But there are, I mean, obviously borrowing liberally from 2001, some of the elliptical things that are happening in this film.
And I had only ever seen it in like bad tube, you know, late night TV or VHS.
So to see it now on the blue, on the big screen, it's like, oh, that's, it's really something.
Well, it's Lucas's best film.
Let's say yes, they are.
Screenplay by George Lucas and Walter Murch.
And the soundscape in THX is amazing.
wild yeah you could just i need to re-watch this you should just listen to it and the soundscape is really something i'm waiting on the 4k for this to be honest with you where is that uh i don't know where the 4k is i actually had to replace my my disc was corrupted i had to get a new disc something was wrong with that's thxian there you go uh extras in thx played by uh
members of the cult Synanon.
Synanon was a very violent cult, eventually got into a lot of trouble in San Francisco, and a lot of people went to prison, and they put a de-rattled rattlesnake in the mailbox of the district attorney, and he actually got bit by the rattlesnake.
I mean, Synanon has an ugly history, but they're the extras in THX.

I mean, I was thinking of this, I rewatched both Godfathers for, for this draft.
I rewatched them with Carrie and I was thinking about the horse's head and I,
I actually paused the movie and I turned to Carrie and I said, whose idea was that?
I mean, was it Tom's idea?
Does Tom go to the Don and say he's not going to budge and the Don says cut off the horse's head and put it in his bed?
