It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I grew up not to far from Elstree studios. My brother went to school about a mile or two from there. The film was huge and funnily enough neither one of us has ever seen it. There is also a airfield not far from there.It is a very old area and nearby is a village called Radlett. They have a roman road there............

Wasn't The Shining filmed at Elstree?

Love Carrie's blurb for the book... how apropro

Where the Hell did that monkey come from?  First post, second to the last pic?  I don't remember that from any of the original Trilogy...

Actually then never used the monkey. They origionally thought that because of its size, a money dressed and masked would make a more beliveable Yoda.

However, they discovered that the unpredicability of the monkey just wouldn't make it possible to use. So they went muppet on Yoda...I mean puppet.

We were in a book store this weekend and out of curiosity I checked out this book:



It's a pretty neat and full on look at how they made the film - however if you are so inclined to purchase it - beware that in stores it's $85 where as you can purchase it on Amazon for $49 and get free shipping.

It's the real deal too!

Yeah, IIRC..David Prowse was about 6'6". 

It would fit my step-father..who is about 6'8"..pretty snug.
