Song in my head:
"Get Your Hands Off of My Woman" by Ben Folds (originally done by the Darkness)

Wasn't feeling very well yesterday so I'm not at work today. Strange as it may sound, but I actually enjoy working instead of being sick at home. I think my voice just needs to rest for the day. I'll see how long I can go without saying a word.

To follow-up the recent announcement about who's playing Superman, here's a link to see what Brandon Routh looks like. An Undressed alum.

Rumors about when the first Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith trailer is coming is on Cinescape.

Thurston Moore is writing the liner notes for the Nirvana box set, With the Lights Out. Read all about it here.

I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
