Just started watching Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. I love the audio and visual effects in the new Star Wars films - I don't really recall seeing the earlier ones.
Conveniently, when Sally and I moved in together, she had Episode IV, V and VI on DVD and I had Episode I, II and III in my collection. Perfect. We definitely should have a Star Wars marathon!
Love them or hate them? What are your favourite Star Wars movies?

Sally and I just watched Catfish - a 2010 American documentary involving a man being filmed by his friends as he builds a romantic relationship on the social networking website Facebook with an attractive girl.
Worth watching.

In 1978, director Martin Scorsese turned his camera on his friend and roommate, Steven Prince, creating the documentary 'American Boy'. Prince was best known for his role as the gun salesman in 'Taxi Driver', but to many was a true-life raconteur, actor, ex-drug addict, and road manager for Neil Diamond.
To Scorsese, Steven's life was more fascinating than what any screenwriter could dream up, it had to be captured in celluloid, and 'American Boy' did just that and became somewhat of a cult documentary amongst notable directors and movie-types - so much so that Quentin Tarantino based a famous scene from 'Pulp Fiction' on a story Prince had told of during the recording.
Three decades later, filmmaker and producer of 'A Scanner Darkly', Tommy Pallotta draws out Steven Prince to recount his days since 'American Boy' and to compose the next chapter of his story under the guise of a new documentary 'American Prince'.
