RIP James Earl Jones (1931-2024)
This particular scene in 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' (1980) will be etched in my memory forever, not only due to the twist, but because of the way in which James Earl Jones (as Darth Vader) delivers this iconic line.
@dominickmatthew Holy cow, that's beautiful! What an age we live in where a human can live in orbit, record a natural sight like that, and beam it back to Earth for us to enjoy. Thank you!
@TammySalyer Yikes, Tammy! I saw it when I was 16, in a theater. Came home to a creaky empty house (parents gone for the weekend). Slept upstairs on the couch instead of my basement bedroom, "slept" being a vast overstatement.
A nice review of my novella, "The Haunting of Last Stand Hill," in the August issue of Roundup Magazine, the journal of the Western Writers of America, Inc. Page 29, top left. Thanks to Johnny D. Boggs and Jeff Mariotte! #WWA@Western_Writers#weirdwest https://t.co/df4AM7sPwH
@TammySalyer I shut my office door, turn down the lights, and put on a playlist of music tailored for the book I'm working on. It helps kickstart the writing.
