Red Tails: George Lucas & Tuskegee Airmen

Well George Lucas is back, and his new film Red Tails is certified Jar Jar free.  Red Tails is the story of the Tuskegee airmen protecting Allied planes.  The CG looks absolutely amazing!  I'm slightly hesitant about this movie for I fear a return to Pearl Harbor.  "Inspired by true events" leads me to wonder how much truth will be worked into this story.  I also think the over the top "taking down racial stereotypes" tropes will detract from the film, but we'll see.  Enjoy the trailer!

Disney: Closing Star Tours :(

Its a sad day kids :( Disney has announced the closure of Star Tours at Disneyland (Jul 27) and Disneyworld (Aug 8).  The ride is pushing 20+ years old and the "Imangineers" are giving the ride an overhaul.  The new version will consist of a pod race (think Episode I) on Tatooine.  If it wasn't bad enough George Lucas ruined retooled a franchise we all know and loved, the Jar Jar Binks mindset will now infect Disney. 

Come 2011 we'll be speeding around in pods with little Anakin.  Oh how could I forget the most important part... IT WILL BE IN 3D! blah.

We can all agree that if it came down to a fight between Starwars and Startrek, Starwars would win.  Enjoy the following video in honor of Startrek's opening weekend.
