What else I've done this weekend and other thoughts

I didn't know that this week marks the 10th anniversary of the debut of Kevin Rubio's spoof Troops on TFN. I recall TFN hadn't been TFN for long (it had only recently changed its name from The Star Wars Page At Texas A&M), I was bumming because Titanic was about to leap-frog over ANH for all-time box office take, and what should brighten up the gloomy winter of 1998 than a funny takeoff on Fox's long-running Cops done SW-style. What's funny is that Lucasfilm was fine with Troops, the producers of Cops were fine with it (it's included on one of the show's DVD sets), but the reggae band that performs the show's theme song "Bad Boys" came very close to suing for copyright infringement. It took a lot of phone calls to get the band to back down.

It looks like KOTCS will debut at the Cannes film festival in May, a la ROTS and TPM. I'm waiting for my invite in the mail!

I saw Jumper this afternoon. ( Spoilery thoughts )
