Favorite reading provider of reading material The AV Club posted this article, "Before Star Wars, George Lucas was an indie filmmaker" on the early days of his career and the movie THX-1138 which odds are a lot of you haven't seen still. (I have and let me tell you, it's a pretty intense experience, particularly in the middle of the night.)

Click here to check out the article on the movie, and while it is a little spoilery.... well, who cares.  The movie is like 40 years old and if you haven't seen it, maybe this will convince you to check it out.
