Well. Another Star Wars related post. Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” with Star Wars characters. Very well done, especially when you compare with the original.

Grocery Store Wars – not long ago in a supermarket not so far away… Cucumber Skywalker, under the apprenticeship of Obi Wan Cannoli, must learn the way of Farm, fight the evil villian Lord Tader, and destroy the Death Watermelon. Very very funny.

7 ways on how to shuffle a deck of cards, with lots of images and demo video. I better learn this one. One reason why I dislike card games is that I usually just make a mess when shuffling.

“What if…” it is something we often pondered. What if this event did not happen? What if the result was the other way around? What if something else has occurred on that day?” Watched The Butterfly Effect (Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, directed by Bress and Gruber) on DVD with Vivian on Tuesday (thanks to Grace [...]

Something that has been anticipated so much since the release of Star Wars prequel – we all know that one day this “yappie” yelling 10 year-old kid is going to become that black helmeted villain wielding the dark side of the force.

Only most crazy guitarists would want to play 3 necks at the same time, and the article mentioned that Steve Vai as one, which I fully agree. You also need to have a good build and a very strong back to carry the weight.

Based on Johnson’s story on on-line DVD rental, I have decided to give it a try as an alternative to visiting the video shops. I picked Quickflix from half a dozen other fast growing on-line DVD rental stores because of their decent website and user-friendly interface, and test-drove their one month free-trial offer. Now, a [...]

I watched the movie Down with Love on DVD last night. This romance comedy is about the match between feminist best-seller author Barbara Novak (Rene Zellweger) and woman’s-man journalist Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor). It was actually surprisingly funny with quite a bit of parody to the 60′s. The shots were very “colourful”. The acting was [...]

Mel Brook is working on a sequel to Spaceballs, due to be out within the next year or two. Spaceballs was one of my favourite comedy, which I briefly reviewed here. Somehow I am more excited about the new Spaceballs than the new Starwars movie.
