Every Episode of Star Wars, Ranked

Someone has done a lovely deep dive and put up a story with Every Episode of Star Wars, Ranked. Hard to disagree here.

We get answers to questions about what Darth Vader was like as a teenager. What drove him to the dark side? How did he cope with the loss of his mother? How does he feel about the texture of sand?

Awesome Trailers From Comic-Con 2015

Lots of amazing posts lately. Lets go!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Deadpool’s trailer leaked. It’s horrible quality, and may be deleted soon, but it’s still awesome.

Fear the Walking Dead has got an official trailer. My wife hates zombie shows, so this one I’ll be watching alone.

Last, but definitely not least comes a long trailer for Batman vs Superman, possibly the most awesome one yet. I don’t care what you naysayers say, Battfleck looks great and this looks like a great follow up to the previous (and not that well received) superman movie.

Original Star Wars Script Found, Solves Long-Running Mystery | TIME

Original Star Wars Script Found, Solves Long-Running Mystery, but it wasn’t ever really a mystery was it?

… one of the most interesting revelations resolves the case of the shoot-out at the cantina. In the original, Solo fires at Greedo without warning. The 1997 version of the film altered the scene to make it look like Solo was acting in self-defense. It was a move that enraged fans (though not as much as the introduction of Jar Jar Binks). But librarian Kristian Brown, who discovered the script, told CBC, “Based on the script, I can tell you 100%, Han shot first.”

…. was it….

Super Troopers 2 On Indiegogo

Super Troopers 2 is going the crowd funding route:

Several moons ago, we made a little indie movie called Super Troopers, which we debuted at Sundance in 2001. We’re proud of how it turned out and apparently it struck a chord with many of you out there because almost daily we get asked “Who wants a mustache ride?” (“Who doesn’t?”) or “Did you chug real maple syrup?” (“Yes, and we will never, ever, ever do it again.”) or “How is the view from sugar heaven?” (“Sweet.”)

This is awesome, contribute now. Super Troopers was awesome, I can’t wait for Super Troopers 2!

Mission: Impossible 5 Trailer and Commentary

First of all, the new Mission Impossible trailer:

Next you’ll notice the plane scene at the end of the trailer, and you think to yourself, wow, that’s a cool effect, of course there’s no way they’d let a big star like Tom Cruise actually do that in real life, right? Well…. he said that the Plane Scene was ‘The Most Dangerous Thing I’ve Ever Done’:

The scene in question, which can be seen at the end of the brand new trailer, sees his character Ethan Hunt strapped to the side of an Airbus A400M plane as it takes off.. and Cruise was doing it for real.

You can’t help but respect the man.

Theory of Everything Trailer

Great trailer for The Theory of Everything, a biopic about Stephen Hawking’s young days.

Some of this trailer seems to sell a pretty typical biopic. But the team of James Marsh and these two leads inspires a lot of confidence, and it is almost impossible to fail to be moved by Hawking’s story. The love celebrated here, however, wasn’t as eternal as the trailer would like us to think, and it’s that selective vision that makes it feel perhaps too optimistic. Because the film is based on Jane Hawking’s memoir, I’m curious to see how far the film really goes.

Looks pretty amazing.

Kevin Smith's New Movie: TUSK - Official Trailer

So finally a trailer for Kevin Smith’s new movie, TUSK, has hit YouTube. Here it is.

If you have no clue what is going on, this is a horror movie that came about on Smodcast Episode 259, where he and his podcasting co-host discuss weird stuff, and in it was a Craigslist post of a guy offering free room and board in exchange for spending one hour a day dressed, and acting like a Walrus. Smith and Mosier joked about it and came up with the back story in the podcast. At the end he asked twitter followers to tweet either #WalrusYes or #WalrusNo to see if there was enough interest.

I can’t wait for this movie.

I think that Mr. Cumberbatch can do justice to this role however.

'Walter Mitty' Promo Spends $25,000 on Philippines Disaster Relief

Nice story about how $25k that should have been the marketing campaign for ‘Walter Mitty’ was spent on on Philippines Disaster Relief

He explains how he received an email from Fox, inviting him to take part in a promotional campaign inspired by Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. “Dear Casey, Fox is releasing a new movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. We want to run a campaign under the concept, ‘Live Your Dreams,’ “ Neistat said to the camera. “The collective theme behind this initiative is to motivate, inspire and give people a catalyst to do something they’ve never done. We’d like to know if you’d be interested in creating a video about living your dreams.” He responded: “Here’s my concept. Give me a budget, I’ll go to the Philippines and spend every penny helping people in need.”

Of course, the more cynical among us would be the sort to say that this is still getting them PR for the movie (which is great by the way, I really enjoyed it, it’s about the most un-Ben Stiller-ish movie of his I’ve seen).

Starship Troopers: One of the Most Misunderstood Movies Ever - Calum

Starship Troopers: One of the Most Misunderstood Movies Ever in The Atlantic. I’m so glad that one of my favorite movies is finally being seen as something other than a vapid and silly version of the original (awesome, hardcore) book.

But those critics had missed the point. Starship Troopers is satire, a ruthlessly funny and keenly self-aware sendup of right-wing militarism. The fact that it was and continues to be taken at face value speaks to the very vapidity the movie skewers.

Weta’s FX reel shows why working on The Hobbit made Ian McKellen cry. Not because it’s so good and amazing (it is) but for making him act with a bunch of light stands.

The Cabin in the Woods Explained -- It's a Giant Metaphor

It’s an old movie (kinda), but I just came across this post of The Cabin in the Woods Explained — It’s a Giant Metaphor which really blew my mind. Note, the review is full of spoilers. Take my word and go watch the movie first, then go and read the review :)

Watching this movie is a life-changing experience. Not only is it entertaining, but it explains every other movie. Any time you ever noticed an inconsistency or witnessed a character making a stupid decision and thought “why on earth would they split up?” you now know the explanation. This movie fixes every problem in every film.

Definitely going to re-watch this over the weekend.

Alternate Opening For 'The Avengers'

Geeks of Doom has a video of an Alternate Opening For ‘The Avengers’

The alternate intro debuted on Yahoo, and it shows New York City having just survived Loki’s attack. The intro almost mirrors the aftermath of 9/11, with glimpses of police officers and soldiers helping the injured. The only superheroes that make it into this alternate cut are Hulk, who only gets a quick glimpse, and Captain America, who is appears in the corner of the clip. But that’s what I like most about this clip, is that the real heroes are out there doing the best to protect us from any threat and they will not stand down. It also shows that superheroes can be just as vulnerable as humans.

From there it is escaping the mob, trying to survive, and figuring out how to make a profit from all of this.

Movie Review: Snow White and The Huntsman

Movie Review: Snow White and The Huntsman via Geeks of Doom.

Let’s call this movie what it really is: Bella and Thor’s Magical Middle-Earth Adventure. It’s not an altogether unworthy effort though, there are some fantastic visual effects and a terrific performance by Theron that make this movie worth watching. Overall Snow White and the Huntsmen is a much better revisionist fairytale than Mirror, Mirror (that other Snow White movie), Red Riding Hood, or Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

I’m not sure if that’s convincing enough for me to shell out $11 for a ticket and $15 for pop and popcorn though.

Trailer For The Cyberpunk Short Film 'Reboot'

Check Out The Trailer For The Cyberpunk Short Film ‘Reboot’ via Geeks of Doom.

Set within a dystopian world that is a collision between technology and humanity, “Reboot” touches upon many of the current social and political concerns that arise from becoming more and more intertwined with the virtual. In contemporary Los Angeles, a young female hacker (Stat) awakens from unconsciousness to find an iPhone glued to her hand and a mysterious countdown ticking away on the display. Suffering from head trauma, and with little recollection of who she is or what is happening, Stat races against time to figure out what the code means, and what unknown event the pending zero-hour will bring.

It’s a short film, and I could probably freeze frame and analyse the “comptuer code” and pick out how it’s completely wrong to have a dir command on a macbook which as you know is a unix based operating system, but hey, I’m a sucker for anything cyberpunk :)

The film’s website is here.

"Jersey Shore Shark Attack" Trailer

I have no words.

Yeah it’s another low-rent Jaws rip-off, only this time the makers of the movie mashed that hoary concept up with a rip on the unfathomably popular MTV show Jersey Shore. But in the world of Jersey Shore Shark Attack the very vacuous muscleheads and party gals we supposed intellectual superiors take great pleasure in mocking whenever their names are mentioned - or at least their SyFy counterparts - are all that can save many Garden State vacationers from becoming gory bits of chunkhead chum. Plus their version of Snooki is way hotter than the real thing. That alone might make this movie worth a single watch.

Rogue Synapse Unleashes 'The Last Starfighter' PC Game For Free

I know the damn kids out there won’t care, but the fact that Rogue Synapse Released ‘The Last Starfighter’ PC Game For Free Download made my day. I still love the movie even though the special effects haven’t held up at all over the years. I still wish I could join the Starfighters…

The plot of The Last Starfighter revolved around a space-set first-person shooter arcade game used to recruit warriors from all over the galaxy for a real interstellar war. The graphics for Rogue Synapse’s Starfighter back in 2006 are based on those of the film’s and the game’s creators have even gone to great lengths to replicate the feel of an authentic 1980s arcade game, right down to the fonts. An 8-bit version of the film’s main title theme composed by Craig Safan and actual Starfighter game audio from the film enhance this amazing retro experience.

You can download the game for free here.

Star Wars Saga Returns to Theatres in 3D

When the original trilogy was re-released in the late 90's with updated graphics I resented the old farts saying "I already saw them when they were first released", but now after seeing that the Star Wars saga will return to theatres in 3D in 2012, I'm feeling the same way.

"There are few movies that lend themselves more perfectly to 3D; from the Death Star trench run to the Tatooine Podrace, the Star Wars Saga has always delivered an entertainment experience that is completely immersive," the studio said in a statement issued Tuesday evening.

First of all, 3D up-conversions suck, I thought we figured out with The Last Airbender and Clash of the Titans that slapping 3D on after was a Bad Idea. Secondly, doesn't Lucas have enough money yet? This'll be the 3rd or 10th re-re-re-re-re-release of the movies. I mean, come on... Question is will I end up having to go see it if for nothing more than to see Star Wars on the big screen one last time.

Netflix Canada Review on iPhone 4

Netflix has finally launched in Canada, and the iPhone in Canada guys have a review.

Personally I'm more interested in the streaming capabilities to the PS3 (seem to be there) and an increased selection (right now the .ca selection is pretty limited). With the new TV season upon us, having all the new shows available in HD, streaming instantly for a mere $7.99 a month (well worth the torrent searching and hard drive space my current methods use) is a big appeal. Sadly right now none of the good new TV shows (or hell, old TV shows) are available up here in the great white north :(

At least, if the rumors from the Globe and Mail are true and that Netflix will cross border to Canada this year. If so it'll be down to iTunes music not being the same, stupid Daily Show and Colbert links not working and the stupid site not redirecting you to the proper video on the Canadian site, Hulu, and others....

The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. Never have teenagers been in greater need of a jump-start. Granted some of them are more than 100 years old, but still: their charisma is by Madame Tussaud.

Kick-Ass : Teaser Trailer

I feel bad for not posting this yet. The comic "Kick-Ass" sucked me right in, and I'm not a comic guy at all, so I'm really excited to see that the Kick-Ass Teaser Trailer looks like it'll live up to the source material, and by all accounts, the movie doesn't compromise on the violence, swearing, and bloodshed. Also check out the movie poster.

Star Wars Uncut Completed

Remember the Star Wars Uncut project, where people claimed 15 seconds of Episode IV to re-shoot? Well, slashdot says that the trailer is now complete. There are still a lot of scenes left, but it's still a very cool project and it's nice to see progress being made.

My only complaint from the trailer is that some people seemed to do it with way more seriousness / campyness than others. I'd rather see less animation and stop motion and more poeple "trying" instead of being stupid (the 'aren't you a little short for a storm trooper' scene in particular). Still, it's a varied showing of talent, which is exactly what was required!

Critics Don't Get To See G.I. Joe

According to Yahoo Paramount won't show critics `G.I. Joe' which people seem to be reading in to mean that it sucks.


"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn't screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand. Only a select few writers from blogs and movie Web sites have seen it for review -- such as Harry Knowles, the self-professed "Head Geek" from Ain't It Cool News -- and their opinions have been mostly positive.

The thing is of course, anyone who has seen the trailer knows it's going to be an atrociously bad movie, I mean come on, look at it!

That said, I'm still going to see it Friday or Saturday :)

Mia Wasikowska (say that 10 times fast), who I've never seen in anything, looks great as Alice, and the rest of the environment and it's 3D computer generated goodness looks good, as expected, as well.

Disney Remaking Flight of the Navigator

Saw on /Film that Disney is going to Remake Flight of the Navigator. Dear Disney, why why why must you destroy all of my fond childhood memories? What was wrong with the movie anyway? A few cheese effects for the spaceship flying, and the puppetry for the aliens was a bit lacking, but really, is casting the Olsen twins and making everything CGI (or whatever they do when they remake it and turn it into an abomination) going to make it better? I think not. Glad I have a .avi copy for my personal archives of "good old movies".

As mentioned before Greek religion has their twelve Gods of Olympus that coincide with the mythology of the Romans, Egyptians, and Norse people. Then there is also the “Chariots of the Gods“ written by Erich von D�niken which talks about there being twelve planets which are governed by twelve gods. Last but not least there are twelve Cylon models of which 11 we know about and one that is not known to at all.

Way too much driving, not enough KITT, way too many commercials, not every car on the road is a ford and Hasslehoff wasn't wearing a "Don't Hassle the Hoff" shirt were among my complaints. I can only pray that the upcoming series is better.... (assuming it appears at some point of course).

Dark Tower Movie??!?!

OMG. Sounds like JJ Abrams (of Lost fame) will be doing a Dark Tower movie, which Stephen King confirms.

I'm torn about this. I consider the Dark Tower King's best work, and up there in my favorite books of all time (it's a series I literally have been reading since high school). However, movies from books don't translate well, case in point, Bourne Identity (a fine movie, but incrediably cut down from the original book), 99% of Stephen King's other movies, and a host of others. See my previous comments on this.

The only way to do the DT justice is to make it a mini-series, with a minimum 8 hours per-book.

I can only pray that this doesn't destroy my memories of this series :)

Blade Runner Still Holds Up

Adam Savage (of mythbusters fame) argues why Blade Runner still holds up special effects wise. I have to agree, there is definately something to be said for a movie that doesn't use all CG and green screens, sadly too many movies these says have horrible acting (*cough*ep1/2/3*cough*) due in part to (IMHO) the fact they are acting against nothing but massive green sets. Back in the day (Blade Runner for example) they had actual sets and props and you can tell (IMHO).

Sadly while I love the idea of Blade Runner, it really ends up being a favorite movie to not watch. Last time I watched it I found it almost..... boring, even though it wasn't, even though I know it's a great movie.

Movies - Posted by Arcterex at 01:02 PM
Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer Review

I had the pleasure of seeing Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer with Firefly and Dana (of the very famous security blog </plug> :)

Read below for my take on it.... may be minor spoilers in there (though I'm sure you can pretty much guess most of it anyway :)

First of all I was happy for Oneiros that Galactus was not represented by a guy in a robe. The trailer has a scene that indicates that the Surfer is talking to a hooded, robed guy who you assume is Galactus, but lucky for the comic book purists he's represented in a far bigger way.

The movie picks up a few months or years after the first movie, with the FF dealing with the ups and down of being superstars. They are drawn from their "normal" superhero lifestyle when a mysterious force in the form of the Silver Surfer appears, and they discover that the surfer precedes the complete destruction of any world that he visits.

Fun ensues.

The movie was fun, and in my opinion worth the $8 to see it in the theaters. There's definitely something about certain movies that, for me anyway, makes it worth going to the theater for the 'big screen' experience (of course, these days that involves over priced popcorn, 20 minutes of ads before the previews even start, people kicking the back of your chair, checking their cell phones, and spilling their drinks on your feet... not that I'm bitter!).

The special effects are great of course, and the characters are not bad. I still find Jessica Alba wooden and while incredibly attractive, somehow not sexy at all. She really tries hard to act in the wedding scene, but really (to me) seems to blend into the background. The Human Torch and The Thing were the main focus in this movie. There was a fairly good mix of comedy and seriousness, with the standard array of predictable characters coming in and out (the stern and unforgiving general, the evil guy who double crosses, etc). The action and storyline are probably very predictable for comic book fans (who know who/what Galactus and the Silver Surfer are and do) and only mostly predictable for most savvy movie goers.

Other than the predictability and wooden performance from a couple of the characters, the only real complaint I have about this movie (for what it is anyway) is there is a chase scene through some mountains with what I think were great special effects, but the chase happened at night, so you couldn't see the great effects!

My recommendation (as I don't have a proper rating system here) is go see it on cheap night at the theater, or go see it on DVD at a friends place with a nice 42" LCD TV and surround sound system ;)

A nice comparison of the "300" movie to comics. I saw this movie last night and can't wait to see it again.... in a word "gorgeous". The look, the colors, the action sequences, the choreography.... just amazing. You could also tell the story was ripped right out of the pages of the comic book (as shown in the link).

Dark Tower Movie in the Works?

Now this is exciting for me.... Forever Geek dug up that JJ Abrams to direct King's Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is a fantastic seven book series from Stephen King that has been on my own internal version of the 10 best movies never made.

It's also scary to me, because unless this is a 30 or 40 hour movie they are never going to capture the book properly. Stephen King's It was an OK attempt to make a movie of one of King's best loved horror stories and it was 192 minutes.... 3.2 hours! Now remember that the dark tower series is a full seven stories of incrediable depth written over a period of over thirty years! So based on that this movie would have to be over 22 hours long :)

Guess we'll see what happens...

Indiana Jones 4 Announced!

W00t! Lucas officially announced that production of Indiana Jones 4 will start in 2007. Finally! I won't believe it until I see it in the theaters though :)

My only worry is that they left it too long and some of the magic will be gone. Well, that and the fact that Harrison Ford is getting a bit long in the tooth compared to the young 'un he was in the original trilogy. I'm also worried that the new IJ will fall victim to the same thing that happened with the new Star Wars movies.... they weren't nearly as good as the old timers remembered the originals being (or thought we remembered them being anyway) and the kids didn't seem to have the history with the original trilogy to make the new trilogy (as) relevant. Course, the new Star Wars trilogy kinda sucked as well, which didn't help. Hopefully we wont' have Indy fighting hoards of computer generated characters (though for some reason I have a feeling we will, case in point a few of the scenes in Curse of the Golden Flower looked like the orc battles from LoTR...).

Terabithia Movie Coming Next Year

I'm not sure how I feel about this (again). Seems that Disney is making a movie of the book Bridge to Terabithia. This was one of my favorite books as a young lad, and actually disturbed me a lot, if anyone remembers how it ended. Can justice be done? I mean they did Narnia last year (not bad) are redoing Transformers (potentially horrible, but we'll see), and Charlotte's Web (trailers look good, but will they come through?) and seem to be on a tear of movies with their origins in the 80s. Maybe this is a case of all the kids of that generation (ie: me) getting old enough to now make movies and are deciding to make their favorite childhood stories.

So yea, there's a trailer, clicky clicky and tell me what you think.

So my buddy Dave has sent this link in various forms to me 3 times now, probably about time I actually posted it. Hopefully this time it won't get taken down again.

The trailer for 300, a movie based on a graphic novel of some sort. This is the first I've heard of it, but it sounds like it's pretty exciting. Something about spartans or something like that. It looks like they got the comic book feel down nicely in the movie, styalistically anyway. I'm not sure about the look though, it's almost like a really well done CGI movie in places, not a live action one. Could be just the flash movie though. Anyway, thanks for the link(s) dude.

Mr Cranky has chimed in as well, offering this nugget at the end of the review:

There are several shocks in this movie. Unfortunately, the appearance of some semblance of acting ability from The Rock is not among them.

I'm still wanting to see it though.... I mean, this is a movie that I've heard about and wanted to see made literally since it was first talked about in the Doom 2 or Quake 1 (or was it even earlier?) days. I'm going in with really low expectations and I know (as I said before) that it'll be bad... and I don't care, it'll be a blast :)

As one commenter in the Shacknews threads comments:
[...] of course, the first person mode which actually looks pretty cool, though I think I'd prefer a few 30 second to 2 minute sequences of it than a single 12 minute section of the movie that I think they're going to do.

New Movie Trailers Funky new movie trailers for a Friday
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - not sure about this, the original had something special, and Gene Wilder was awsomely creepy in it. However, I have been impressed with Johnny Depp in some of his "odd" roles, he can definately jump into a character. I just hope they don't screw with the storyline like they have done with the book already. I want my Oompah-Loompas to be from the right continent!
  • War of the Worlds - Tom Cruise? Not sure about this, I'd love to see an update of this classic, which scared the crap out of me as a kid and was one of my first introductions to sci-fi movies.... I can't forget the scene when the preacher is walking towards the aliens saying his "I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..." speal, then getting vaporized. Creepy man. Just don't make it all about Tom Cruise, this story is about earth being invaded, not about the square jawed handsome dude kicking alien ass. This rings of Hollywood's Lord of the Rings.
  • Last up is the new Batman Begins (new trailer) - looks pretty cool, I'm glad that it doesn't look like it'll totally suck. Looking at how Batman turned into Batman sounds pretty cool though. Do the comics cover this at all?

The movie itself looks very disney-esque, like spy-kids, not the adult version of the kids series, but who knows, it might not suck!

I'm not sure if the fad will last that long, but it might, if the movies don't completely and totally suck. I do notice there's no Daredevil 2 in there.....

Starship Troopers 2 Trailer I found a trailer for this and thought it might be a joke or fake, but a bit of searching found a website with a trailer and everything. Of course, having http://starshiptroopers2.net forward to http://energo-system.cyberdusk.pl/ne/bindex1.html seems a bit odd, but it sounds like it's a direct to video production, so that can be expected. Anticipated release is sometime in the summer of '04.

Transformers Movie Info AICN has some details on the Transformers Movie, which is still in the planning stages.
"The plan with the movie is that it will combine live action with CGI. I think it's going to be something the audience has never seen before. In all the years of movie-making, I don't think the image of a truck transforming into a 20-foot tall robot has ever been captured on screen. I also want to make a film that's a homage to 1980s movies and gets back to the sense of wonder that Hollywood has lost over the years. It will have those Spielberg-ian moments where you have the push-in on the wide-eyed kid and you feel like you're 10 years old even if you're 35. That's the energy I want to go for."

[...]

DeSanto says that the film will be based on Generation One and set on Earth and that he's been rewatching all the cartoons and reading all the comics.

Tomb Raider 2 Review Mr Cranky's review of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is absolutely fantastic, and had my lunch coming through my nose, it'd be funny if it wasn't a PB&J. Please it it in full.
You're trying to tell me that Lara Croft can't easily and efficiently kick the ass of a Nobel Prize winner but she can stop a 1/2 ton shark with one punch? Have you seen any Nobel Prize winners lately? Martial arts and kick-boxing isn't really their thing.

Asterix and Obelix Movie Cool! It's not english, but I was thrown a link to a page with the movie Asterix en Obelix tegen Caesar, a live action Asterix movie (which looks quite old now).

Google for Asterix and Obelix if you're not up with who these guys are.... I used to read the comics when I was a wee one and still have a full stack which I periodically go through. Great art, great stories and characters. It's all centered around a small village in Gaul, the last outpost against the Roman army, helped by a magic potion which gives them incrediable strength. Definately recommended for anyone, even if you have to say you're getting them for your kids (who should enjoy them as well :)

"Willard" Movie I wish that I too could have an army of mice minions to do my bidding. No, seriously, I do, well, I'd rather cat minions, but we all know that that's a joke, with them being our masters and all...

This is the first I've seen of this movie, which appears to be about a guy who "doesn't fit in" (typical) and has the ability to control a large number of mice, which he uses to, well, do his bidding. Hit the trailer I linked to (large) or if you're net-deprived go and choose a different size.

This one doesn't make me want to go see it as much as say, the Daredevil or Matrix trailers, but hey, you never know...

Shaolin Soccer Thanks to Dave for giving me the inside tip on this movie coming soon to a theatre near you. It's called Shaolin Soccer and is, well, just that. There was some fear that the name would be changed to Kung Fu Soccer, as westererns were too stupid to figure out what "shaolin" was.... *sigh*... looks like that's not happening though. If you dig a bit you can even find a trailer! The movie has actually been out for a couple of years already, they are just getting it ready for the N. American audiences.... course, if you know where to find it, you might be able to pick up a full copy already :)

Choose a Clone Army. Choose a fucking big holo-projector, choose sonic showers, land-speeders, and electrical R2-D2 openers. Choose good health, low midichlorians, and blaster insurance. Choose fixed interest moisture farm repayments. Choose a starter smuggling ship. Choose your Jedi. Choose robes and matching sandals. Choose a three-piece body armor on hire purchase in a range of fucking alloys. Choose sitting on that Bantha-hide chair and watching mind-numbing, chain choaking slave girls, stuffing fucking slimy worms into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the belly of the Sarlack, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up aprentices you spawned to kill all your breathren and take over the galaxy.

Or another vesion:

Choose the force. Choose a lightsaber. Choose a career as a Jedi. Choose no family. Choose a fucking big space cruiser. Choose washing droids, speeders, death star plans and blasters ..... Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that cantina watching mind numbing, spirit crushing cantina bands, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last on miserable Tattoine, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up Anakin you trained to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose to defend the Republic..... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

On a side note, tomorrow is free comic book day, a way of getting people interested, or back into, comic books. It seems simple, just go to a participating store (there is a store locator for the US and Canada on the site) and get a comic book. It doesn't sound like you can get *any* comic book, there is what seems to be a list of what you can get (I just finished reading the "Ultimate Spider-man series to June 2002, curtesy of Oneiros, I recommend it).
