When George Lucas was in charge of Star Wars’s destiny, the plan wasn’t to make more movies, the plan was simply to update the old movies to 3D and put them back in theaters one at a time over the course of the next six years.  With Star Wars Episode 1:  The Phantom Menace, that release went as planned and grossed Lucasfilm $102.5 million dollars worldwide.  Not too shabby for the worst of six Star Wars films, right?  Well, we won’t get the chance to see how the others do, because Disney has pulled the Star Wars 3D rereleases from the schedule.

Of course, Disney says the pulled rereleases are simply being delayed, not shut down officially in the wake of the 2015 release of Star Wars Episode VII as directed by JJ Abrams and written by Oscar-winner Michael Arndt.  That makes sense.  Might be a good way to gin up excitement about the newer films in the series!  I know I’d go see a Star Wars marathon with all six old films playing before the newest of the series, if only to say I did it.  Surely Disney Lucasfilm is thinking about what they want to do with these 3D updates, since I’m sure Disney would like to get its investment back.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
