Ebert hated Kick-Ass.
Ebert hated Kick-Ass. That disappoints me a little bit, but I can see where he comes from. I still want to see it again. It kicked ass.
Edited to add: But Margaret Pomeranz loved it. HA! I love it when she accuses David Stratton of becoming “this conservative person.”

Sexy Disney Princes
Sexy Disney Princes, drawn in their underwear. Rowr! Yeah, a little disturbing, mostly because the guys in those stories are like sexless Ken dolls. I like that Prince Philip wears boxer briefs.

You should have bargained, Lucas.
Hahaha. I totally agree. The plan to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt never did make much sense. But that discussion made me laugh and laugh…

Kris the Romulan
Neat! Kevin pointed me to this fun Star Trek app that turns a photo of you into a 3D character from the Trek universe. I was going to be the sexy Uhura chick, but she ended up looking a little pig-nosed. Romulan Kris turned out much funnier. At least now I have a vague idea what I’d look like bald! -
New Harry Potter Trailer
New Harry Potter trailer. Holy crap. That looks AWESOME. I found Half-Blood Prince a little boring at times, but that trailer makes it look action-packed. And I LOVE the reworking of “Hedwig’s Theme” at the end, all bombastic with the horns. (Instantly reminded me of Darth Vader, very sinister and menacing.) At least we get it at the same time as everybody else.

Boba Fett Hoodie
Max found this sweet Boba Fett Hoodie… and now I’m totally thinking about knitting one. I could do it.

Star Wars ABCs
Star Wars ABCs. Those are gorgeous. Makes me wish I had a kid I could share them with! (I don’t think the Carbos want me to turn their babies into geeks. Pity.)

Badass Geeks
The 10 Most Badass Geeks in Film/TV. I agree with most of the items on that list, but I have a few quibbles. Was Donnie Darko really a geek? Other than that whole Smurf speech, I can’t think of anything he did that was particularly geeky. I’d probably replace him with Willow from Buffy, especially in her rare evil incarnations. (That also solves the issue of there being NO female representation in the list.) But man, I really hate Anakin Skywalker being in there. I can what they’re getting at, but I feel that the prequels just sucked out any sense of malice Darth Vader had. (Link courtesy of Bex.)
