"Premakes" The Empire Strikes Back (1950)

From The Great Geek Manual:

One Youtube user envisions what Star Wars would have looked like if it had been a 3D movie made in the fifties.

It may well be the most impressive Star Wars tribute video I’ve ever seen.

Joe Pasnanski on the iPad

Joe Pasnanski:

I’m not saying you want an iPad or need one (or any of the upcoming tablets) — I don’t get commission. I’m just saying, what’s the big deal? It’s a computer and television and radio and newspaper and book and magazine and game console and Internet the size of a piece of paper and the width of a Mitch Albom book. It’s freaking amazing, that’s the big deal.
