Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
But fandom has been buzzing about the Doctor’s brand-new companion for S4. Meanwhile S3, featuring the last new companion* starts airing in the U.S on Friday. (via Big Dumb Object, who has a lot more links.)
* I keep thinking Firefly, and it’s totally not like that at all. Right?
Geeks of Doom (Fear them!) rate the 30 most memorable Star Wars quotes.
A scene from the film Human Traffic where two drugged-up dudes discuss Star Wars. (Caution: F-bombs are dropped.)
Hackers have created a Harry Potter worm that latches onto portable USB drives. The Hairy-A worm then gives the infected a message to ‘repent’ when the computer reboots.
On a more positive note, HBO is running a 13-minute first look at the upcoming Order of the Phoenix movie.
After a bit of haggling with FedEx, I finally got my copy of The Art of Ralph McQuarrie.
Wow. I never realized how much breadth of talent Ralph McQuarrie has. Sure, he created some of the most iconic images in Star Wars. Sure, he clearly has a great understanding of design. But I just never realized.
Okay. I’ve fallen a bit behind on all the Heroes news. Their casting office has been quite busy the last few weeks.
SyFy Portal has very kindly summarized the new cast additions for me.
Fans of Alias, Veronica Mars and Enterprise will be pleased.
Star Trek Inspirational Posters by Gary. And there’s one about Wookiees on page six.
Yes, there are Sacrifice spoilers in the links, so don’t even think about mousing over them if you haven’t read the book. No, I’m not posting any details here, but I gotta quote this:
Lucas Licensing apparently allowed this disaster to happen and now we should call on them to reverse it. The Sith have the power to bring back the dead and so too then does the Force.
Whether it is [CHARACTER] or [CHARACTER] or even someone else I don’t care. I just want [SPOILER] back.
I’m facepalming as hard as I can. Look, being sad/disappointed with the ‘event’ is all well and good, but internet petitions over spilt milk are just silly.
Are Hogwarts and wizards just the flavor of the moment, or will Harry and friends ascend as classic children’s literature? Well, if nothing else, the huge numbers of the books that libraries buy to keep up with demand will keep them around for a good long time. Seriously, my local library still has half-a-dozen copies of The Bridges of Madison County, last I checked.
