The day Star Wars opened, George Lucas and his wife were eating there. Lucas, busy supervising various final mixes [either for foreign or non-Dolby releases I think] had totally forgotten that the film had opened. He and his wife saw a lot of people lined up around the block outside and thought "What is this all about?" only to discover they were lined up to see Star Wars at Mann's Chinese theater. <BR/><BR/>I read about the supposed Oedipus complex in Hamlet when I checked out it's wiki.

I wish my memory of it were better but to be honest I know more about Hamburger Hamlet than Hamlet. http://hamletrestaurants.com/ I've seen the Mel Gibson film, which had the audacity to cast Glenn Close as Gertrude even though she's only 9 years older than he. The finer details are buried under a pile of useless pop culture knowledge :p.Tony Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227041873740244630noreply@blogger.com
