Hmm… where to begin? How about 1 AM Saturday morning? That’s when I got up to get ready and go wait in line at the Orange County Convention Center to see first hand The Main Event interview between The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and the maker himself – George Lucas.

It was Day 2, and I was extremely excited for the day. Essentially, it was Mark Hamill day for me. I had originally planned on attending “The Sounds of Star Wars” Panel at 10:30 AM with the legendary Ben Burtt, but I ended up walking to the wrong stage. However, it ended up working out for me though, because the stage I walked to was going to have the Mark Hamill panel at 2:30, and the line was just starting to form. Needless to say, I claimed my place in line.

And so it begins. The first day of Star Wars Celebration V, while it did not contain the biggest events of the weekend (Friday and Saturday will be filled with those), it was still quite an eventful day. And just so you know, I do have pictures to show, however I forgot my USB cord for the camera to plug into my laptop, so I will have to update these posts later on in the week with actual photos.

It has been over five years since I attended my first Star Wars Celebration, which was Celebration III in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to that, I had never really considered going to a Star Wars convention before – but it was the year of the last live-action Star Wars film ever to be made, so I figured it was probably going to be quite an event and that I should go. Needless to say, the con exceeded my expectations and I immediately made up my mind that I would be going at least one more time if there were to be any more Celebrations.
I ended up attending Celebration IV in 2007 in Los Angeles on the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, and now I am currently in Orlando, Florida sitting in my hotel room with a friend and my dad, anxiously awaiting the long-anticipated Star Wars Celebration V to celebrate the recent 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.

PCM’s new friends over at We Got This Covered recently published an article which analyzes various theories and questions regarding the film Inception. While I tend to lean more towards the movie being pretty straightforward, it cannot be denied that there are other ways one could interpret various elements of the film.

That’s right folks. Twenty-five years ago today, on July 3, 1985, Back to the Future was released in theaters. While director Robert Zemekis has made great films since then (the Back to the Future sequels, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Forrest Gump, etc.), I think most everyone can agree that, out of all his films, this one is by far the most popular and most memorable by movie fans in general.

Almost every Saturday night, I get together with friends and family to watch episodes of The X-Files – projected onto a big screen (well, a wall actually). Sometimes, we follow it up with an old-school sci-fi or horror flick, but it seems that, as of late, we’ve been watching a lot of X-Files episodes! So, for your viewing pleasure, I’ve taken a few photos (to the best of my camera’s ability) of what a typical Saturday night looks like for us.

For those of you not in the know, a prequel to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film, The Thing is in the works, with actor Joel Edgerton (young Owen Lars from the Star Wars prequels) cast in the lead role. He recently sat down with Shock ‘Till You Drop to talk about the new film.

So apparently some people who have experienced the spectacular 3-D world of James Cameron’s Avatar “have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora,” according to CNN’s report from last week.
WHAT?!!!!
