Who knows what evils lurk in the hearts of fangirls?
Ah, who am I kidding? We had a wedding ceremony for a pair of cardboard cut-outs and a baby shower for a pineapple. We know.
The Dark Side’s Middle Management
Some hilarious musings on the Sith power structure from Venusburg.
It must have been terribly frustrating for poor Count Dooku, getting older and older in his position in middle management as young Sith turks are fast-tracked into being deputy Sith lord. I mean, the guy is ancient. All the other young Sith must have wondered why, after his long years of service, he was still stuck on the fourth floor, corner office or no. Rumours of some scandal, perhaps involving Darth Sidious’ wife. Or could he just not handle the pressure?
Movie News: ROTK, Unfortunate Events, Superheros
The extended edition of Return of the King is scheduled for release on December 14th. It features, among other things, a in-character comment track from Gollum and Smeagol.
Superheros! Bryan Singer on Superman; David Goyer on Batman Begins; first pics of the Fantastic Four. And then there are spoof rumors.
Rumor Mill: Sean Connery may give voice to Aslan in the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film.
The official site for the Series of Unfortunate Events movie is up, and Coming Soon has a look at the preview poster.
Karrdes may enjoy these pictures of Natalie Portman in her latest film, Closer. Our little Amidala’s all grown up…
I don’t fear…
This summary of Episode 3 seems likely, at least according to what spoiler material I’ve read. Needless to say, this link is not for our friends who dwell in the spoiler cave.
Pirate figures
This won’t help anyone in pursuit of Johnny Depp’s dirty pirate children, but you might be glad to hear that there are Pirates Of The Caribbean action figures coming out. Including a 18″ (!!!) Jack Sparrow.
Alas, they don’t seem to stripable, so you’ll have to content yourself with Obi-Wan and his tawdry pals. On that note… I ran across a customized Qui-Gon on LJ. Is he not sparkly?
Buyer Beware?
Apparently the Special Features DVD will overwrite some of the software if you play it on an Xbox. Okay!
It is your destiny. I have forseen it.
Celebration III registration opens up next week. There are virtual lines forming as I type this, I’m sure. Assuming SW fans can tear themselves away from their DVDs…
“As you can see, my young fanboy, your whining has failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully-armed and operational DVD launch!”
Anne Rice’s spiral of destruction via Amazon.com
First Anne Rice got rid of her editor. Now she’s responding to bad reviews on Amazon. There is no doubt in my mind that the woman is crazy. If you can take the snark and mockery, check out the thread on fandom wank.
D-Day
DVDS are out, which I’m sure you all know… The Movie Blog has a review. And there’s another Mark Hamill interview at CNN.
Brent Sienna of PVP has a few words. I hear ya, buddy.
Hint Hint
AICN is reporting that a familiar face might be doing voice work in ROTS… Very familiar. And I can’t really say anything more without angering the Cave Dwellers.
