Palpatine throwing a hissy? Admiral Ackbar, cereal spokesman? Obi-Wan Kenobi, nutkicker? The innate dignity of Star Wars is forever ruined!

Pirates trailer is here!
Counting down to new Pirates trailer
Looks like the worrying about a delay might in vain… A Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End trailer will go live on Monday, March 19th.
Spidey Swinging Back into your Neighborhood
Swinging on to the March 5th (this Monday’s) episode of Heroes will be the new Spiderman3 trailer.
In related news, you will soon be able to get a weekly dose of Spiderman with the addition of The Amazing Spiderman to the Kids’ WB lineup starting in early 2008. Whether or not it will retain the snazzy opening music of the original is anybody’s guess.
And Kelly does the happy Spidey dance!
Video Monday
Rose Bowl Highlights from Starwars.com, with a lot of footage you won’t see elsewhere, including Mary’s serenade. Also from Pasadena, The Troopers on the Bus and Disco Steve, (not Sansweet) who appears to be… I don’t know.
All the stuff I didn’t link last week
- Star Wars Gangsta Rap Live. Well, it’s Memorex. But still funny.
- Gollum & Smeagol sing Barry White
- Early Return of the Jedi trailer. Watching any of the OT trailers periodically is helpful to remind you just how far trailers have come…
- Star Wars and Religious Message.
- Colbert on the iPhone. The dreaded double wag! NASA! Nerd put-downs!
Trailer: Fantastic Four 2
But why does the Silver Surfer look so chintzy? Has not half-decent metal dude technology been around since T2?
The Order is for a Better Trailer
The Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix teaser trailer is now up on Yahoo with plenty of viewing options for those not inclined to watch the teeny-tiny version on the Happy Feet website.
Order of the Pheonix teaser trailer
Yes, you have to go to the dancing penguin movie site to watch it. No, it’s not very long, or very big. But is it Harry Potter, so I hope you find it worth the time.
For the obsessive, there’s The Leaky Cauldron’s ‘world-famous’ shot-by-shot comparison and links to larger versions. They also link to E!’s set visit video.
No time for love, Dr. Jones
Pirate (argh) trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix or a much clearer 10 second clip. Yes, the pirate version is exactly as crap as you’d expect, but there are people on LiveJournal literally shitting their pants over it. Plus, you get to avoid the penguin movie.
Word on the street is that the trailer officially debuts on the internet Monday. Clear caps can be found at Coming Soon.
