'Fess Up
Sep 14OK, so who here is double-dipping (or, for those of us who were around when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and VHS ruled the home entertainment system, triple or quadruple-dipping) on Star Wars?
Honestly? Probably me.
The customer reviews in that Amazon link are pretty hilarious. Most are of the “Fuck you, Lucas…I still bought it” variety. Also, amongst the user-generated tags, which include “science fiction” and “family movies”: “its a rip off.”

Sep 14Why the Star Wars Expanded Universe is dumb: Boba Fett goes to the doctor!
A new comics blog covers 35 trades in 30 days. With haiku.
Shameless promotion: I have resurrected my other blog, Pop Geek, dedicated to trashy pop culture. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
Hearts for Alana
Sep 13I think I’m actually caught up on all the TV I missed whilst on vacation. Can I just say: What the hell, The 4400?! You take away my TV Girlfriend, Karina Lombard, then bring her back for a few episodes, then have her fucking DISAPPEAR in the season finale! God! Fucking Maia and her predictions.
Listen to me: The 4400 is NO GOOD without Karina Lombard. Look at how pretty she is! Not to say that the other actors aren’t pretty, but Karina Lombard is so preternaturally pretty, it is kind of ridiculous.
Other than that, not a bad wrap-up, but I think this season would have been much stronger if y’all had cast a better actress as superpowered bitch-on-wheels Isabelle. Megalyn Echikunwoke’s rather whiny interpretation robbed the character of the dangerous power she was supposed to possess; she came off like a Paris Hilton/Veruca Salt hybrid when she should have been subtely conveying that she could totally FUCK YOU UP if she wanted to.
BSG Compacted!
Sep 13Here’s the latest BSG webisode in two seconds, for you poor souls who can’t watch it at work:
Duck and Wife of Duck: Awww, yeah, let’s make a BABY.
Chief and Tigh: We’re hiding weapons and shit!
Wife of Duck: Come to church with me!
Duck: No thanks, I like sleep!
And…SCENE.
Vimanarama
Sep 12Dave Campbell of Dave’s Long Box is, of course, a genius…as evidenced by this exceptional post on the Grant Morrison/Phillip Bond miniseries Vimanarama.
Also, I wanted to gloat that I got those three issues plus three more for a BUCK recently. Fifty cents for Morrison greatness! In your FACE.
