When do I Stop?

My question to you, oh internet, is when do I start my spoiler-avoidance social media boycott?  I mean, at some point soon the leaks are going to be out of control.  People are going to start letting the galactic cat out of the bag.  I’ve already seen a bunch of trailers and TV commercials.  I don’t want to see anything else related to The Force Awakens until I’m actually in the theater watching The Force Awakens.

So I ask you, when should I bury my head in the sand?

Another Star Wars Trailer!

There’s another Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer!  This one was made for the international markets (Asia?) and it has a bunch of new footage!  If they keep this up there won’t be any new movie to see.

My beloved wife and I have both taken the release day off.  I haven’t bought tickets yet, but I will soon enough.  I don’t care if we have to go to a 9:00am showing.

Six weeks from today!  I can’t wait!  I want it to come out now!

Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer #3

I am not ashamed to admit that this 2.5 minute commercial gave me chills.  Does that make me a super nerd?  Yes, and I don’t care.

Tickets are on sale now.  I am going to need to figure out when and where I want to see it for the first time.  I was considering taking the day off and trying to get to an afternoon show, preferably an IMAX show.  We’ll see.

More Video from Comic Con

The best part of the San Diego Comic Con, from the point of view of someone multiple thousands of miles away, is that we get all sorts of new movie trailers. Yesterday it was The Walking Dead. Today it’s Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Sure we all love our Marvel movies and the Avengers are neat and all, but for me when it comes to comic book super heroes, I’m all about the DC babie. Batman? Check. Superman? Check. Wonder Woman? Check. Don’t forget the bad guys, Lex Luthor? Check. It doesn’t come out until March 26, 2016, but they can keep my seat in the theater warm for me.

Now, having said that…

This is not a trailer. It’s a behind the scenes thing that was aired at the Star Wars panel at Comic Con (last night I think? This morning? I don’t know). This is the best thing that could ever maybe happen, short of episode VII coming out early and me being at some unannounced premier.

Watch this and enjoy.

On Again Off Again On Again

So… remember a couple of days ago when I said that I fell off the wagon on Friday but was back on the wagon on Saturday?

Well I fell off the wagon on Sunday.

I was home with my step son. We were watching Star Wars movies. There was this big tub of pretzels. I tried to fight them off but I couldn’t, and next thing I know half the tub was in my stomach. I didn’t want to eat them all, I just did. Then later I had a buffalo chicken dinner with 40 tons of french fries from a pizza/sub shop in town. I didn’t want to eat it all, I just did.

It’s over though. It’s Monday now and I am back on the wagon again. I’ve been good today. I will do my best to be good tomorrow. I will not try to continue to be good. As Yoda said, Do or do not, there is no try. I choose to do!

Thank you for the moral support, Yoda! I for one did not think it was ridiculous when you put down your cane and started kicking ass with your miniature light saber. I thought, well they don’t call him Master for nuttin’!

Speaking of ridiculous, go to Google news and search for articles about the new Star Wars Episode VII trailer. The articles themselves aren’t necessarily ridiculous, but the comment sections… Oh. My. God. Wow. Just… Wow.

I’m sorry. I’m feeling a little cynical. I get this way when I really, really need to see a Bruins game and they are playing on the west coast. I mean, really. 10:00pm start times just blow chunks all over the ice.
