I saw Star Wars The Clone War opening week and overall I enjoyed the movie, but I’ll make my thoughts known in a post later in the next seven days. It needs being said that what I did not like enjoy about the movie is far easier to articulate and is much more interesting. What …

Found my cards!
I’d meant to do a Wizard World Chicago wrap-up, but I just couldn’t find my business cards. I’d collected cards, fliers, handouts and freebies, all with the intention of posting a links-and-pictures heavy post… but having misplaced the cards I put it off. Now that I found these, it’s time for a belated Wizard World …

The age of anything’s possible
I was looking over the “If Celebrities Moved To Oklahoma” pictures and realized: Photoshop is so good that I could swear these were real pictures. Of course, with the fauxtography scandals of recent years where news organizations are running pictures with extra smoke, extra missiles, etc., I guess I knew that. Still… these would be …

Those Three Kings of America Are….
Military historian Victor Davis Hanson was watching Three Kings (starring George Clooney) recently. Three Kings, by my reckoning was made in the nineties, but more relevantly the movie was made before the 9/11 terrorist attacks and reflects a different ethos that popular culture had towards Iraq and our country’s prior invasion and occupation. Nowadays the …

The Truth Product does a very rough overview of John McCain’s time in, around, and for the Vietnam conflict. My favorite part is the encounter of Bud Day. McCain shared a cell with Medal of Honor winner Col. Bud Day, a man who escaped the Viet Cong with a sprang knee, lived in the jungle …

warping space for travel may be possible
Warp drive in Star Trek essentially works by harnessing massive amounts of energy through matter/anti-matter reactions regulated by Dilithium crystals and using that energy to create a “warp bubble” around the starship allowing the vessel’s mass to remain constant or even decrease instead of decrease allowing the ship to travel as superluminal speeds without the …

Isaac Hayes dies
Most know Isaac Hayes as a singer, or as the creator of the Shaft theme. Probably slightly more will know him as Chef until Scientology finally invaded the humor centers of his mind. I recall him from Truck Turner and as a fan of and character in Stargate SG-1. Issac Hayes died yesterday, quite young, …

Bernie Mac passed away
Bernie Mac, the least annoying actor in Transformers and Charlie’s Angels, and more importantly, and on a serious note, the actor and stand-up comedian who starred in Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 13, and in his own television sitcom, passed away August 9th from complications of pneumonia. My father passed away from similar illness. My proper obituary …

Professor Snape visits the Napa Valley
I hadn’t heard a thing about this movie, and yet it looks great and is already playing in a few markets!

The Rain In Spain…
I’m not the only one who finds Christian Bale’s Batman voice a bit less-than-perfect.

Triumph at Comic Con
No, not the loser character from Zero Hour. Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog rips on the sweaty virgin nerds at Comic Con. Including PvP’s Scott Kurtz. Conan O’Brien also has the full speech as a web exclusive.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is free online again
I missed it the first time. I did not get to see it. The original plan was for it to be sold on iTunes and then DVD after being removed from its three-day run on the original website. Hulu.com is hosting the sing-along blog, and I believe this is legal. I cannot watch it now. …
