The most successful movie maker in history…is dead. Gerard Damiano, director of Deep Throat, quite possibly the most well known and successful adult films ever, has died.

Not so much movie news…
A nice xmas present for me…the girls at Totally Nerdcore are at it again this year with a 3rd installment to the Nerdcore calender series. The first year was video games, the next, superheroes and now they are doing Sci-Fi.
Quite possibly every nerd’s fantasy come to life. Cosplay Leia’s in Jababa Slave gear having a pillow fight.
The coolest Millennium Falcon cake…ever.
Jason and I agree about Joaquin Phoenix - we love him, but do like his voice….
