Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The first part of the Today Show’s interview with JK Rowling has aired. The second part airs on Friday.
Summary article (for those of us who are still at work ::cough::) and video can be found on their website.
Here there be SPOILERS. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you.)
Helping to promote Indiana Jones IV at Comic-Con International, held in San Diego are a few goodies from Paramount and Hasbro and a display in the Hasbro booth. Something tells me that Indiana Jones action figures will be coming next year!

San Diego Comic Con started tonight, at least for those with media passes. The TOSblog has already grabbed some pics, and we know that Bonnie is there, so no doubt posts are forthcoming. (We also may have some CJers on the scene willing to weigh in.)
As for other LFL ventures, there’s a lot of online hype over this one little little pyramid.
Rebelscum is high on the collecting scene, snapping pics of all the new merchandise, including Sideshow’s Snow Bunny Padme (Remember her?.) Still meh.
Also…
Fanboys is looking for the ultimate fanperson for a cameo. It’s already on TFN and Coming Soon so I don’t think they’ll have much of a problem.
Dalton Ross throws his son a Star Wars birthday party:
One question asked them to name as many members of the Jedi Council as possible. I figured they’d get Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, and Anakin (although I did have to point out that he was not granted the title of Master), but this one squirrelly young’un actually called out Plo Koon. Plo Koon! How the little bastard knew about Plo Koon is beyond me. I had to look him up on the Internet before I could verify the answer as being correct.
That kid? Gonna grow up to be an admin on Wookieepedia.
Today updated their first J.K. Rowling story with more info from their interview, and added another earlier this morning.
They’re business cards, dude. Well, sort of. Question is, will they catch on?
SyFy Portal has opened voting for the SyFy Genre Awards.
Time to go vote for your favorites.
David Hewlett has announced that he will be attempting a simul-chat for his movie A Dog’s Breakfast on Friday, August 3rd. (ADB is the film starring and made by many Stargate cast and crew.)
Fans who have downloaded the film will all press play at the same time and the chatting will ensue, with fans having the chance to ask questions as they go along.
(You might also want to check out David’s blog if you’d like to know when all the Stargate Atlantis stuff is happening at ComicCon.)
Fanboys are powerful. Yeah, I’ve seen the heaps of Slave Leia merchandise, too.
