Face of a Franchise: Anakin Skywalker
[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]
In 1977, moviegoers were introduced to Darth Vader – an evil, robotic space-samurai capable of manipulating an invisible shroud of mystical energy that blankets the entire universe. Oh, and he also has a goddamn laser-sword.
In 1999, Jake Lloyd was given the opportunity to play the childhood incarnation of Darth Vader – a little boy named Anakin Skywalker. Lloyd comes across as an overly-optimistic, stiff, terribly scripted, and ultimately unaffecting playground-dweller.
In 2002 and 2005, Hayden Christensen took hold of the reins as he played the part of teenyboppin’ pre-Vader. Through his performances, Christensen proves that the Dark Lord of the Sith was once an unnecessarily moody, stiff, terribly scripted, and ultimately unsympathetic teenager.
It’s a question none of us want to think about…
Who’s better – Jake Lloyd or Hayden Christensen?
I can’t wait to see the comments on this one.
INFOGRAPHIC: A Visual Guide To Battlestar’s Timeline.
This infographic is handy for all you toaster-frakin’ newbies out there. If you can’t decipher the simple (ha!) and cleanly delininated (doubly ha!) timeline of Battlestar Galactica, than this will clear up any confusion.
Designer Billy Ray says:
I created this visual timeline of the Battlestar Galactica universe after the season 4, episode 17 “No Exit” data dump resulted in near aneurism for my friends and me. I later updated it to include key points from the “Caprica” pilot movie.
Billy, I appreciate the effort. The infographic is dope. But let us all combine hands, minds, and hearts, in willing the Caprica series, even it’s fucking pilot, out of existence.

Sony Gets Access To GeoHot’s PayPal Account; LOL Son!
I was amused by GeoHot for a bit. Dude stole the PS3’s soul when he made public to the world its root key. However, then the dude went all retarded issuing rap disses and stuff or whatever. Since then I’ve been clamoring to see him publicly pimp-slapped by an ace team of Sony roboninjas. Today I have gotten one step closer to having my wish fulfilled.
Sony was given access to GeoHot’s PayPal records.
Titan Has Methane Rainstorms and Floods. Awesome.
D.J. Caruso Talks ‘Preacher’, Shia LaBeouf Interested.
D.J. Caruso is directing Preacher. His previous works include stints on The Shield. Awesome. Disturbia. I liked it, I know fuck me. Eagle eye. Never saw it. And most recently, I Am Number Four. During the international press tour for I Am Number Four, he’s begun discussing this upcoming project. Most intriguing is the comment that Shia LaBeouf is interested in being in the Preacher movie, and dammit in a role that might just work.
Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Is A Sexy Ball Of Ice.
Darren Aronofsky No Longer Directing ‘The Wolverine.’
Darren Aronofsky has dropped out of the director’s chair for The Wolverine. In the blink of an eye, one of my more anticipated superhero movies has transformed into a movie I couldn’t give less of a fuck about.
The Riddler Is All Up In Batman: Arkham City.
The Riddler isn’t just some sidegame in Arkham City like he was in the first Batman game by Rocksteady Studios. No sir. According to Destructoid, The Riddler won’t be “just be taunting Batman this time around, but would have a physical presence in the world of Arkham City.”
Outstanding.
