Not crossing the impossible - STAR WARS and Dubstep

Nonstop Vol. 1 Album by Various Artists is AVAILABLE NOW on iTunes, Spotify, Beatport.

Speaking of not 'cros[sing] the line of the impossible' in STAR WARS Ep VII, NONSTP and Poppin' John's raw footwork is robot homage that completely shames C3P0.

Spoilers galore, this STAR WARS The Force Awakens tie-in fan comic by Blizzard Entertainment's Tyson Murphy is deep with the feels.

Apple bought Disney?

Gruber lays relied too much on Strunk's teaching in the concluding sentence to this blog post:

“Here’s a what-if: What if Apple had bought Pixar instead of Disney?”

Let's try: "What if Pixar was purchased by Apple instead of by Disney?" That would clear up the frantic morning Google of did Apple buy Disney?

"There need to be dozens of these dead teddy bears"

Learn why the last chapter of Star Wars was a stillborn.

While the production quality of DoccGero's Lab's Youtube video is poor, and Docc sounds drunk, he hits on an important fact: Return of the Jedi pathetically "pandered to children". It, not the horrible prequels, was where George Lucas's STAR WARS went off the rails. Docc goes off on ewoks, Emperor Palpatine's shallowness, and Darth Vader's lack of integrity as a villain.

It is the film in the original series that I like the least. 

The thumbnail image for this post is from this review of another horrible film from the STAR WARS universe, An Ewok Adventure.

Distillery workers arrested in theft of Pappy Van Winkle

Kudos to John Gruber for covering the Yahoo! story with a classic Han Solo one-liner: "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."

Here's the transcript of the scene from STAR WARS (episode IV, from IMDB):

“Luke Skywalker: She’s rich.
Han Solo: [interested] Rich?
Luke Skywalker: Rich, powerful. Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be...
Han Solo: What?
Luke Skywalker: Well, more wealth than you can imagine!
Han Solo: I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit.”

R2-D2 flies in Japan

The R2-D2 motif is also a great match to ANA's blue logo and design that appear on the main fuselage. The R2-D2 character has a reputation for strong, reliable service-one of the hallmarks of ANA's 5-star quality service.

I must be allowed to board this plane. If only it were Delta, not ANA. And flying to Detroit. Around August.
