Geekdom Madness: Semi-Final Right

All right now, just one more to go before the final showdown. But who's it gonna be?!?!?!

Geekdom Madness: Semi-Final Left Victor

I was not able to get on the computer last night, so sorry the poll was up longer than it should have been.

The Victor for the first Semi-Final, and the first competitor going to the final is....

Jar Jar Binks

"Mesa accept dis with muy muy humility!"

It was a 10 vote match that Jar Jar won 60%/40%. He licked Luigi. He has what it takes.

Here's the breakdown. Check Back Tomorrow!

Left Side Full!

My Troubled Relationship with Empire

(Originally Written for Jedi News)

When I submitted my first May the 4^th Saga reviews a year and a half ago, I maintained that Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back was my personal second favorite film of the Saga.

About a month later, it was my fifth favorite.

A few months after that, it was third.

Geekdom Madness: Semi-Final Left

Here it is folks, the Semi-Final! Just two short weeks until the deciding vote, but you all have to choose who gets there. This is crunch time! Only four remain, and only two can move on.

Let's begin!

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Childhood Dreams Victor

Well, let's skip the preamble.

The Victor for the final round of the Quarter-Final is.....
























(Victors Are...)

Calvin and Hobbes

"Surely you concede I deserve it!"

Out of 10 votes, C&H got 70% to Jack's 30%.

So starting tomorrow, we have our Semi-Finals. Let's reintroduce our Elite Four!

JAR JAR BINKS

ARIEL

LUIGI

CALVIN AND HOBBES

In the next two weeks, this Final Four will be whittled down to the Final Two, and after that, There Can Be Only One! 

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Whew!

 

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Childhood Dreams

Welcome to the last Quarter-Final. After this week, we'll have our "Elite Four" for the Semi-Final, but this one will be a toughie.

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Foils Victor

Another unexpected turn!

The Victor for the third round of the Quarter-Final is:

Luigi

"Here we go!"

Out of 14 votes, Luigi received 64% of the vote, while Indy only got 36%. This competition is constantly surprising me even in the late game, which is awesome.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Was it the death glare?

Rebels: A First Watch

(Originally Written for Jedi News)

No doubt many have seen much of the pre-release material for Disney’s “Star Wars: Rebels” over the last year – including sneak previews. Not to mention the ever-churning rumor mill.

Naturally, I have not, for reasons similar to what I wrote some weeks back regarding my attitude for the new films. I’ve seen nothing but some promotional artwork. When I fired up my DVR the other day after it had recorded the Rebels “movie” (really just an hour-long pilot), I was going in blind.

I was also going in with a little trepidation. I knew Dave Filoni would do well, but the grief of “Clone Wars”’ untimely end was still too near. Greg Wiseman had already created two shows that are amongst my favorites of all time, and yet he (supposedly unwittingly) retweeted anti-prequel sentiments. But I’m here constantly preaching that one should not judge without giving it a chance, so I had to put my money where my mouth was. I took a deep breath, and pushed play.

Potential spoilers from this point forward, so consider yourselves warned.

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Foils

Yeah, I was looking forward to this the least.

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Tall Tales Victor

Forget what the last round was called, THIS is the real game!

The Victor for the second round of the Quarter-Finals is.....

Ariel

"I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something's starting right now!"



Out of 13 votes, Ariel got 62% to Gandalf's 38%. Maybe he'll return as the White next time?

 

 

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Just full of surprises
