Sunday Links for January 8th

We started the new year on a sad note.  In the past week, we lost Bob Anderson, an Olympic fencer and movie swordsman.  We knew him best swinging a lightsaber as Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi."  We also lost Richard Alf, one of the founders of San Diego Comic Con.  Alf was an early benefactor of SDCC, and is a huge reason it is what it is today.  You will both be missed.

This week also brought the disturbing news that there is an upcoming Twilight musical.  While it seems it will be a sarcastic parody, it still saddens me.  Hopefully the Star Alliance can put an end to it......

For everyone getting as obsessed with Skyrim as I am, check out this fan-made Monopoly board.  It is a great backup in case the power goes out.

Video Friday! 4/22/11

The weekend is here! Yay! That also means it's time for VIDEOS!!!!


So many board games are being made into movies. It's a little ridiculous. I never wanted to see a movie about Battleship or Candy Land, but I would pay money for this... even though I think it's already been done. That's what Wall Street and Limitless are all about, right? Doesn't matter. I'd see it just for Rich Uncle Pennybags.





Remember Rebecca Black and her song "Friday"? Many people despised it, and because of that, the inevitable parodies have been released. Here is one for us geeks.





Marvel scored a huge WIN with this. Better than Little Vader, Little Thor shows that it is not about the size but the power.





This is nothing but WIN!





Now for something a little "special," here is one of the most absurd videos I have come across in a very long time. It's called Bollywood Breakdance except there is no breakdancing. There are, however, many nods to Michael Jackson, Flashdance, and Mortal Kombat. Also, if you are familiar with a little known movie called "Fast Forward" you will probably recognize some of the moves from there.





And with that I wish you nothing but a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter if you celebrate it.
