You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

* I was absolutely boggling at the story (which has cropped up several times now) of printers being required to do their work IN THE DARK so as be unable to sneak peeks at the text of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I mean, I know they're operating under the most stringent secrecy, but that sounded positively medieval. It reminds me of the story about Ivan the Terrible blinding the architects of St. Basil's Cathedral.

Sometimes I think it would be entertaining to work for Bloomsbury's or Scholastic's PR department and have to deal with all of these ridiculous rumors.

* In other news ... ROTFLMAO at the recent reaction to Scholastic's new poll on "Who Will Wind Up With Whom." Admit it, Scholastic - one of your peeps is a Fandom Wanka and wrote this question as wank bait. It's okay to admit it; I only love you more for it. :D

* And in House news ... ( cut for season finale spoilers )

* Aaaaand in upcoming movie news - EEEEEEE! Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd is coming out at the end of this year!

I've been SUPA-busy, so I don't have time for too in-depth a post on this. But here goes...


Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

I have some very specific and fairly recent (well, ten years ago) memories of seeing the Special Edition of this movie in the theater. I was with a group, and we were typically the obnoxious people in the theater, but not this time. There was a guy sitting by himself in the front row, and as the movie went on, it became very clear that he was intoxicated and just a little too into the movie. He would constantly yell things, and most of them were actually funny, but after a while it got a little stale. Anyway, I can't see this movie without hearing his interjections in my head. Things like: "MAN, I LOVE THAT PART, I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME" (this was his most frequent ejaculation); "Luke is the MAN. GOD, I WISH I WAS LUKE!"; and (after the Death Star explodes - again - and the Ewoks sound the horns) *sings to the tune of the horns* "Let's all get DRUNK!"

( Tell your sister ... you were right. )

And as we leave this saga for a new franchise, I have but one question - is there any male Star Wars fan who *didn't* have a fantasy involving Leia and that bronze bikini number? :P
