Or SWAGAD.

So me and my friend were talking, specifically about people who came to loath their creations, or the roles they played in a movie once that dominated their lives after that. Naturally, my friend being a giant star wars geek, mentions Sir Alec, and the fact that despite having a long and storied career, died Obi-Wan.

So my proposal is this: on April the second, his birthday, all star wars fans should put away the trilogies and watch any other movie that he was in, particularly if he was an important role. In this way he'll be remembered the way he wanted to be, and Star Wars fans will either have their cinematic range broadened a bit, or will have a great excuse to watch Murder by Death.

I'm down for this. I don't think I've ever seen anything else with him in it.


RIP Hacker.

C'mon man, you never saw Oliver Twist? Lawrence of Arabia? The Bridge on the River Kwai? What about the Scrooge movie with Albert Finney? That was the best one.

My pick for this the holiday, should I remember it, will be Dr. Zhivago. I've never seen it.
