[FairfieldLife] Re: Cafe Nostalgia (musings about outlaws)
Here's a related (at least in my mind) treat. It's a marvelously creative animated open letter to J. J. Abrams telling him how not to screw up the future movies in the Star Wars franchise the way he and others have screwed them up in the past. And the rules these fans propose are both brilliant and right on. Star Wars is a Western, and it's about outlaws just gettin' by out on the frontier. Mess that up, and you mess up the whole concept. http://io9.com/a-beautifully-animated-open-letter-to-j-j-abrams-about-1\ 397273170 http://io9.com/a-beautifully-animated-open-letter-to-j-j-abrams-about-1\ 397273170 http://io9.com/a-beautifully-animated-open-letter-to-j-j-abrams-about-13\ 97273170 http://io9.com/a-beautifully-animated-open-letter-to-j-j-abrams-about-1\ 397273170 Following these simple rules is what made Star Wars work originally, and it's what made Firefly work. Heck, these rules were even what made the original Japanese film that Star Wars ripped off (The Hidden Fortress) work; that was an outlaw story, too.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Cafe Nostalgia
turq, what I love about this clip is seeing so much *soul* in Emmylou and Willie, 2 very successful entertainers. I bet lots of entertainers have lots of soul, but maybe many of them sort of hide that, thinking they have to do so in order to be successful. It's a treat for me to see 2 who do not hide their soul. If that's what it means to be an outlaw, then power to the renegades I say!
