Special Episode 2/4 - Guest Directors - Stephenie Meyer, J.K. Rowling & George Lucas - Mad Dog McGillicuddy and his Rabid Band of Howler Monkeys

I asked people on Twitter and Facebook what they thought of the possibility that JK Rowling will do another two or three Harry Potter books. We got tons of great responses but one follower, HowlerMonkeys, shared this wonderful cartoon with me.

Good little entertaining way to end the weekend :)

Down in Front

We have an upcoming interview with the boys from Down in Front: Teague Chrystie, Brian Finifter, Michael 'Dorkman' Scott, and Trey Stokes. We'll be posting that soon but in the meantime, check out their movie commentaries. They aren't really your traditional MST3K commentaries or the ones you would typically hear on DVDs. They dissect movies and give their praise or their own nerdy suggestions as to how they might have fixed certain plot problems. Seriously, they're awesome. Check 'em out. Down in Front.

Three of the boys from Down in Front have films on Our Favorite Star Wars Fan Films - Movies Feature at IGN. They are "Injured Stormtrooper" by Brian Finifter (#6), Ryan vs. Dorkman (#5), and The Pink Five Saga by Trey Stokes (#4). Check out their work below (I linked RvD2 instead of the first one just b/c it's my personal favorite of the two :))



This won't embed but you can click on it to go to youtube OR the whole saga can be found on Atom films (pinkfive.com) so go check them all out there :)

Star Wars Hotel

So today on Twitter I played a fun game with a fellow geek @GEEKLEETIST. We decided that there needed to be a Star Wars Hotel and we came up with a list of names for rooms, etc that would be in this hotel. We had some help from other lovely fellow geeks/nerds as well :)

Fight the Empire for Your Right To Party

My birthday is still months and months away, but for those who have a upcoming reason to celebrate allow me to present you with a Wampa Cake! I have trouble making top ramen most days but it is now my mission in life to make that cake.

This cake is from the same lady who brought us the Luke Skywalker pinata.

DIY Saturday: Luke Skywalker Pinata

Happy Saturday!

Now, I have a project coming to you guys, but seeing this, I simply cannot resist relaying it for today's DIY project:

That's right. A Luke Skywalker pinata, complete with lightsaber, severed hand, and gore.

See the full tutorial here. And if you make your very own little Star Wars party.. for the love of all things nerdy, we will NEED to see pictures.
