Putting things in Perspective
Today's Bleat is worth the read. I especially like the line about owning trees.
Lileks also has some funny stuff at Buzz.mn, especially about spoilers.
I don’t know what compels people to give away the ending. I’m one of a select group of people: I learned about Luke Skywalker’s father on the opening night of “The Empire Strikes Back.” Let me tell you: no one saw that coming. The last time I’d felt anything like that was in 1963, when the planes at the local Air National Guard Base celebrated National Sonic Boom Week. We all left the theater with smug expressions, passing the people queued for the next show: I know something you don’t. No one shouted out the secret.I will admit, though, the Harry Potter Dumbledore spoilers still make me chuckle.Even now I hesitate to write the particulars. I’d like my child to experience it first-hand, but that’s probably a lost cause. Dad, someone at school said Rosebud was Darth Vader’s sled when he was a Cylon. Is that true? More or less, yeah.
