Sideshow Collectibles is proud to announce the Extras and Ancillaries line of Star Wars 12-inch figure figures. Stay tuned to our weekly newsletter for the first glimpse of the premier character in this new category: Kal'Falnl C'ndros - coming soon!
Optimus Prime is looking good... very good in fact, but what the fuck is with Megatron???? They've seriously fucked him up big time, the only saving grace is that Hugo Weaving is doing his voice.
While waiting impatiently for the movie "300" to be released here, I stumbled over these parodies while surfing the net.... can't wait 'til next Thursday!!!!!
Fans looking forward to 2007's Star Wars Weekends at Disney-MGM Studios now have four more reasons to make the trip to Florida this summer -- Disney has devised four new limited edition maquettes which stunningly portray Disney's iconic characters in classic Star Wars garb. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy have been transformed into X-Wing Fighter Pilot Mickey, Princess Minnie, Stormtrooper Donald, and Darth Goofy.
Fans who have actually seen the original Mickey Mouse Jedi figure are often first struck by its scale (it's BIG!) and then delighted by the clever merging of the two properties. The new series continues this tradition and will be offered in the same large scale, standing between 17" and 23" with the illuminated base. The full effect of the base lighting (and the tactical screen behind Princess Minnie) cannot be seen in the accompanying images, but really enhances the display when the room lights are turned down. The belt and chest panel on Darth Goofy are also illuminated.
These remind me of the Warner Bros. collectibles you can buy from their stores.... I've always wanted a huge Marvin the Martian....
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will reprise the roles they have made their own: teen wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the final two motion picture adaptions of J.K. Rowling's best selling book series. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.
In making the announcement, Robinov said, "When Daniel, Rupert and Emma were first cast as Harry, Ron and Hermione, we knew they were not only talented, but had a very special chemistry. Through the years, and in each of the 'Harry Potter' films, we have watched them grow into extraordinary young adults, as well as remarkable actors. It would be inconceivable to imagine anyone else in the roles with which they have become so identified, so we are thrilled and proud that Daniel, Rupert and Emma have chosen to complete the arc of their characters in the final two films."
Great news... especially after the recent speculation that Emma wouldn't stay for the last movies. Even better is that its an official statement... no more speculation required.
This looks fucking awesome, and I can't wait to see it.... I'm becoming obsessed with the second movie, trying to work out where they'll take it from here... even the writers commentary is insightful.
In a chilling analysis of the PATRIOT Act, the ACLU points out that the new definition of "domestic terrorist" redefines any US criminal as a terrorist, exempt from due process and an open trial. "Domestic terrorists" can have their assets seized without a hearing, have their educational records pulled, and a host of other nasties. "Terrorism" is now officially meaningless: as far as the PATRIOT Act is concerned, if you do anything the government doesn't like, you're a terrorist. When you put it that way, it seems even less likely that we'll win the "war on terrorism."
Section 802 does not create a new crime of domestic terrorism. However, it does expand the type of conduct that the government can investigate when it is investigating "terrorism." The USA PATRIOT Act expanded governmental powers to investigate terrorism, and some of these powers are applicable to domestic terrorism.
The definition of domestic terrorism is broad enough to encompass the activities of several prominent activist campaigns and organizations. Greenpeace, Operation Rescue, Vieques Island and WTO protesters and the Environmental Liberation Front have all recently engaged in activities that could subject them to being investigated as engaging in domestic terrorism.
What a sad state of affairs... the terrorists really are winning the battle. America and England are so frightened right now, how long will it take for someone in power to abuse all these new laws... reminds me of a recent movie, will we all have to stand and fight?
Inman had suffered from complications due to his contraction of Hepatitis A in 2004. Since then, he had been hospitalized with serious illness at least two times.
Inman's partner of 35 years, Ron Lynch, was said to be "devastated" by the death of his loved one.
The Daily Mail reports: "Inman played camp salesman Mr Humphries in the comedy series Are You Being Served? for a decade from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. He starred alongside Wendy Richard, who went on to play Pauline Fowler in EastEnders, as well as Molly Sugden, Frank Thornton and Trevor Bannister. The actor had been with Mr Lynch for 35 years. The couple "married" in a civil partnership ceremony at London's Westminster Register office on Christmas Eve in 2005."
His manager Phil Dale said: "John, through his character Mr Humphries of Are You Being Served? was known and loved throughout the world. He was one of the best and finest pantomime dames working to capacity audiences throughout Britain. John was known for his comedy plays and farces which were enjoyed from London's West End throughout the country and as far as Australia, Canada and the USA."
I remember watching him when I was growing up... I never got half the jokes, but I pissed myself laughing anyway. He will be missed.
Said Eye in the Sky reporter Vic Lorusso of the friend: "You wouldn't know him. He's a nice guy but his partner, which is Anthony Callea, didn't want to know anything about anybody." he told host Christo.
When Christo questioned the comment, Lorusso quickly continued with the traffic report.
A spokeswoman for the show claimed Lorusso had not been taking a pot shot at Callea: "Vic had no idea that it wasn't common knowledge."
Callea had no immediate response. While a contestant on Idol, Callea denied rumors that he was gay, saying, "I'm not gay. I don't know why people say I am. A lot of people just make up rubbish."
There is a four day set report on 'Ain't it Cool' from 'The Mist', based on a Stephen King short story. Basically a mist envelops a town and we see what happens to the suvivors trapped in the local supermarket. Trust me, all sorts of weird shit starts happening.
The $3.3-billion U.S. Cassini mission, funded by NASA and the European and Italian space agencies, recently sent back these stunning images the Cassini craft snapped while in an inclined orbit around the planet Saturn over the past two months.
I loved space as a kid, and these photos finally get me excited again.
Apparently, they'll also be a six minute scene from the movie next week. To be honest, I think I'd like to stay in the dark for spidey.... let's hope the movie is awesome tho!!
A photograph taken of English Prime Minister Tony Blair (top row, center) while he was at Oxford in the 70's has been in circulation for a while — in a more sanitized state. The photograph had an "obscene gesture" excised from it to protect the PM's image.
Father Nicholas, a contemporary of Blair's at Oxford who originally provided the photo to a news agency with the prerequisite that the gesture be taken out, said he wasn't surprised that the original image has finally surfaced.
He added: "I suppose the BBC lawyers would be a bit worried if I was to suggest he was drunk in that photo. On the other hand, it's probably more defamatory to say he was sober."
It's great to see that such important people were such normal people growing up... I mean, we've all done something stupid, sometimes its caught on camera. I think he looks absolutely smashing in a boater.......
