Well, I WAS going to nostalgically rhapsodize how, prior to 1977,
Memorial Day was considered the "kiss of death" weekend for movies
(well, everyone would be barbecuing at the beach, wouldn't they?), and
Fox originally let Lucas have his bottle and dump the movie in a weekend
where "no one would notice", so that they could concentrate on their big
June studio opening for "Other Side of Midnight", but...times and
current headlines must take precedence.
