Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars...
Well shuck my corn and kiss my grits, it looks like Episode III might be the real thing.
Taking a vacation day from the Day Job today. Gonna take a break from working on the strip and the site to pick up Friday night tickets for me and my Nephew.
A word or two about merchandising for these flicks.
1) Am I the only one who thinks Chewbacca shouldn't be endorsing any kind of food product? It's like if I buy a box of Corn Flakes with Chewbacca on it, I halfway expect to find thick strands of foot-long yak hair in my cereal bowl.
2) Why is M&M/Mars printing pictures of Harrison Ford and Mark Hamil that are 28 years old on their promotional pacakging? I mean, just how old are those M&Ms they're selling?

81% rating. A whopping single percent higher than Jedi. No thanks. I'll see it when my roommate buys the DVD.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics. It may be 81% to 80%, but if you note the Average Rating, Sith currently holds 7.5 with 53 reviews counted, whereas Jedi has a 6.7 with 40 reviews counted.
Besides, you wait for the DVD on everything only because you're tight. :P
Even the positive reviews I've read rip on the bad dialogue and poor acting from everyone with the exception of McDiarmid. Check out Ebert's review. Bad acting, check. Bad dialogue, check. Light sabre fights lacking the thrill they once had, check. Better effects = 3.5 stars?! WTF?! Besides after being burned by Send in the Clones and Phantom Menace and the lack of the original trilogy on DVD I refuse to give Lucas anymore of my money. I'm glad he wasn't able to do what he wanted to do in the 70s.
NERD FIGHT!!!!

Analyze this sentence and what it says about the speaker...
That I will watch it eventually after someone else has bought it so when it disappoints no loss of my money was incurred?
That there are some movies I don't watch in the theater but do choose to do so at home?
That I have a roommate that buys every DVD in a series regardless of how he feels about the film because he's a completist?
That I am single and available?
Regarding the Star Wars packing on the M&Ms. Would you prefer the haggard, grizzled, weather-beaten face of the present day Harrison Ford?
Hands down, that was one of the top 10 Photoshop jobs I have ever seen.
"C'mere Jimmy, and chew these M&M's up for grandpa so's he can swallow 'em!"
You know what that pshop makes me think of? What if Harrison Ford's career never took off and he had to milk the Han Solo thing for the nexy 30 years. He seems happy in the pic, but you know he's dead inside.
Yes, he is dead inside. He's been that way since ElMacho's stopped going to see his films.
Poor Harrison.
What kills me is so many people can look at elJefe's photoshop job and say that they can't wait for Indiana Jones 4!
He's elderly! Elderly!
'Indiana Jones and the Incontinent Bladder'?
