This has been around a while, but what the hell… It’s timely! And if you’re looking for something a tad less 2006: Wolverine: The Musical.

AND it’s out. This is supposed to go up at 9 EST tonight, but apparently E! jumped the gun. I’m on my way out the door, so keep up at /Film.

Twelve new locations this weekend, including Charlotte, North Carolina, which will have the 501st’s Carolina Garrison in attendance Saturday night.

Meanwhile, StarWars.com has the DVD art. Look for it in stores May 19, aka the 10-year anniversery of The Phantom Menace.

The nominations for the 35th Annual Saturn Awards are out, with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull scoring five nominations, including Best Science Fiction Film and nods for both Harrison Ford and Shia LeBouf. The Clone Wars also picked up two nominations, one for Best Animated Movie and another for Best Syndicated/Cable series.

The Saturns are presented by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films to honor genre film and tv, so pretty much everything of note has a nod. The Dark Knight leads with 11 total. Expect to hear about the winners in June.

Since we all love a good filk, check out San Diegan songwriters Eben Brooks & Allison Lonsdale as they debut Brooks’ filk, “It’s the End of the ‘Verse as We Know It” last weekend…

Sister Salad’s Alexandra and Lizz in ‘Yo Comments Are Whack!’ Good advice for all! (via)

(The followup is pretty funny, too.)

With the DVD release of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog coming up this Friday, the Amazon asked Joss Whedon to give it a review. A little odd, since he wrote it, so, well, he made his review a little odd in kind. It’s typical Joss goofiness, which is fun, and definitely worth a read. I give it forty eight billion stars.

I can’t wait to watch “Commentary!” the musical!

The song (by Mark Jonathan Davis) has been around a while and this particular video is amateurish at best, but hey, it’s Friday: Enjoy. (via)

With JadeCon just beyond us and all the new filks showing up on the list (if not at the actual con,) this one by The Eben Brooks Band does seem particularly relevant to our interests. (Thanks, Jennifer!)

The Dark Knight’s Joker meets The Fresh Prince of Bel Air in this amusing filk/mashup. (via)
