Nate Dern, the Star Wars tribute band guy, says Beauty and the Geek changed his life. Aww. And hey, you can download his band’s songs from their MySpace, if so inclined.
And fandom wept
A commercial I saw during last night’s finale of America’s Next Top Model (Shut up!) indicates that one of the geeks from the upcoming season of Beauty and the Geek is part of a “Star Wars tribute band.” He sings a few bars from a song about Han Solo.
I am disturbed. Which may be ironic for someone who runs a website containing the internet’s biggest collection of Star Wars filk (and admits to watching ANTM,) but so be it.
Thoughts?
Dare to geek on national television?
ABC is looking for “families who are Extreme Star Wars Enthusiast” to appear on Wife Swap. Interested? You can apply here. Again, thanks to Bonnie for the inside info!
Everyone loves a costumed freak
The Sci-Fi Channel and Stan Lee are hooking up for Who Wants to be a Superhero? I don’t know how much mileage there is in this concept, but I really, really want them to team up with Project Runway. Somebody has to smite General Zod Santino before I start throwing stuff at my TV.
Horror Beyond Imagination
Four, count ’em – four new commercials from The Apprentice featuring Star Wars characters: Style, Death Star, Blame Game, and Fired.
After watching these spots I’m convinced pretty much the only thing that Vader can do for Trump is put him out of my misery.
Rise, Lord Combover
I don’t know about you, but Star Wars isn’t going to make me watch The Apprentice. I already took one for the team this year. Screw Trump.
I’m more of a Martha fan anyway. That woman would make one hell of a Sith, and Trump is the Admiral Daala to her Palpatine.
And since yes, since there is TV that doesn’t involve ‘reality,’ there was quite a big chunk of ROTS reference – an entire conversation, even – on last night’s Gilmore Girls. I’m keeping my eyes out for a transcript, but for now let me just say it involved higher ground. And ranting. Lovely, lovely ranting.
