Something funny from our message board’s discussion of Star Wars: Well now there’s a hitch in my plans… May ’05 was the expiration date for the card Sherry used to buy my ticket (online) — she ordered the tickets on April 28th. When I took the new card (different number) to the box office earlier…
I’m so mad at George Lucas
No, this isn’t a movie review. I won’t see Star Wars Episode III until tomorrow. I’m just bugged by George Lucas’ injecting blatant politics into the last Star Wars movie. And since I try to confine my political opinions to other outlets, I haven’t really been talking about it here. I know, some of you…
Golden Throats now with pictures
Thanks to Aaron Williams for pointing me to this hilarious Lucy in the Sky with Shatner music video.
Wallace and Gromit Movie Trailer debuts!
Moviefone: ‘Wallace & Gromit’ Movie Exclusives Watch out for that AOL Player option. Long experience tells me that installing the player would add five shortcuts to “sign up for 21000 hours free” and set my browser’s home page to AOL, etc.
Darth W. Vader photoshop contest
Patrick Ruffini’s response to George Lucas’ recent pronouncements about political meaning in Sith is to start a contest. I hope to stick with this as contest entries come in. But I love his entry: Darth Vader’s metal suit covered in magnetic stickers.

Over on Dixonverse, comic creator Chris Franklin points out: His manic performance gave dimension to a…
Good thing I pointed you to that story Monday!
In today’s strip, PvP references Francis Ottoman’s robot double.
Stolen Comic Book Art alert!
The art listed below has been reported stolen by Mark F. McDermott in NYC over the May 6-7, 2005 weekend. Mark’s notes have been pieced together for easier reading. I (Mark F. McDermott) have filed a police report and checked with local (comic show) host and founds and have yet to track the portfolio down….
Ev’yboddy reply!
All right, all you lurkers and visitors, this is a general call. Who’s still here now that the site’s back? I know the site gets tons of visits because I’m always getting e-mails from different people, and more and more people hear of us all the time…but I eschew counters. Counters are almost meaningless on…
More Star Wars reviews
Jason Apuzzo, one of the heads of the Liberty Film Festival and a devotee of George Lucas, reviews Episode III with minor-to-middling spoilers. He largely addresses the faux-controversy about Lucas making remarks about Bush and the Iraq War as represented in this movie, and puts that into perspective. I don’t really agree with Apuzzo’s take…
