Kettched in the Act by DarthFar. I doubt the piece as a whole is really a spoiler to anyone here, but you’ll have click through twice to see the whole thing.
Mo’ sequels, mo’ problems
Quit your whining: Spiderman 3 trailer is live.

Playing catch-up
Well, first I was sick, and then there was this big election thing, and between the two I ended up sleeping when I should have been combing the internet. Here’s what we missed:
- Cinemax marathon starts tomorrow night! Speaking of, there’s an ad in Entertainment Weekly I saw an ad in last week’s, but the sound chip is news to me…
- Send Helen your NEGAS photos!
- Homemade Star Wars boxers! Simple but cute.
- One of the elves from the Big Lot’s spokes-elf commercials/competition has a Star Wars connection.
- TFN has a coupon code for Skywalker Ranch Merlot.
- There’s a new VIP blogger. She’s playing a queen on a Rose Bowl float.
- No Starwars.com update tomorrow.
- And lastly, Vader and Yoda ‘bond’ over an iPod Shuffle.
LOTF #7 has a title…
Announced rather coyly by Sue Rostoni, the title of Aaron’s last LOTF book is… Fury.
Naturally, folks are already assuming it’s about Luke. Because they’re totally killing off Mara this time, right?
The neverending development of Indy IV
Frank Darabont says George Lucas nixed his script:
[Spielberg] was ecstatic with the result and was ready to shoot it two years ago. He was very, very happy with the script and said it was the best draft of anything since Raiders of the Lost Ark. That’s really high praise and gave me a real sense of accomplishment, especially when you love the material you’re working on as much as I love the Indiana Jones films.
And then you have George Lucas read it and say, ‘Yeah, I don’t think so, I don’t like it.’ And then he resets it to zero when Spielberg is ready to shoot it that coming year, [which] is a real kick to the nuts. You can only waste so much time and so many years of your life on experiences like that, you can only get so emotionally invested and have the rug pulled out from under you before you say enough of that.
You! Out of my fandom!
I’m just going to agree with Bonnie: Worst Star Wars Themed Political Ad Ever.
