Noooooooooooo!
Seen on digg.com :
If rumors are to be believed the new Star Wars : Revenge of the Sith DVD contains a hidden Easter egg of Yoda getting funky to “The Roots – Don’t Say Nuthin“. (Lyrics)
The Easter egg, if real, has leaked onto the internet and can be found :
Here and Here
I still haven’t gone out to buy this DVD and I’m not sure if this is a motivator. (Although Episode III was definately better than The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars as a whole.)
Mosquito
Mosquito is a fan based (Browncoat) parody of Firefly. I personally cannot vouch if it is any good as they have exceeded their download limit until sometime Wednesday. But apparently it is supposed to be.
Here is a link to the Mosquito site :

And Here is a link to an interview with Mosquito’s creator :

Serenity
It’s a great movie. If you are a fan of the Firefly series you have probably already seen it. If you haven’t seen the movie, do yourself a favor and go. It’s just like the last couple of star wars movies except it is actually good, and has no aliens or jedi.
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Wow.
I thought this movie was going to be good, I was wrong, it’s great! Johnny Depp made an awesome Willy Wonka. Tim Burton’s touch was all over this movie so it was a tad darker than the original movie but it’s also allegedly more faithful to the book than the original movie. It had several laugh out loud moments. All in all a very high thumbs up!
My rec is to go see it if you haven’t already!
Revenge of the Sith
It gets a Thumbs up!
I think it is the best of Star Wars first three episodes. I won’t say more for fear of giving anything away. What the heck, I’ll give away the ending :
Anakin Skywalker = Darth Vader
Napoleon Dynamite
See the movie, which is great and has no sex or foul language. Then take the quiz, here are my results :
You are Tater Tots. Go get your own!!
Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?

To Hell and Back
If you haven’t seen the movie Constantine, I highly recommend it. After being let down by several comic based movies recently, it was nice to see one that proved to be fun and have a plot. It was something that I haven’t quite gotten since the Spiderman movies … mind you it is not as good as Spiderman but still worth seeing in the theaters.
Without giving out the plot too much, think of it as Sam Spade goes to hell and back. And not once in the movie did I expect a Keanu “Whoa” …
Constantine get a Thumbs up!
National Treasure
I had the opportunity to go see “National Treasure” this afternoon. It was pretty good and better than I expected. It was not quite “Pirates of the Carribean” good, though but entertaining nonetheless. It was good to see Nicholas Cage do a good job as the intrepid treasure hunter. Justin Bartha makes for a really good sidekick. And Diane Kruger makes a really good “the girl to be gotten”.
The Good : A lot of fun overall. Justin Bartha’s comic relief.
The Bad : A couple of potential plot holes but these can be easily overcome if you decide going into the movie to suspend disbelief.
This movie gets a thumbs up.
Once you’ve seen the movie its kinda neat to actually see these search results.
I’ve been Saved!
Well it was a cold, drizzly, and dreary day in Dallas. It was a good day to sit around do not much of anything. So not much of anything managed eat up a good chunk of the day.
Of course you probably want to hear about something a little more exciting than my extensive use of Tivo and the Comedy Central “Top 100 Stand-Up Comics” countdown. So … I did happen to have a chance last night to finally watch “Saved!” which was pretty funny. Jena Malone did a really good job and Macaulay Culkin proved yet again that he’s more than just the kid from the “Home Alone” movies. The movie was not nearly as blasphemous as the theatrical trailer would lead you to believe. The storyline was sound and although, at times, it was definitely in “caricature mode”, the movie does make some very good points. It gets a thumbs up from me with a “your conservative Great Aunt Judith wouldn’t approve” rider.
Also, while it still fresh in my mind, I must say that “Bad Santa” is a downer. At times it can be funny … but it coupled with Friday’s “Joan of Arcadia” episode (great show, btw) did not make for a very feel good night.
