It gets me…right here.

I may be a sucker for that sappy “this is your life” stuff, but it usually chokes me up none the less. And for anyone out there who has been watching movies for any part of the last 30 years, you’ve all got someone to thank; George Lucas. But for those of you who haven’t thanked him yet, you can at least watch other people doing it for you. Recently, the American Film Institute bestowed George Lucas with the 2005 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, and for our enjoyment, the entire ceremony was taped and this past Monday, televised. If you would like to see it, you can catch an Encore presentation this Saturday at 2:00AM and Sunday at 9:00AM. Otherwise, you can download it from various Torrent websites (none of which I’ll mention, but I know it’s out there). Anyway, it’s a great tribute and a moving event. If you can watch it, I’d recommend you do.
