Geek Blog – Happy Holidays!
GeekWife just informed me that I’m slacking a little on my posts. “Y U no post New Year yet?” she asks.
Truth is, Star Wars: The Old Republic happened.
On a related note: Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays

Geek Blog – Vader’s “Great Dictator” Speech
Charlie Chaplin, long time silent film star/writer/producer released his first spoken film (and his most commercially successful film) in October of 1940: The Great Dictator (Wikipedia).
**Spoiler Alert** (LOL)
At the end, Chaplin’s character, a Jewish barber, is mistaken for the recent conquering dictator (a satire of Hitler) who was also played by Chaplin. The barber immediately addresses the nation and revokes all the anti-semetic policies put in place by Adenoid Hynkel (Adolf Hitler). It is a very moving speech, made more so, considering the timing (America was still at peace with Nazi Germany and Chaplin was already under close scrutiny) and the fact that this is the first time Chaplin’s audience could hear him on the screen.
Below is a mashup between the speech, the soundtrack from Inception and some clips from the Star Wars franchise, posted to YouTube by TenkanOriginals.
Enjoy.

Geek Blog – Words Hurt
Words of advice to “keep our future janitors and sports reporters in school just long enough so they don’t become a burden on our tax system.” Don’t be a GeekBully
Words Hurt, so bite your tongues, fellow geeks. Just once a day.

Geek Blog – Pegg and Frost Do Star Wars
While filming their new Sci-Fi comedy, Paul, UK Comedic Geniuses Simon Pegg and Nick Frost set out to recreate Star Wars; however, they didn’t make it too far. This comedic duo portray the beloved droids well, having almost as deep a history together (Shaun of the Dead, Spaced, Hot Fuzz, etc) as Artoo and Threepio. I’m still laughing.
I absolutely love their stuff and can’t wait to see Paul in theatres.
