Episode III Title Officially Announced

Lucasfilm made the announcement at Comic-Con

There is an ‘official’ story about it on CNN . The official title is now: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

The logo is identical to that used for Episode VI (Return of the Jedi), which helps tie the prequel trilogy back into the original trilogy (which hits shelves on DVD in September!) Also revealed at Comic-con were drawings of Kashyyyk (Homeplanet of the Wookiees). Looks like Lucas is well into post-production for Episode III, which is scheduled to hit theaters in May of ’05. I wonder when tickets will go on sale?

100 Million Songs

The iTunes Music store has broken 100 million songs sold

it happened a little before 1:30 Eastern time last night/this morning. Apple’s got a list of winners here. The big winner is Kevin Britten of Hays, Kansas. He wins a 17″ Powerbook, a 40GB iPod, and a gift certificate for 10,000 songs to fill the iPod with! So, Congratulations to Kevin, you lucky bastard…

Oh yeah.. and Internet Exploder’s market share is starting to go down, its dropped 1% since the latest IE vulnerability was announced…

King Arthur

We went to see this last night (we went to the last showing, since we took Kael with us)

And its a good movie… Keira is a hottie (of course) and definitely looked good in her half-naked warrior’s armor as Guinevere. Overall, I like it. Its a different take on the standard King Arthur tale. Its an attempt to look at the ‘real’ events that may have inspired the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

It does start a little slow, and the story is predictable in spots, but that’s to be expected when you’re telling/re-telling a story that almost everyone already knows. Since its only rated PG-13, even the love scene between Arthur and Guinevere is very tame (just head and shoulder shots for the most part.) Good movie, go see it. I’d give it 4 stars out of 5.

On a semi-related note, Keira states in this article that if she felt it was necessary, she would do a nude scene. Here’s hoping she decides its necessary in one of her next roles!
