SNL - Farewell Mr. Bunting

The odd thing about this is the age of the reference. Do the kids today know about "Dead Poet's Society"?

The odder thing about this is that SNL actually did something funny. Shocking.

E:60 - May 1, 2011

The major problem with ESPN's "30 for 30" movies is deciding which one watch. It seems like they're all amazing. Whether you have a passion for the subject or know nothing about it, the documentaries are so well done that they turn out equally as interesting.

Now there's a weekly show called "E:60" which is not really related but I'd call it a spin-off. They recently did an episode called "May 1, 2011".

It's rare that I'll witness a live event on TV, and rarer still that there's a historic event worth watching, but I was watching this one.

Star Wars Episode V Title Sequence

In honor of the new Radiohead album, here's an "alternate" version* of the "Empire Strikes Back" title sequence.

Watch in full screen.

Star Wars - Episode V "The Empire Strikes Back" Homage (Title Sequence) from KROFL on Vimeo.

* None of the Star Wars films have a title sequence.

When Radiohead released the song "Spectre" for free on Soundcloud, the message they posted with it ended with "May the Force be with you." for no apparent reason. Funny.

The Continue guys battle through controller ineptitude to figure out if The Combatribes is worth playing.

Conan - Jordan Schlansky Product Review #3

Jordan Schlansky reviews the eFx Darth Vader replica mask. It's the most heated review to date.



There's a fun irony in what Conan says and I don't think it was intended. Conan jokes that someone on a Star Wars forum would be named "JubJub86". "Jub jub" is not a Star Wars term, it's just a nonsense sound that Conan likes to use for comedy. But because of this, because it's his word, he asked J.J. Abrams if he would work "jub jub"into the "Force Awakens" script. J.J. Abrams granted his request and so "JubJub" IS a Star Wars term and would be a forum name that someone would use.
