Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Okay, so I promised to keep the Invincible poll up for two weeks. And I am! But now it has a friend, because the new Indiana Jones movie came out today! Vote below the cut, or on the sidebar… And yes, it will also be there for two weeks. Continue reading “Poll: What did you think of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?“
Tickets are on sale now, and today StarWars.com members can check their email for a few more announcements:
UPDATE: All this is live now at StarWars.com.
DealExtreme’s Signaling LED Light Rod Keychain is only a mere $1.99, but promises minutes of unlicensed under-the-radar fun. Or not. (via)
Yesterday was Rostoni, today it’s Denning himself… Though he is limiting himself to only twelve or so – so far, he’s (sort of) addressed the ‘white eyes’ theory, among other spoilery things.
One can’t make enough “There can be only one!” jokes about the franchise that no one can ever be bothered to leave for dead. (Five movies, two TV shows, and I’m probably missing something.) But no, yesterday Summit Entertainment announced they’re planning to bring new life to Highlander, and have a couple of Iron Man writers aboard to prove it.
Original producer Peter Davis is returning, but no word on how many hilariously inappropriately-accented actors they plan to cast.
ETA: Flash Gordon, too? There are clearly too many Queen fans in this business.
The midnight showings are tomorrow night for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And with the release almost upon us, there’s a deluge of news articles covering the movie, the stars, the reviews, the crystal skulls, the merchandise, and pretty much anything else that can fit with Indiana Jones (Anyone see those NBA playoff/Indiana Jones commercials? what’s the connection there?)
Here’s some of the random news and commentary that’s fit to print:
George Takei, the “Star Trek” regular who recently had a stint in NBC’s “Heroes” as Hiro’s dad, plans to make it legal with his partner of 21 years. Read the announcement on his official site.
Congratulations, George!
Editor Sue Rostoni is back, addressing fan questions and concerns about Invincible and beyond (so yes, there are spoilers!) Look for Rostoni posting as Eeusu Estornii, starting on page 432 of the BCaT VIPs thread.
She revealed a bit of news regarding Millennium Falcon as well – it’s set about two years after the events of LOTF.
TFN posted a reminder today that the Star Wars 15-stamp sheet will no longer be available after the 25th. (Yoda stamps are okay through October.)
Postage rates have gone up since these were issued, so if you actually plan on using them be sure to make up the difference.
