Dateline: 10/29/05
      To all my many fans out there, I'm extremely sorry to have been away this long with no word to you. I'm sure you must be greatly chagrined in having so much time pass without a word from yours truly. But, I must declare, it wasn't my fault! The editing process has been a closely guarded secret and I have been sworn to secrecy. I could write a book on the behind-the-scenes adventures of one of the most-awaited films in history! Each day was a new look into the creative genius of D.W. In years hence, I will be able to say that I was there. In fact, perhaps I should write a book for the ages. That I should be so privileged as to be a part of film history is an astonishing occurrence! But, let me try to fill in a few details on the process which I have lately observed. No one, I repeat, no one has been allowed to view the internal proceedings of the editing process. Armed guards constantly patrolled the studio backlots as there have been quite a few intruders dying to catch a glimpse of some of the edited footage. For example, the other night, one of the cooks in the commisary tried to surreptiously videotape some of the projected footage as he served the soup! Obviously, he was a paid stooge of one of the other jealous studios out there! D.W., that master, caught on pretty quickly and had this naughty cook ejected forthwith! Served him right! I have been allowed by D.W. to now share some of the proceedings with you since the post-production work is just about finished. In my coming columns, I will give you a fascinating look at how all the different elements have come together to create one of the wonders of the modern world! Until then, I'm back!....K.P.
