The Empire Strikes Back

I watched Star Wars Episode V today, continuing my 9-day movie marathon. It contained much that I had forgotten – I only remembered it as being “that ice-planet Star Wars movie”, but I had forgotten about Luke’s training with Yoda on Dagobah, Han getting frozen in carbonite and Luke losing his hand to Darth Vader (his father…shhhhh). Tomorrow it’s Return of the Jedi.

Tonight, however, we pause for a main event monster brawl – an all-out knock-down drag-out between the two heavyweight champions of the monster movie franchises – Godzilla vs Kong. Yeah, sounds pretty hokey. We’ll see though, I’m keeping an open mind. If the story and CGI are up to par, this could be something special. We’re getting the popcorn and drinks ready.
