Yeah, that seems exactly why no one cared to see Benjamin Button. (Seriously, it’s half the video.)
Video: George Washington
It’s President’s Day here in the U.S., and that means you need to see this internet classic, if you haven’t already. (Note: Some language.)

Video: Ackbar! The Star Wars Talk Show
Star Wars, Jerry Springer style. It’s not the most original concept in the world, but since when has that stopped anyone? And check beneath the cut for an old rerun with a similar concept. Continue reading “Video: Ackbar! The Star Wars Talk Show”
The fandom minute: What man wouldn’t want to smell like Lando?
- Smooth. Lando, the cologne. Because, why not?
- Fanmade: Look, I’m usually all over the My Little Pony mashups, but Mari Kasurinen’s Chewbacca pony scares the living daylights out of me. It wants your soul. Much less terrifying is Boba Fett.
- Lists: Topless Robot has the ten best action figures based on real people. Jorg Sacul is #7. Also, you can’t make a top five space cowboys list without Han Solo.
- Video: Attack of the Clones in 5 seconds. Obvious spoof is obvious, but worth a giggle.
You know things are slow when io9 is searching for meaning in an Adam Sandler movie
Has Star Wars become too ridiculous to satirize, or are Adam Sandler movies just crap? Pretty sure I know where I stand. On the plus side, Hardware Wars!
(At the risk of sounding like a South Park episode, second-rate The Simpsons mocked this exact issue with slightly more finesse a few years back. And bonus, it’s shorter.)
Video: Silent Star Wars and a couple of friends
Blogged this way back, but it’s been making the rounds again and we’ve picked up a few readers since then so this is bound to be new to some. Check under the cut for two more silent-movie takes: Droid Soup and Steamboat Jedi. Continue reading “Video: Silent Star Wars and a couple of friends”
Drive-by movie news: Too much Twilight, Harrison Ford, Batman, WB’s Potter desperation
Not so shiny. Catherine Hardwicke is out of Twilight sequel. (Robert Pattinson’s envy must be at least twice the size of glitter budget.)
Of course, the real interest for many of us is the book’s numerous creepy undertones. And finally, for funny Twilight news, aka the actual reason to bother reporting any of it, check out the puppet version.
- Someone has already gotten high and dreamed this movie. Among Harrison Ford’s upcoming projects is a J.J. Abrams comedy. The actual film sounds way too much like Anchorman to be of interest, but my mind is going to a place where there’s a buddy picture with Spy Daddy instead. Make that happen, J.J.
- Taking it slow on Batman sequel. Christopher Nolan still playing it coy on a third Bat-film, and who can blame him? Let’s just hope we avoid the X3 situation. Of course, who needs a sequel when they can just rerelease the ones they already have?
- WB running out of Harry, considers Beedle. With J.K. Rowling in no hurry to turn out more books to feather their money tree, Warner Brothers is supposedly thinking about adapting Beedle The Bard. Umm…
- The rest of the garbage. Fanboys official site; No Jurassic Park 4; Beauty and the Beast 3-D in the works; Sigourney Weaver and the brewing Ghostbusters sequel?
Video: Five lame things in Star Wars canon
It’s funny because it’s true. Dear George, it’s all true, except I think that whole theory about Boba Fett improving anything got thrown out circa Attack of the Clones.
The lulzing: Twilight in Fifteen Minutes
Cleolinda, whose Twilight-for-the-lulz obsession has fed all our urges to know more about the not-quite-Harry-Potter event of the year, has come through with Twilight in Fifteen Minutes.
Since we’re on the topic, the movie made an estimated $70.5 million opening weekend, and the sequel was promptly greenlit. Poor Robert Pattinson – there’s no escape for him now.
