Han Solo Pop Art Wallpaper


In honor of TeeFury's featured shirt posted just minutes ago (and viewable above this post), I thought I'd share a cool, little-seen Han Solo wallpaper with everybody. At some point during the last decade or so, StarWars.com featured a few pop art/Andy Warhol-inspired Star Wars wallpapers. I can't seem to find them now, but I do remember scouring the Web for the Han Solo wallpaper back in 2007. I was successful, and I found it in my wallpapers folder today. It's the one posted above; enjoy!

Full Spidey Suit and Official Title Revealed


It's official: Sony announced today that Marc Webb's new Spider-Man movie will be titled The Amazing Spider-Man. Though not all that unpredictable, I think the title is just about perfect, especially since Webb and company seem to be sticking to the comics a bit closer.

Additionally, we have the first official picture of Andrew Garfield in full costume, mask and all. I think it looks absolutely amazing. The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters on July 3, 2010. Bring on the trailer.

"Community": The Best Show on Television


With "LOST" off the air for good and AMC's "Breaking Bad", "Mad Men" and "The Walking Dead" all between seasons, I found myself in the market for a new show to obsess over. I watched NBC's "Community" through its Christmas episode back in 2009, but I never picked it back up when it returned to the air after that. Watching the show now is a testament to how stupid a decision that was on my part. Much like "LOST", "Community" features a plethora of likable characters and perfect performances from the actors playing them. It's also wickedly hilarious.

For a taste of what "Community" has to offer, watch some of my personal favorite episodes like "Contemporary American Poultry" (a wonderful parody of Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas), "Cooperative Calligraphy" (poking fun at stereotypical and requisite "bottle episodes"), "Epidemiology" (the zombie episode) and my personal favorite, "Modern Warfare". And don't forget last year's claymation Christmas episode titled "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas". It's a holiday television classic.

I do not want to see "Community" go the way of "Arrested Development" and "Firefly", so I'm crossing my fingers for NBC to pick it up for a third season. Watch "Community" on Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC. Check out the official site by clicking here.

Oh, and check out the "Community"/Avengers mash-up picture I posted above. It was done by cartoonist Chris Schweizer, and it works very well as a wallpaper.
