The biggest independent film of the year comes out today. I really do hope it's good.

It seems that so long as you're willing to pay truckloads of cash, Darth Vader/Anakin will endorse your product, from soda-pop beverages to candy. Have you seen the cute yellow M&M standing with a lightsaber beside the Sith Lord? Does it not occur to the corporate suits that they are tying up with a film whose main character SUCCUMBS TO EVIL AND THE TEMPTATIONS OF POWER AND RUTHLESSLY MURDERS PRETTY MUCH HIS ENTIRE BROTHERHOOD!?!? Now have some candy, kids. They're yummy.

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE! Go to Saguijo sometime soon to catch the 4-man exhibit Kantutan Sa Ulan, featuring new work by RA Rivera, Jun Sabayton, Lyle Sacris, and Vincent Van Gogh in a surprise participation.
