Check Six

The Corsair Leader campaign released the images of the personalized pilot cards for the game, including mine.

Behold!

Since I was about 11 or 12, when I first built that 1/72 scale model F4F Wildcat ($2 from Woolworth’s in downtown San Francisco), I always wanted to pilot one of these.

This is about as close as I’ll get, I suppose, and my cardboard doppelganger will be fighting the good fight against the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II.

I can’t wait.

Rebels End

It was a very satisfying ending.

I will certainly miss this series, more than I miss The Clone Wars.

I still say that Rebels is better than Clone Wars.

And I so hope the ending does dovetail into whatever Dave Filoni plans to do next.

Christopher Robin

I always thought I was named after Christopher Robin, until I was told that I was named after an uncle who I had never met until my sister’s 18th birthday party shindig.

I heard about Disney’s plans to make a live action film a while ago, but didn’t think they ever actually would do it.

Yeah, right.

Today they released a teaser poster, so I went to see who is starring in this movie.

Holy crap, Ewan McGregor and Haley Atwell!

And Peter Capaldi is the voice of Rabbit!

And that description…

In the heartwarming live action adventure Disney’s Christopher Robin, the young boy who loved embarking on adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with a band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.

I guess I’m going to go see this one.  I think I need to see this one.
