Great American film, or Greatest American film?
The American Film Institute is revisited their list of the top American movies yesterday. In 1998, Star Wars was #15; this time, it’s moved up to #13! Also making the cut are American Graffiti (#62, up from #77) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (#66, down from #60.) New additions include Fellowship of the Ring (#50) and Blade Runner (#97.) Register on the site to download the list in PDF.
Elsewhere…
- The International Space Station has a familiar silhouette.
- 5.7 million viewers tuned in for Robot Chicken: Star Wars.
- The X-Wing mailbox is pretty neat, but will Rogue Leader fetch your mail? (Thanks, MJS!)
- Australian poll personifies their politicians as Star Wars characters. Next poll: Pulp Fiction.
- The seven deadly sins of kid culture. I’m irrationally amused by the images each being a section off, placing Jar-Jar under ‘princess-ness.’
- Library in suburban Chicago holding Star Wars event.
As far as I’m concerned, a childhood without Robin Hood, Luke Skywalker or Spider-Man seems like hardly a childhood at all.
I have to agree with this statement. Of course, the trick is knowing when.
And that X-Wing mailbox is pretty nifty….
Looking at that X-Wing mailbox, the main thing that runs through my head is a quote from Emkay from the game “X-Wing Alliance”: “Check your mail!”
*Sigh*
I WANT A X-WING MAILBOX! (granted, being Hobbie’s girl, it’d have to be a bit banged up from the crashes…)
No fair. I live in a moble home park with lock boxes for mail, and when we move to my parent’s acerage, no one would be able to see it anyway!
DragonCon parades look cool!http://www.flickr.com/photos/russell_reno/sets/72157594265718794/
