Slave Leia Car Wash!

This story started making the rounds on the blogosphere a few days ago, but I was saving it for Friday. After all, why not ring in the weekend with footage of Slave Leias washing cars?

Last weekend, G4’s Attack of the Show teamed with the 501st Legion—an international Star Wars fan organization—for a charity car wash benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Indeed, the Force is strong with this one. Watch the video below.

Bill Murray Calls Ghostbusters 3 “Hogwash”

Sure, there has been a lot of news about Ghostbusters 3 over the last year or so, but it’s beginning to seem less and less likely the film will ever materialize. During an early March appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, series star Bill Murray dismissed the anticipated sequel as “crazy talk.” Later that month, Vulture reported that Columbia Pictures was trying to remove Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman from the project in favor of a younger director. So what’s the deal? Are we getting more Ecto Cooler or not?

In a recent interview with Cinema Blend, Murray once again trashed the idea of a third Ghostbusters flick, calling it a “myth.”

“All this talk is just talk,” he said. “Until someone actually creates a great script it’s just hogwash, it doesn’t mean anything.”

Reportedly, the writing team of Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (The Office) has already turned in a script. Has Murray not yet read the script, or was he just unimpressed with it? As Cinema Blend points out, these guys wrote the script for the abysmal Year One, so it’s very likely that what they came up with just wasn’t that good.

Heroes Might Return for a Final Season

It looks like Heroes could be getting yet another shot at redemption. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC is expected to order a 13-episode “final season” of the struggling superhero drama.

Honesty time: If I hadn’t been writing weekly Heroes recaps for Broken Frontier, I probably would have abandoned this series about midway through the third season. Had I done that, I would have missed out on a few cool moments peppered throughout season four, but I also would have spared myself the aggravation of some bizarre storylines and nonsensical character progression that rendered the series unwatchable at times.

If creator Tim Kring and the gang are really going through with 13 more episodes of Heroes—which might actually be kind of cool since last season ended with “specials” entering the public eye—let’s hope they’re serious about it.
