William Shatner – or, The Shat, as we like to call him - is a fine, fine man. We say ‘fine’. We actually mean ‘like watching an endless loop of terrible car wrecks, limbs flying through the air’.
Right? Right.
The Shat is prone to opening his mouth and not thinking too much about what tumbles out. That’s why he’s so fun. And when he does think about it for a second, it usually translates into the most hilariously earnest acting you’ve ever seen. That doesn’t stop him from judging other people’s work. Hell no. Why would it? Now, he’s sticking the boot into Star Wars. It’s Star Wars versus Star Trek!
George Lucas has got everyone thinking about Star Wars again, what with him re-releasing it for the millionth time and, better yet, still tinkering around with it in a bid to utterly infuriate absolutely everyone who loves the films.
Well done George.
So while Lucas meddles, we fiddle. This means we started thinking about the hottest gals from the Star Wars films. When we kicked our measly brains into gear, it transpired that there aren’t too many girls in the Star Wars universe. So who with excite our spaceballs?
Star Wars, great as it is, is by no means perfect. There’s loads of mistakes in it which are really, quite unacceptable. How can you have a masterpiece with a Stormtrooper smacking his head against a beam?
And so, George Lucas is our saviour, here to iron out all these imperfections and make the film as good as it could be.
His latest move is to take a scene that’s bugged us for ages – the death of Emperor Palpatine – and make it vastly superior by getting Darth Vader to actually emote, rather than stand there like some useless work experience lump in a mobile phone shop.
George Lucas must have more dead horses on his Skywalker ranch than the stables after the Grand National.
How else could he keep flogging them?
Not content with ruining his own credibility with the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Indiana Jones vs the Aliens, Lucas has announced that he has 2 series worth of scripts ready for his new live action Star Wars TV show. Read More >>>
Movies. They’re daft enough as it is, right? All those lovies and thesps taking themselves immensely seriously while playing make-believe for huge sums of money. It’s all rather cute isn’t it?
Of course, when us humans aren’t watching films, we’re mocking them.
Thanks to the internet, we can mock them in front of millions of people. The best movies parodies are done with a modicum of heart and fondness and those nice people at Aero have asked us to compile a list of our favourite YouTube movie spoofs in exchange for the middle bits of the bubbles that they put in their chocolate.
Sci-fi villains – we just can’t get enough of them.
From Ming the Merciless to Darth Vader, a good old-fashioned baddie can transform even the most average science fiction movie into something quite special.
But which are the best sci-fi villains in movie history? Well, we have combed the length and breadth of the galaxy to come up with a selection of baddies that are simply out of this world.
Mean and murderous they may be – but we love them anyway. Enjoy.
Microsoft workers are not exactly the sharpest tools in the box.
How else can you explain why one of their customer service staffers failed to recognise someone ‘pretending’ to be Darth Vader?
The guy on the end of the phone is not even pretending to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, he’s simply playing parts of the Star Wars trilogy to him, and he still does not get it. Even the heavy breathing does not give him away.
Where has this guy been? Has he never heard of Star Wars?
The first: Goooooooood. The second: Baaaaaaaad. Folded: Rambo on DVD (‘cos the man is a beast) Darth Vader does Thriller (quite funny really) Low-cost, small town clothing retailers: ‘Bobby Dazzler’, ‘ReVamp’ and the like (probably the best shop names in the world) Electric Feel by MGMT (awash with 80’s influences, this corking tune is about [...]
