Very lonely nerds

Star Wars jokes on Family Guy get run by Lucasfilm:

Regarding any legal issues with the extremely frequent Star Wars jokes Family Guy is known for, McFarlane explained, “Lucasfilm has actually gotten on board. It’s getting to the point where we’ll send these Star Wars jokes of the week to Lucasfilm.”

I’m not a huge Family Guy fan, but the entire article is actually quite interesting. The Star Wars stuff is on the last page.

Our Other Master (Whedon) Speaks!

Empire Magazine is so much like us. They appreciate the great entertainment we do; most recently, Serenity.

They recently scored an exclusive interview with our other master: Joss Whedon; creator of Buffy (and Spike), Angel and Firefly.

In short:
1. Serenity didn’t set the box office ablaze. He’ll never rule it out, but it doesn’t look likely we’ll see another film in the series.
2. Wonder Woman is still in progress. He’s unsure whether his new horror film “Goners” will come out, first.
3. The rumored Spike film is still a possibility; if he can get some financing together. (Anyone up for a giant bake sale?)

‘Braveheart’ style? Oh dear…

Kristen Bell talks about Veronica Mars with AOL. Mentions Fanboys:

It’s kind of like ‘Swingers’ for nerds because it’s about these four awesome guys who are ‘Star Wars’-obsessed and they drive cross-country to break into [George] Lucas’ ranch to steal the final episode. It’s so funny. There’s a scene where there’s a full-on war between Trekkies and the ‘Star Wars’ kids, ‘Braveheart’ style. I’ll be shooting on the weekends for six weeks. It’s going to be a big workload, but I wasn’t willing to turn the part down because it was such a great script.
