As mentioned in my post concerning Dragon*Con ’05, I saw two of the actors from Battlestar Galactica over the weekend: Tricia Helfer and Richard Hatch (not from Survivor). I refuse to link to his website because it belongs on webpagesthatsuck.com. If you must see it, go to http://www.richardhatch.com/ but don’t if you’re on dialup. You …

Harry Potter: Yahhhh!!!!
This is taken from my Recent Readings page (which reminds me I want to put a link to it on my blogroll) in exactitude. I want people to be able to reply to it… Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J. K. Rowling. SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ if you do not want to have …
Harry Potter: "I Want MORE!"
Alas, the sixth book is out, read, and leaves us dying for more. From things mentioned on J. K. Rowling’s website (I prefer the text-only version), it seems that she will not start working on the seventh book until next year. I guess we’ll all have to just wait, then. Until then, however, we can …
"I've been made by the Presbyterian Church"
http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west.html This link contains one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the internet in years. It contains some commentary from excerpts from a pirated Chinese copy of Revenge of the Sith (a.k.a. The Backstroke of the West), with english subtitles. Check it out.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
What can I say about Mr. and Mrs. Smith? This movie was exactly what I expected, alas. A mite bit disappointing, but it did not lack in eye candy.
LOST
Jenn and I watched the pilot for Lost (ABC) last night (again) and noticed that, after the monster? made it’s night-time, rip-up-trees-while-making-noise appearance, the black lady a.k.a. Lt. Uhura said something to the effect of, “Reminds me of something from home, in the Bronx.” Hmmmm… Subway? Steam power?

Revenge of the Sith: After The Fact take II
SPOILERS! We went to see Revenge of the Sith again last night. ‘Twas just as good action-wise last night as it was the first time, although I found myself daydreaming during any scene with Annakin talking to Padme (except for the end). I’m still a bit disappointed by the beginning battle scene. It had the …

Order 66
I wonder how long it will take before the term “Order 66” becomes a pop-culture staple? Perhaps it will be relegated entirely to the more geekified sect of persons who are willing to sit out in front of a theater for hours waiting for a Star Wars film to debut. I’ve been trying to come …
Revenge of the Sith: After The Fact
We saw it! The crowd who gathered at the theater in Kennesaw was much rowdier than the one we’d particpated with in Lubbock for Attack of the Clones. A lot of people were in costume. The majority dressed as Jedi. (I’ve got nothing against women role-players, but seeing a Darth Vader with boobs prominently on …
