...recent A&E docu-drama, "The clink of a glass, the drop of a hat--you'd hear the littlest sound, everyone was so quiet when Lucky arrived at the club." These were high profile men: men who drank their whisky straight, men who traveled in a cloud of cash and Cuban cigars, leaving nothing in their wake save the thick black smoke of deceit. And the dead...

...gases mixed in, plus a lot of sooty dust. Billions upon billions of comets orbit lazily out beyond Neptune--most of which we'll never even see. When one happens to fall in toward the sun, though, the ice begins to vaporize, surrounding the solid core with a hazy cloud of dusty...

...effects because they change more than cosmetics. The altered Han Solo-Greedo scene, for example, revises Han's behavior; and by implication his character, and some of the new Mos Eisley scenes add humor where none existed before.

...Empire Strikes Back, it appears that he has thought less about improving than about showing what he and his friends at Industrial Light & Magic can do with a few more millions. They can make computer-animated views of Cloud City and the Wampa which look like what every other piece of computer animation (barring Toy Story) you've seen looks like: computer animation. The wonderful thing about the Star Wars movies was that, bound by the lack of technology, the film-makers had to opt for the more difficult process of location shooting and make Tunisia look like Tattoine...
