Best car commercial ever. EVER.



Mucho gracias to friend Joshua for posting this on Facebook.

LEGO Star Wars: Bombad Bounty

Makes me laugh every time I watch it. My boys and I love it. (Make sure you choose the 720 HD version.)

Davis: "That's funny."
Samuel: "Again!" (And again, and again, and again, and again...)

Ben Kenobi: Private Jedeye

Yeah, it's been floating around the Interwebs for a while now, but it's still great.


MC Vader

This is about a dozen kinds of awesome:

Han Solo, P.I.

Love it.


But WAIT! YouTuber TheCBVee provides us with a sequence comparison of Magnum, P.I. and his creation:


This is all doubly awesome since I grew up watching Magnum with my dad. (And mom, too, but she was just watching because of Tom Selleck's hunkiness.) Mucho gracias to mi amigo Stephen for the links via Twitter.

Dallas Wars? Star Dallas?


Love it.

Why did it take me so long to come across <em>this</em>?


Brilliant. [Via Funs Size Bytes.]

This is for Brent

I laughed so hard at some parts I was crying.

To quote Geekdad, where I first saw this: "Sheer brilliance."

Extreme Close-up!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I got in close on the little phisch for some camera shots.

Things you won't see in Star Tours at Disneyworld

As a Star Wars geek, I love one-offs and mashups of Star Wars-related stuff. Ceth Stifel, aka "Thumper-001" on deviantART, inspired by a recent trip to Disneyland and the Disney/Star Wars figurines one can purchase there, has created a unique set of mashup art combining my favorite movie franchise with the Disney characters millions have come to know and love.


Boba Ducks Trophy by *Thumper-001 on deviantART

Donald Duck as Boba Fett, Goofy as Darth Maul, Mickey as Lando Calrissian, as well as a host of other Star Wars characters, Chip and Dale as Wookies. Great, great stuff.

Proud geek dad moment

This past Saturday, the missus and I took the little phisch to see The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. The film was released by Universal, and had the studio's latest audio-visual intro at the beginning, as is the norm for motion pictures. The little phisch leaned over and whispered to me, "Daddy, what music is that?" I told him, and we settled in for a fun time. That little exchange immediately took my mind back a few weeks before, at the end of 2007, when the missus and I took the little phisch to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. That particular film was released by Twentieth-Century Fox, and its extremely recognizable audio-visual intro rolled at the beginning. Then, the little phisch leaned over and excitedly exclaimed, "Daddy, it's the Star Wars music!" I smiled broadly, and assured him, that yes, it was indeed "the Star Wars music." Amazing how those blaring trumpets and the monolithic wording have become synonymous with Star Wars for him, just as it did for me when I was a boy. To this day, whenever I see or hear that intro, I'm half-expecting the "Star Wars Main Theme" to follow shortly thereafter, or to see "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." centered on the screen.

I figured Vader as more of a chopper guy

At least it's not one of those girly-looking Vespas.

I knew there was something familiar about those Potter books
