My stupid cable company DVR-Tivo-ripoff never records The OC. It's programmed correctly, and it even shows that it recorded the show. But, it only records a black screen.

It only does that with The OC.
Each and every time.

When it happened last night, it was twice as annoying because I missed the big Star Wars 3 trailer embedded in the show. Luckily, the internet is there to "record" shows for me when I have trouble. A few clicks and I'm good. But I still needed to find the Star Wars thing.

The fanboy websites wouldn't link to the trailers online, out of fear of mucking up their good standing with Lucasfilm. I knew it would be all over the internet tomorrow...BUT I WANTED IT TODAY!

So, I turned to the one man I knew could help me: Hasser.

As, it turns out, he was up to the same thing. And after joining forces, we eventually tracked it down. His downloaded faster.



He was going all apeshit while I waited for mine to download. And, it didn't make the wait any easier watching-him-watch-the-trailer on his webcam.



But, eventually I saw it (again and again). I'm actually writing this post somewhere between my 15th or 16th viewing.



The trailer is pretty awesome. It seemed to me like Lucasfilm held a focus group and asked all these Star Wars dorks what they wanted to see in the last movie ("we want to see more people using lightsabers" and "we want more things getting cut up with lightsabers").

Okay, I gotta get some sleep - it's late (and kinda lame, considering I'm not really that into Star Wars anyway).
