Star Wars Week: Day 3 - Spoiler Wars

You might have heard there's a new Star Wars movie opening this week. You may have also heard/read/seen just about every major plot point from the movie.

Books, comics, toys, video games, soundtracks and other related merchandise, which hit shelves over a month ago, reveal most of the storyline of the final chapter in the Star Wars saga. (I read the novelization a month ago!).

USA Today (which has a survey on the left-hand side of the page that could also be considered a spoiler!) covers the issue here.

No More Riddles: Frank Gorshin R.I.P.

On Tuesday, actor/impressionist Frank Gorshin passed away. He was 72. He was, of course, best known as "The Riddler" on the 1960s Batman series, playing the character with such glee that the character once again became popular in the comics.

His last TV appearance will be on Thursday's CSI season finale, playing hiimself, alongside Tony Curtis. He will be heard as the the voice of Prof. Hugo Strange in upcoming episodes of the Kids' WB/Cartoon Network's The Batman cartoon. He recently appeared in the TV movie Return to the Batcave, which was released this week on DVD.

He also recently expertly played George Burns in a one-man show, proving even in his later years he was much more than the Riddler.
