Finally...

I finally (according to my husband) watched THX 1138, George Lucas's first movie. I thought it was a bit incomprehensible, which makes sense as it takes place in a very developed and complicated alternate reality. The thing I dislike about these "futuristical" (Jackism) movies is that they always end with the hero (sometimes with a heroine in tow) escaping into the "real" world and then that's it. I always wanted to know what happened next. (Until I saw The Matrix 2, now I know why most of those movies stop where they do.) Still, what happens next intrigues me the most. How do you build a new world?
