I like Mark Wahlberg.  I mean what’s not to like?  He acts the same in every movie, except maybe The Happening, in which he didn’t act at all (don’t worry, Mark.  No one acted in that one).  And who can forget his humble early days as Calvin Klein underwear model/white rapper with his “Funky Bunch?”  Let’s face it, we all dig getting a good laugh out of ol’ Marky Mark every once in a while.  Here’s the latest from last Saturday’s SNL, Andy Samberg nails the impression!

See Clone Wars, you must

Well, the jury came to a stunning conclusion on the Star Wars: Clone Wars film shortly after it hit theaters.  The general public, and traditional Star Wars fans hated it.  I made my point on Hey! Media about how if you look at the film through a different perspective, that of a kid, it was actually not bad.  So the movie was a setup for this TV series which premiered on Cartoon Network.  I have to say, I was quite impressed.  The scores from the original films are being used, or either variations of them.  A lot of the cool themes that made Star Wars so engrossing are back.  Awesome action sequences, a sense of mystery with the force, excellent visuals, etc.  Sure, it has it’s shortcomings.  The Separatist Droids comic relief can be pretty annoying at times.  Many will probably criticize the animation and call it blocky and what not.  I thought the animation was nicely done.  Getting to see Yoda fight again was a pretty kick ass moment as well.  I think the idea with this was to make Star Wars accessible to a younger generation of fans. My generation grew up on the original trilogy.  These kids will grow up on this TV show.  That will interest them in seeing the original films and open their eyes to the whole epic universe that is Star Wars.  Lucas has done it again.  Do yourself a favor and catch Clone Wars every Friday night at 8PM CDT on Cartoon Network.
