Star Wars: Episode 1 3D Poster Almost As Bad As Movie, Maybe Worse

What can I say at this point that hasn't already been said by one of us on this blog, or elsewhere in the world? Star Wars is a shell of what it was and even with the awful edits of the original trilogy (and in my humble opinion) this film was the true downfall of Lucas's "vision". The 3D release is just that much worse.

Here we are in 2011 and you don't even use the beautiful artwork of Drew Struzan? That might have been the one good thing about the original release of the movie (excluding the awesome Podracing game that proceeded the release.) Instead we get something so tacky I'm surprised it got through the studio. What annoys me the most is that the focus is on Darth Maul who appears in the movie for less than 6 f****ing minutes.

Also interesting is the absence of several major Phantom Menace characters. Lets face it, we all hate Jar Jar, but leaving him out? Guess you don't want to sell that new line of toys that is coming out. Anakin Skywalker , Qui-Gon Jinn, Padme and C-3PO are also missing. This poster is lazy, amateur work with no thought. Well done Lucas Arts/Marketing department, you've hit an all new low.

The World Will Now End On My Birthday

Harold Camping; not quite the Da-Vinci Code, not quite National Treasure.

Hey, you know how I said that no more rapture jokes would be made? I lied. Harold Camping, who announced the Rapture would occur Saturday, has had another revelation: The world will now end on October 21. Camping says that he was scamming people and guessed a random date God held off Saturday out of mercy: He did not want man to suffer for five months, but he was here on earth, spiritually.
