If I hadn’t been in my cubicle, I would have shouted “whoo hoo!” at the top of my lungs. For years, George Lucas has resisted his fans’ demands to put the original three Star Wars movies on DVD. It looks like he’s had a change of heart. The DVD set, which is to be released in September, will be the “Special Edition” releases of Star Wars, The Epire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

I’m thrilled to finally add these to my growing DVD shelf, but I’d rather have the theatrical releases, and not the digitally-monkeyed-with re-releases.

Greedo did not shoot first!

Today, his eminence, Bishop John, sent me a link to a bizarre Flash-based game, in which you try to make a yeti bash a penguin with a club. I don’t know anything about the site, I don’t know why the yeti would want to abuse the penguin, and I don’t know why a yeti and a penguin are even on the same continent. But it is kinda fun.

My best try sent the penguin flying almost 300m.

For those of you who have access to the Sci-Fi channel, the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries starts tonight. According to an article on Wired.com, the Cylons are now sexy female robots. Sounds like the show’s producer watched Austin Powers one too many times.

Anyway, I won’t be watching, as much as I liked the original series as a kid. As far as I can tell, it isn’t showing in Canada.

We can always rely on Japanese television to provide us with truly surreal advertising. In this ad for who-knows-what, Red Ridinghood’s furry forest friends suddenly become… er… well-endowed.

Quicktime is required to play the movie
