Harry here... Tonight old friends came to Geek Headquarters... It was a meeting of the Kings of AICN -- Harry, Moriarty and Hercules the Strong. Moriarty brought the woman in green and Harry Lime, Herc brought Pizza. Before the night was over, Johnny Wad stumbled into the top secret get together and we sat in the screening room here at AICN and we watched the greatest geek film of our lives... The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in widescreen perfection from my mint stunning I.B. Technicolor print and we understood that indeed this was top of the world, ma!

I screened it because... A) Its the Greatest Geek Sequel Ever. B) There's a serious challenger arriving in theaters this Wednesday. I think it is funny that people like to pit movies against each other as if one could rate the Mona Lisa versus Persistence of Memory. It just isn't reasonable. What wins... Minnie the Moocher or Imagine? Rating this stuff is absurd at best, but fun for a circle jerk talk around a room. Watching EMPIRE STRIKES BACK we just marveled at the soul in Yoda's eyes, the expressions on his face, the way that film played with light and sculpted the most beautiful images to ever grace science fiction. I wanted to watch EMPIRE STRIKES BACK with Hercules and Moriarty and Harry Lime - because we hadn't done that together yet, and its one of those films that causes an instant holy geek bond with anyone whom you sit to watch it with.

For the 3+ hours that we watched it (REEL CHANGES AND DISCUSSION AT EACH BREAK) we were no longer thinking about the time that was slowly ticking till TWO TOWERS this Tuesday night at Midnight. We were all, each of us over 20 years younger and we were remembering a time, much like the time we are in now... A time of great anticipation, where we each know that something special is in a theater near us soon... When film is suddenly the greatest thing in the world and the people you see it with the dearest people you know. Each of us will have a story about the first time we saw THE TWO TOWERS, few of us will have one as great as Yoda1's... but some of you will meet someone new at the theater... at the screening... on your row, or the row behind you. You'll remember the sounds of the theater, that feeling you had at each twist and turn. Will it be the greatest moment of your life? I hope not, life does get better than movies, but movies can be awfully great... especially when shared with those you love. Here's a trailer they have over at TheOneRing.Net that is just one of those things that makes ya giddy. It has Ents, Ring Wraiths on Fell Beasts, Cave Trolls, Gollum and more... It is just amazing. So watch it, or save for another 5 days... Whatever your choice, you win. Damn, I'm dying for this!
