Oh, and the most gut wrenching TV episode I've ever seen is Rescue Me...
Spoil:
When Tommy's son gets hit by the drunk driver. It just happened out of nowhere, completely unexpected, and it seemed real and tragic. They didn't draw it out over half an episode...the kid goes to ride his bike and they focus on Tommy...then there's a car crash in the background, then you feel like something's wrong...they drew the emotion out of you.
When the mom died in Walking Dead, and the kid calmly shoots her and walks out with no emotion? Are you kidding me? And they have to cut back and forth from the baby scene to the zombie chase to the Governor playing golf back to the baby scene, etc etc...just let a story play out!
Woke up this morning and my uvula (dangly thing in the back of your throat) was really swolen, at least 3 times its normal size. It's still swolen now too. I can feel it hitting my tongue and swallowing is a little more difficult. Anyone had this happen?

That's odd, I had my tonsils removed... Maybe that's why it's never happened to me ?
I don't remember covering the inside of the mouth in science...
Went through the whole trilogy via audio book at work for the last two weeks.
Very, very good. Sometimes the author gets a bit repetetive in his phrasing(I swear someone gets "a shiver up their spine" at least 50-80 times throughout the trilogy, but whatever), but the overall story is pretty good.
The guy that wrote Toy Story 3 turned in a big 50 page treatment for the new Star Wars movie (he's a huge fan--has taught classes and given lectures on it) and the studio submitted it for thoughts from JJ Abrams, Speilberg, and Brad Bird.

Deadline is reporting that Bird's 40 page treatment isn't just for episode VII, but for the entire new trilogy. Dayum.

I think it is Arndt that wrote it...Bird's one of the directors looking at it. Yeah, I've read that Arndt probably already had it done "for fun" before they even announced they were going to film new episodes and just polished what he had.

Yeah Arndt is what I meant.
And where I was reading up on it, Lucas and co had already approached Arndt a few months ago to do this treatment, so he has been working on it for a while. Apparently some writers and agents are pissed that they had the guy working on it before it was even announced, they didn't get a crack at it. Oh well.
can't really go wrong with an Oscar winner...
plus it isn't a lock that he'll write the screenplay. i think he is for sure going to be on the writing team, though. good signs. Feeling better about this.
I'm hoping they get Mark Hamill a part. Just a voiceover, even.
I have a hard time believing Hamill would go back. I get the impression that he's really happy with himself being known as an amazing voice actor, he has carved himself a hell of a following doing all the VO work he does.
Who knows though. I think it more depends on when/where they want the next movies to be. I have a feeling it won't follow any of the major book plot lines, and it'll be some off-the-wall straight out of left field weirdness that doesn't involve many of the main established characters.
