All my potential wasted...

To think I could have been doing this all these years:

This is Another Reason I Love The Clone Wars

Here is a link to a video with the director of The Clone Wars discussing a new character but also discussing character development that holds true to the evolution of the Republic into the Empire. Pretty cool.

The Force is weak in France...

I'm not exactly sure what's going on in this video, but it's awesome:

007

Well its 25 day old news, but I just found out today that John Barry passed away. Known for many movie scores from Out of Africa to Dances with Wolves, the stuff that I can que up in a moments notice is his work on the James Bond movies. R.I.P.

I think this baby needs an intervention...

Ouch...

Does whatever a spider can...

The Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies set the bar pretty high, but the images released for the upcoming Spiderman reboot look pretty "amazing." They even went classic with the old-school mechanical web slingers. Awesome. The only negative? We have to wait till the summer of 2012.

Some day, Cyclops will get the love he deserves...

X-Men: First Class seems to imply a movie about the original five X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel) from the comics, so you can imagine my building disappointment as I read the emerging details of this movie over the past year. Happily, based on some new commentary by producer Bryan Singer, the name may be misleading. The trailer that came out today looks interesting. Let's hope they have some more twists in store to explain how Havoc can be in a movie without his big brother Cyclops existing in the same timeline.

Good to know that a new generation appreciates a good flick when he sees one...

I can just imagine this kid spitting out movie quotes left and right soon:

Things that make you go, hmmm...

The James Bond reboot was deeper than you thought (from Warren Ellis, via kottke.org):

In CASINO ROYALE, James Bond is the Bond girl. Look at the way they even show him emerging from the ocean like Ursula Andress. Sexual torture, too, if less creepy-glam than being stripped and painted gold. Vesper Lynd is Bond: never not in control, never without a plan, seducing to further her goals. She has to die so Bond can become her.

Not quite sure how this sells me on the car, but cool commercial anyway...

LMFAO

This website had me cracking up this morning.

Damn You Auto Correct

Here is a funny example:

Add Bacon Strips, Add Bacon Strips, Add Bacon Strips, Add Bacon Strips

I thought our group might like this!

Binks killed grandma...

I always wondered how I would introduce Star Wars to my children when the time comes:

This is One Reason I Love the Clone Wars

This season's Clone Wars on the Cartoon Network has been titled Secrets Revealed. So far it hasn't revealed much in my opinion. This third season has paled in comparison to the first two seasons, which I really enjoyed. Today I saw something to give me hope though. Supposedly they will be revealing all sorts of Sith stuff including the origin of Darth Maul.



There is a small part of me that is reluctant to know more about Maul because not knowing is part of what makes him so cool. But that part of me is so small that given the opportunity to find out more I wouldn't hesitate. I hope Dave Filoni and Lucas come up with something really cool. What is really cool you ask? Well in Episode III when Palpatine and Anakin have their talk at the opera house, that was worth the whole first three movies in my opinion.

[It looks like Swany and Scratch will be the only ones to be able to learn any of this before the rest of us. That is with little travel, anyway.]

Hopefully, he won't be strung out on drugs by age twelve...

About the only thing that could possibly make this kid any cheesier is if we found out his name was Tommy Lee:

A perfect combination...

Tron + Daft Punk = Dangerously Cheesy anticipation:

Everything is better with Cheetos...

I was perusing some of the stories on The New York Times website today, and happened across a restaurant review for Xiao Ye, some new hipster hangout on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The fact that the writer gives the place a "meh" review is minor in comparison to a particular picture of one of their dishes--Cheeto-coated fried chicken! I thinking a new food trend incorporating Cheetos into cuisine on par with adding bacon to everything is long overdue.

Robots in Disguise

Michael Bay is filming Transformers 3 in Washington DC. They are staging the vehicles out in front of my office. I missed getting all the cars as they were rolling out, but I will have more opportunities this week. Looks like one of the Transformers is a Waste Management trash truck.
