@ThatMoviePage Having the music released on the Star Wars 4CD box set in 1993 was so awesome!

Probably John Williams finest hour as far as Star Wars music goes, that choral piece is incredible.

‘Return of the Jedi’ was released 43 years ago today

Seeing Star Wars as a kid was life changing. The Story, the effects, the music! 49 years later it’s still an awesome movie.

The opening crawl will forever be a peak cinematic experience. Happy 49 years Star Wars.

@filmicshailar Rey’s theme is brilliant, especially when the glue is involved.

@LoveInner I’ve not actually heard it, as it’s not in my collection. I did buy Beethoven’s 5th on a subscription LP when I was 15 or so. It was VPO, Bohm, 1970, and I’ve always been content with that recording.

The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.
Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.
Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.
The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.
The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.
A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.

Young Sherlock Holmes is surprisingly good ... one feels that J.K. Rowling must've had it in her VHS machine for years before turning to the typewriter. Always surprised Nicholas Rowe never became a big star; he's got charisma to spare.

Young Sherlock (1985). This is remembered for its early (and effective) use of CGI, but it's actually a cracker of an adventure movie. There's a bit of Indiana Jones and a bit of The Goonies to it: no surprise given the involvement of Steven Spielberg!

@dilfydrew Rugby training, after stretching and a bit of food, I’m really frisky!

@Microinteracti1 @northclarctica Of the superlatives that could be assigned to different eras in our country’s history, I believe the most appropriate one for the Trump era is “Saddest”.

Abraham Lincoln got shot in the head and still managed to keep the country together. Franklin Roosevelt ran the entire Second World War from a wheelchair. Eisenhower defeated Hitler and then, just to stay busy, built 48,000 miles of motorway. Kennedy looked at the moon, said “we’ll have that,” and inside a decade they did. Reagan stared down the Soviet Union until it simply gave up and went home.
Two hundred and fifty years. Forty-six men. Men who stormed beaches, split atoms, faced down nuclear annihilation over breakfast and then filed sensible paperwork about it afterward.
And then, after all of that, the entire accumulated weight of American history, the most consequential democratic experiment the world has ever seen, produced this.
A television review.
No Mars landing. No cure for cancer. No Soviet empire dissolved before lunch. Just a man in the White House, in the year 2026, informing the internet that a CBS chat show host had no talent.
That is what 250 years of American greatness built. America should be deeply, permanently ashamed of itself.

@LyleShelton With you taking the photo, it’s certainly not safe, for anyone.

I heard someone say that there no good ending on TV. Bad TV Endings only started to be a recurring thing when every show had to be a overrated multi hour movie that had no plan as how to end it. There plenty of good TV Ending. I would say most of the U.S. Top View Series Finale like Mash, Cheers, Newhart, Macgyver, Magnum P.i. were pretty good at being endings of there respective shows.

@DaveBuzan The gone with the wind style movie poster for Empire is brilliant.

"The Empire Strikes Back" was released on this day in 1980. Magnificent sequel by George Lucas from director Irvin Kershner and screenwriters Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan.
Highlights: Unforgettable puppeteering performance by Frank Oz as Yoda; exceptional editing by Paul Hirsch; spectacular John Williams score remains my favorite of the series.
Grossing over sixteen times its production budget, this first "Star Wars" sequel became one of the most successful films ever made.
I'm among those fans who consider "The Empire Strikes Back" to be the best film of the series.
It's a masterpiece.
