Towels, Star Wars...oh, and Avengers


Today is Towel Day (we miss you, Douglas Adams!) and the 35th anniversary of the release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, so I marked the day by seeing The Avengers for the third time with my daughter. (I mean, of course. What else would one do?). I think that's the last time or there might be an intervention.

Conveniently, here's a comparison of Star Wars and Avengers characters I recently found:

sci fi fantasy - Star Wars Vs. Avengers
see more Set Phasers To Lol

I love that last one. :)

Now I just need to figure out where my towel is...

Mal vs. Hammer, Indy vs. Han...

By Gina Biggs
A friend shared this cartoon on Facebook, and I love it. I have to say, that IS what would happen should Captain Mal meet Captain Hammer. (Just in case you're not familiar with Firefly or Dr. Horrible, I'll let you in on the joke: Nathan Fillion played both characters).

So, that got me thinking, and reminded me of this picture I saw on Flickr awhile ago as part of JD Hancock's "Duel 365" series:

Han Solo vs. Indiana Jones (7/365)
By JD Hancock

What would happen if Indiana Jones met Han Solo? I mean there is this scene:





So, how do you think it would go down?

Come to the bark side...we have biscuits.



After last year's Super Bowl commercial, Volkswagen apparently thought they'd keep going with the Star Wars theme. I'm not complaining.

(Best commercial that had nothing to do with the product ever)

I didn't think anything could make this scene better

...but adding lightsabers sure did the trick.

Behold the power of Lord...er, I mean...Lady Vader!

I'm pretty strict about my rule on not putting pics of LilGirl on the Internet, but last night, hubby got by with tweeting this one because she's wearing a mask. It got retweeted by the official Star Wars Twitter account, which was pretty cool. So here's her 15 seconds (if that) of (fairly anonymous) fame:

Follow-up: AT-AT Day Afternoon

Back in June, I posted AT-AT Day Afternoon. Patrick Boivin has now posted a making-of video. It's pretty cool, even though my first thought was "Gasp! He took it apart?!?"

Sure it's cute when it's little, but I've seen how big those things get!

The video's creator, Patrick Boivin, says "When I was a kid, there are two things I wanted badly and never got... A real dog and a Kenner AT-AT Walker."
