Friday, September 16th, 2011

I drop all previous engagements (like reviewing a movie for you) to open up the Star Wars Blu-Ray Box Set. Inside, I find quite a surprise…

The Noooo in Return of the Jedi was the tip of the iceberg.

Well, we know this isn’t graduation from target accuracy class.

By the way, that’s a girl.

From The Daily What: Geeky girl graduates from college in full Stormtrooper gear.

Leia Slave Outfit A Reality!

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

I can’t believe I found this in the Star Wars shop, but it’s true. An officially licensed Leia Slave Outfit. Hilariously named the “Secret Wishes Princess Leia Slave Costume,” this gift from the perverted gods includes a the Leia bikini, briefs with skirt, belt, choker and headpiece. It does NOT include the unrealistically-shaped woman, so your results may vary. But seriously…this thing comes with a “choker.” A CHOKER! In a galaxy of sadomasochists far far away…

By the way, people who bought this outfit also purchased…

…making me think it’s probably not girls buying these costumes. Yikes.

You want to buy this outfit for yourself, I mean your girlfriend? Get your sci-fi freak on at Star Wars Shop.

4-Year-Old Gives Kurt Russel’s “Miracle” Speech

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

First, from the master…

And now, as delivered by a 4-year-old…

I gotta say, I love when the kid points during “because we can!”

And here’s a bonus adorable kid/movie collaboration:

Dear Santa: Bring Me A Bounty Hunter Hoodie

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Soon, I will be eaten by a CG Sarlacc monster just like the coolest/most overrated bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Check it out HERE, but don’t expect to buy one. They’re sold out on the website. (Hint: Go To Macy’s)

Fanboys Has A Release Date! Really? Are You Sure This Time??

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I just happened to stumble upon the Fanboys website a few minutes ago. Literally. One of my favorite Internet Boredom pastimes is clicking Stumble using the StumbleUpon toolbar, and this time, it just so happened to take me to the site of the Shot-Two-Years-Ago-But-Never-Released movie Fanboys, about a group of friends who try to sneak into Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of Phantom Menace so their friend can see it before he dies. Anyway, the most noticeable thing I saw (besides the 40-Year-Old Virgin poster homage) was that there was an actual release date for this movie!

Now, if you know nothing about theFanboys drama, consider yourself lucky. It’s long, drawn-out, and involves many different re-shoots, re-edits, and release dates. There’s an abbreviated version on Wikipedia. Anyway, after 3 years, the movie will finally see the light of day on February 9th, 2009 and it’s essentially fan service to all the big time Star Wars nerds out there (i.e. Me). Hell, even the tagline is a SW reference. Anyway, this movie is also of interest because it involves the following people: Kristen Bell, Jay Baruchel, Carrie Fisher, Will Forte, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Ray Park (Darth Maul), Craig Robinson, Seth Rogen, William Shatner, and Lando himself, Billy Dee Williams! I think it’s going to be strange to see all these people in a movie they shot 3 years ago. Surely their appearances have changed in that time. Of course, more interesting is the fact that this movie takes place before the prequels were released, in a time when Fanboys were less hate-filled, so I fully expect this movie to capture what it means to be a movie fan and not a movie site message board troll.

Oh, did I also mention it’s got Kristen Bell in a Leia Slave Outfit? ‘Cause it totally does!

Billy Dee Reprises Lando!

Just when I started to think, “This isn’t a very good video,” Billy Dee shows up out of nowhere! God damn he’s smooth.

Stop Motion Star Wars : Part One

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

A long time ago (14 years) in a galaxy far, far away (Ohio), the Nerd With Words and his friend BJ attempted to recreate his favorite movie from memory using only Star Wars toys, in-camera effects, and horrible, horrible voice acting. This is pre-prequels, pre-Be Kind, Rewind sweding, and pre-puberty.

In celebration of the Clone Wars cartoon debut this Friday, I present the origin story of the Nerd With Words: Part One of Stop Motion Star Wars.

Wow. That was made with little irony, or Tusken Raiders.

Clone Wars Starts This Friday!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

The Clone Wars cartoon starts this Friday at 9 pm on Cartoon Network. Watch it! If you love Star Wars, you’ll be home on a Friday night anyway. They had a preview on Cartoon Network this weekend, and the series looks phenomenal. Yes, this comes from an unapologetic Star Wars fanboy. But watching this preview, it’s hard to believe this will be on television every week. We have new Star Wars adventures every week on television! And it comes equipped with an Ackbar-style (Mon Calamari) Jedi!

Lucasfilm is the master of trailer-making, getting people’s hopes up beyond believable expectations, and then delivering an impressive product that people are nevertheless disappointed with, but look at that trailer! How can you’re a Star Wars fan?? — Whoops, deleted a few words there, or perhaps some Yoda-speak slipped in. How can you not be excited if you’re a Star Wars fan?? Thanks for pointing that out, Bloomfielb.
