I wasn't even alive when Episode IV came out, but after going to the Serenity Premier in Santa Cruz, I can safely say I haven't been cheated out of that kind of experience. We got a posse together, went in full costume (I was one of those "Hands of Blue" guys), expecting to be part of a very small group of fanatics in a big empty theatre. Ha. The line of Browncoats stretched down three blocks, 2/3 of the people in it were in costume as well. It was pretty incredible being part of that, and besides I thought the movie was pretty damn good.
Every now and then some movie comes out of left field, just when you're starting to despair, and gives you hope that it's not over yet. These days they certainly stand out more, what with the mindless crud they're competing with.
I thought of the VW thing when I saw this. It makes me happy that the geeks here at UCSC are getting into the same spirit of clever yet harmless pranks a la UBC or MIT. Go Banana Slugs!
The world is melting and all we wanna do is milk it for some bucks.
Whoever designed the human brain was obviously using windows, cuz smething is seriously screwed up there.
One step closer to Capitalism eating itself, friends.

isn't that just begging to be pronounced "wasabi?" And wasabi's always a good thing.
