Star Trek vs. Star Wars yet again

May 26th, 2009 by Dunc · 6 Comments

The Force-Cast takes on the latest hot topic with a roundtable comparing sci-fi’s two biggest fish. Joining the usual gang is Rebelscum’s Jovial Jay and former Trek and Wars fan club president Dan Madsen.

On that note, does anyone have any idea why the SciFi Channel isn’t rerunning the hell out of the original series? I was feeling the urge to DVR some TOS last night, and spent about five minutes scrolling through a week’s worth of schedule… And the only Trek I could find was Enterprise. (Poking around online shows some TNG on Friday, but nothing but that and Enterprise through most of June.)

This is why you fail, SciFi. (It’s still SciFi until July 7, by George!) I’ll get my fix – I’m pretty sure the local NBC affiliate runs it at odd hours of the night – but I’m just boggled by SciFi’s lack of action here.

There goes the neighborhood

Harry Potter passes James Bond as the film franchise that brings in the most bucks worldwide. Star Wars is #3.

According Variety, this is without taking inflation into account, and Star Wars is still champ domestically. Damn right.

Star Wars: It gets around

June 27th, 2007 by Dunc · Comments Off

OH, IT’S ON NOW, BITCHES!
Silly Brits picked the Lord of the Rings trilogy over classic Star Wars in an Amazon.co.uk poll. Hometown advantage? The prequel trilogy rang in at #6 on the best list (beating Spider-Man) and #5 on the worst.

JESUS CHRIST IT’S A GOOGLE
Get in the car, ET! Google Maps Street View caught you on film! Or at least get rid of the lightsaber, dude. Your friends should get on that GPS thing by now.
