A night for lists

IMAGE: LandoEntertainment Weekly celebrates sexy aliens, with our own Lando Calrissian clocking it at at #4. (Yes ladies, a fair amount of menfolk make the list, which is nice.) Slightly less innocent is New York Magazine’s ten movie vaginas even scarier than the one in Teeth, which ‘graciously’ includes the Sarlacc pit at #1. Whoo. (Our Google referrals are sure to get even weirder now.)

Meanwhile, for the folks not in the mood to oogle or wince, take a gander at Deputydog’s ten stunning ultra-geeky home cinemas. While many of the home theaters profiled are familiar, there’s plenty of brand-new ones to discover (or rediscover.)

T-shirts for the fans, by the fans?

So far, we’ve only heard of one case where LFL came down on someone making unlicensed t-shirts. And there have a been a lot of them… But is DustinCropsBoy.com walking too close to the line?

Of course, most of the fans don’t care. And if they can come up with some shirts that are more Threadless than Wal*Mart, even I might be swayed. (The current selection is less than encouraging, but it’s early.) But for now? I’ve spent too much time wrangling fanfic to be anything but wary of this sort of thing.

Marc Ecko gets more press

This time it’s the New York Times, checking out his new store in Chelsea. A brief paragraph addresses the Star Wars line:

He is also obsessed with “Star Wars” and somehow wrangled a licensing deal with the franchise. A white T-shirt has a storm trooper head rendered beautifully in little appliquéd crystals, while a likeness of Yoda in green dots on a brown T-shirt looks warty and nauseating. Mr. Ecko lovingly explains his fetish in a long paragraph printed on the back inside collar: “It’s no secret I am a fan of all things Star Wars,” it reads. “Just when I am getting pop culture fatigue, I watch Star Wars.”

In other merchandise news, StarWars.com features another line of t-shirts and a new Sideshow farmboy Luke.
