The geek fest continues

Not to be confused with Star Wars, Star Trek comes to theaters on Friday. It could be worse. Atleast the boys are pretty. See the new Spock and Captain Kirk below.

Fans of either (or both) media empires will be quick to tell you they are NOT the same thing. There are books published about this sorta thing. But if you need a quick crib sheet, here you go:


Star Trek
Characters: Captain Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Lt. Hikaru Sulu (he changes rank depending on where you are in the story)
Famous lines: Live Long and Prosper, Beam me up, Scotty.
Bonus: Directed by JJ Abrams, who does Alias and Lost. Oh, and Winona Ryder plays Spock's mom.

Star Wars Characters: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Yoda, Chewbacca, C3PO, R2D2, Darth Vader Famous lines: May the Force Be With You, Luke, I am your father Bonus: See the arrested development link from our previous post.

Those clever geeks...

Today is Star Wars Day.

Above: Yoda and his light saber.

We know, it makes us want to open up a jar of cheez whiz and listen for the rim shot, too. But there's no denying that Star Wars has been a phenomenon for over 30 years. There's even an app that can turn your iphone into a light saber. But be careful, you could get too carried away and end up looking like this guy. Or, that classic clip from Arrested Development.
