Further Sith Reviews And Commentaries
There has been a huge number of blogospheric reviews of Revenge of the Sith written since the film’s release, many of which were straight-forward reviews. Some, however, have stood out from the pack: Citizen Smash reports that RotS made him laugh, and not in a good way; Orson Scott Card called it as good as…

Episode Drei
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith As previously mentioned, I acquired a ticket to attend a screening of Episode III yesterday morning. I had to hoof it out to King of Prussia in order to see it, but my efforts were rewarded with a continental breakfast, coffee, complimentary popcorn and soda, a brief…

Yes, But Does He Have An Effete Wine Conniseur For A Younger Brother?
Word on the street is that Kelsey Grammer has been cast to play Beast in X-Men 3. While I initially reacted in shock, the choice is growing on me.

Traipsing About The Precipice Of Surreality
I certainly hope that Strongbad’s “appearance” on All Things Considered doesn’t signal The Brothers Chaps’ jumping of the proverbial shark. Nahh. TBC have too much material to work with and are providing too good of a product for such fears to come true. Still, it’s definitely weird to hear Homestar Runner’s voice coming over the…

Opportunities Missed
Dang, had I only listened to my wife and moved to Dallas (and decided to have a baby six months earlier, on Mothers’ Day, at Parkland Hospital), we’d be the proud parents of a bouncing baby TiVo unit and a lifetime subscription to TiVo’s service. Oh yeah, and we’d have a baby already, too.

Engineering Humo[u]r
Understanding Engineers – Take One Two engineering students crossing the campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?†The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike.
