Star Wars Blu-Ray Trailer: Released!

Great news: Star Wars is finally coming to Blu-Ray next month. Bad news: Episode I and effing Jar Jar Binks will be included in the release, and odds are George Lucas will not have removed some of the additional scenes he added to the early films to their detriment. Han shot first, George. Han shot first. Anyway, the Blu-Ray set does look awesome. Here’s the trailer: Star Wars Blu-Ray Trailer Over 40 hours of bonus features (such as deleted scenes) will be included, according to Movie Fanatic , along with the option to purchase only Episodes IV-VI. You know, if you really can’t stand Binks. Or an entire film about Darth Vader being a cute kid once. Or Hayden Christensen delivering seriously awful dialogue. We’re not bitter or anything.

Sarah Palin wants Obama to call her

(CNN) – Sarah Palin says its time for President Barack Obama to pick up the phone and make some calls – maybe even to her. In her latest post on Facebook, the former Alaska governor takes aim at the president for not speaking directly with BP CEO Tony Hayward during the ongoing Gulf Coast crisis. Obama told NBC Tuesday that he has not spoken with Hayward because “when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's gonna say all the right things to me – I'm not interested in words, I'm interested in actions.” Palin wrote that Obama's comments amount to “further proof that it bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office,” and added that the president should call experts who lived through the 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill in Alaska – including herself. “We've all lived and worked through the Exxon-Valdez spill,” she wrote. “They can help you. Give them a call. Or, what the heck, give me a call.” “Based on my experience working with oil execs as an oil regulator and then as a Governor, you must verify what the oil companies claim – because their perception of circumstances and situations dealing with public resources and public trust is not necessarily shared by those who own America's public resources and trust,” Palin added. In the lengthy Facebook post, the former vice presidential nominee also revives battles of the 2008 presidential campaign while targeting Obama's lack of executive experience. “My experience (though, granted, I got the message loud and clear during the campaign that my executive experience managing the fastest growing community in the state, and then running the largest state in the union, was nothing compared to the experiences of a community organizer) showed me how government officials and oil execs could scratch each others' backs to the detriment of the public, and it made me ill,” she said. added by: TimALoftis
