Provided one has digital cable and all the required hardware, all Cinemax subscribers will get the Saga in HD, not just people with Comcast. However, only Comcast subscribers will get the HD saga on demand.
Cinemax loves lame fanvids
TFN reports that there’s a new promo for the Cinemax Saga going around scored to Coldplay. Coldplay? Not only a cliche, but last year’s cliche? No love, Cinemax. No love.
Bad news if you don’t get Comcast cable
Apparently you only get the real HD versions of the saga if you’re with Comcast. Folks with other cable providers will get some extras, but it’s still a dick move if you ask me.
Lucas/Colbert – it’s crumbelievable!
Thanks to Starwars.com, we now know that the video of George’s full appearance on The Colbert Report last night is up. Woo!
Okay, no – it’s just the same entry video. I think I hate Comedy Central’s site. Anyway, Starwars.com has pictures and stuff. Colbert Nation (the show’s ‘fan’ site, wink wink) has more pictures and a recap and it doesn’t force Firefox to go all seppuku on me.
Colbert vs. Lucas
A lightsaber battle – to the death! Also, another version of the Green Screen montage.
George Lucas on The Colbert Report!
George showed up – SURPRISE – as one of the two finalists in Colbert’s Greenscreen Challenge. (See an entry montage) Colbert introduced the first clip, with the creator, Bonnie (not that Bonnie) on the phone, and then announced that the creator of the second clip, one ‘George L.’ was with them in the studio.
The clip was footage from the the opening ROTS battle, with Stephen, battle droids, and a very special guest. You can watch it on Comedy Central’s site or starwars.com.
Alas – George lost, puppydog eyes and all. He hung out for the rest of the show, both of them holding in the laughs only slightly better than Horatio Sanz on SNL, and ended with a heroic lightsaber duel. Who won? George. I believe that’s the first time Colbert let a guest win anything.
I’ll keep an eye on Youtube for more clips, but right now there’s not much there. Pirates, where are you when I need you? Slacking. How typical.
Colbert to crown Ultimate Video Champion
Stephen Colbert will reveal the winner of his Greenscreen Challenge tonight. You know who I’m rooting for.
Deja vu news
No more blockbusters for Lucasfilm. After Indy IV, naturally… Also, a few droplets on the Clone Wars TV show. Which is to say, more stuff us crazy obsessive folks already know.
Let the pimpery begin
Come with me if you want to live
I admit, I tried to ignore this one. Bad blogger. Last week, TV Guide writer Michael Ausiello was talking to Edward Furlong (The kid from T2, remember?) and he expressed a possible interest in the Star Wars TV series.
Erm… Please, no. Please.
