The other day I launched my Star Wars blog, Lando’s ‘Stache, over on wordpress.com. I’ll be posting my Star Wars content over there, so this will probably be my last one here until the big day. Follow me there for my online Star Wars scrapbook. You’ll find plenty of stuff from that galaxy far, far […]
Twenty two. That’s the number of times I saw the original Star Wars in a movie theater. Somehow I convinced my parents to let me go every time the opportunity presented itself. Whether it was with my cousins or classmates, I was not going to miss out on seeing the movie set in a galaxy […]
Regular readers know how fired up I am about Episode VII and I thought this was pretty funny. I was hanging out with my nephew and I played the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer on Youtube. Nephew: Not again! Me: You’ve seen it already? Nephew: That’s all daddy watches! Me (laughing): The Force is strong in our family.
We’re less than a month away from the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We’ve scoured the Internet for any kind of Star Wars news. We’ve seen two teasers, a behind-the-scenes short, trailers for various parts of the world, and now TV spots. We’ve had merchandise shoved down our throats on Force Friday. I’m not sure why, […]
With today’s announcement that CBS is launching a new Star Trek series in 2017, I thought it was a good time to start reading James Doohan’s memoir, Beam Me Up Scotty. I scored a used copy last year and it’s been on my to-read shelf ever since. As you can see in the photo above, I’m using my […]
After I posted my progress on my 2015 Goals list yesterday, I thought about why I haven’t been motivated to complete my goal of watching all 100 of AFI’s Greatest Films. I love watching movies and a lot of those on that list are classics. I should’ve been able to finish that list with no problem, right? […]
I wanted to give a shout-out to Derek of iheartprintandplay.com, the artist responsible for my avatar shown above. It’s how I’m identified at islaythedragon.com, where I write a weekly board game news column, and I’m starting to use it throughout my social media profiles. My wife got a kick out of the image and I loved […]
I was talking to a few of my buddies last night about the Star Wars movie when I realized that the only way The Force Awakens is going to live up to the hype is if it blows everybody away. I contained my excitement before giving in to it when the trailer was released, but after a […]
I’m in full geek mode right now. After the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer debuted last night, I read a handful of Star Wars articles and watched youtube videos (and, yes, I watched the trailer dozens of times). One thing that I stumbled upon that I absolutely loved was this quote from Felicia Day: “Geekdom […]
My wife and I were out with friends tonight, enjoying drinks, appetizers, and a hilarious game of bingo at a local restaurant. We wouldn’t be watching the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer “live,” but we could watch it at home. The bingo game was a blast and my wife won a prize! We were excited […]
