Owen Lars & The Real Grrrrrrrrr

Warrior
The Pity of Brotherly Hate
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
PG-13 | 140 min

The trailer looked awful.  It has a British bloke (Tom Hardy) and an Australian mate (Joel Edgerton) doing Baaaaahston accents in a movie that takes place in Pennsylvania.  Nick Nolte is only allowed to yell in maybe 2 or 3 scenes.  It’s about one of the dumbest sports in the world – robot boxing mixed martial arts.  This movie has ‘we don’t want to see it whatsoever‘ tattooed all over it.  Wellllllll, what we juss said can all be found within Warrior, and YET, despite all of that lamefoolery, it is nearly impossible to root against Gavin O’Connor‘s Miracle in a cage.  Give it a fighting chance and you may walk away thinking it’s a winner.  It is, even if it’s as pedestrian as a bunch of pedestrians crossing over a pedestrian crossing.  But who cares what accents Bronson and Uncle Owen are misappropriating? Those guys are awesome!!  And they play brothers!!!  Who have to beat the crap out of each other for money, and honor, and money!!!  And their dad is Nick Nolte!!!!  And Nick Notle is THE BEST!!!!!!  WARRIOR!!!!!!  GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Hottie By Default: Jennifer Morrison‘s been in stuff before, but we’ve never taken notice, but being the only woman in a movie with nothing but sweaty dudes sweating makes you like mad super hottier than you normally is, cause if she was an un-sweaty woman in a movie filled with sweaty women, we’d probably still not take notice of her.  congrats JM, you are now an official TWS Film Hottie!

Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers

Wookiee boobs are just plain wrong AND also un-plain wrong

Around the time preceding the broadcast of the [Star Wars] Holiday Special, Kenner had in mind a line of toy tie-ins based on characters from the show. It was probably assumed that the Special would be much more successful than it was, and that kids would be clamoring for new toys from the TV show. In the end, Kenner wound up scrapping the whole thing, either because the show was a disappointment, or (according to a Tomart’s Action Figure Digest article) because the selling window was too small

However, at least a couple of items did make it to the drawing board or prototype stage – a complete set of the Chewbacca family action figures. Chewbacca was the standard Kenner figure, and the prototypes for Itchy and Malla were created by altering two more standard Chewbacca figures. The smaller figure of Lumpy was actually built around a Fisher Price family action figure, whose distinctive bent elbow pose can be seen in the photos.

In the end, Kenner technically produced no specifically Holiday Special-related products
