I like Bill Hader a lot–he’s one of the strongest young cast members on Saturday Night Live, especially his impersonation of Peter O’Toole.

I like him even more now that I know he’s a big Star Wars nerd.

In our impending debut episode of The Alert Nerd Podcast, Sarah confesses that she’s on the fence about attending Comic-Con this year.

Maybe this will cinch it for her: Star Trek XI casting announcements!

Robert Orci, screenwriter of the upcoming live-action Transformers movie, told IGN that his next project Star Trek is scheduled to go into production in November.

“It shoots in November,” Orci said during an exclusive interview with IGN. “We’re in preproduction right now and just started. We’re casting and hoping to have somebody by Comicon — we’ll find out. The script is written, and [it comes out] Christmas ’08.”

mc chris, of Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Sealab 2021/mc chris fame, has covered Dare To Be Stupid. Why did no one think to do this sooner? Actually, it’s probably because the original was pretty much perfect and mc’s particular vocals and the super-faithful instrumental are the only real way to go.

Hit mc’s MySpace and you can download it off the player (for now) – otherwise, grab it from here.
