35 Years Ago Today . . . In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

On this day in 1977, before it was known as ‘Episode IV’, a little movie called Star Wars made its debut and changed the way things worked in Hollywood for all time. It also had a very significant impact on a young boy named Chris who learned an important lesson that day: there’s no limit to what you can imagine.

Happy 35 Star Wars.

SpaceBook. Awesome.

This made me laugh out loud, or LOL as the kids are saying these days. I can just picture Darth Vader keeping tabs on his minions this way.

Video Friday - Magnum Vs. Solo

I’ve been very busy getting The Flickcast on its feet at new hosting (Thank you Media Temple) so I’ve been remiss with the blog. Shocking, I know. Fortunately, I’ve got a great video to share with you this week.

						I don't have much to say about this video except that its <em>extremely</em> funny, especially if you're an avid fan of both Magnum, P.I. <em>and</em> Star Wars. Which, I'm happy to say, I am. 

						Enjoy this and realize what it took to make it work. These guys are pretty smart indeed.

Video Friday -- "Star Wars" Retold by Someone Who Hasn't Seen It

Much like previous weeks, this Friday brings another “Star Wars” themed video. Yes, I like Star Wars, so what? When you have your own blog you can post videos about your favorite movies, no matter what they are.

						Until then, enjoy this one about, you guessed it, "Star Wars." Did I mention this is about "Star Wars"? I just want to make sure I mention "Star Wars" enough so there's no confusion regarding this video. Its about "Star Wars." Clear? Good. Enjoy.
