movie review - Star Wars (drinking game edition)

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1997.04.29

Well, this was the drinking game version of the movie, where you take a shot every time Luke whines, R2's head spins, an old Jedi rambles about the force, someone gets strangled, someone complains about the Millennium Falcon, Han brags about the Falcon, etc., etc.

I was wobbly by the time they made it to the cantina, but one of the rules is drink every time an elaborately made up alien gets no lines, so I was unconscious shortly after they discover that Alderaan has been destroyed. I came to in time for the destruction of the Death Star...

Recommended.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.
