So, later I hope to have a more thoughtful post, but for now, I present two glaring examples of geek hatred and love:
First, we have a moment captured in which a once geek god has become the ultimate geek devil. He acknowledges a major fuck-up, but one does get the sense he thinks it's quaintly funny...
If this doesn't make you want to find Lucas and pummel him to death with a box set of the prequels, then you are dead to me.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have an obvious expression of geek love and pain summed up in a moment of such extreme hilarity that it almost redeems the above atrocity.
Almost.

Anything that involves Deadpool blowing off the head of an admitted blasphemer makes up for a lot of stupidity in this life.
So says the Kumquat.

It occurred to me that the first photo looks like it's taking place on the "Crystal Skull" set, which makes it a double atrocity. Lucas knows his fans are unhappy and flaunts it, and then goes on to turn yet another beloved franchise into dreck. Ya'll do know he's wanting to do an Indiana Jones 5, right? I kept telling people he needed to be dropped into an oubliette after "Phantom Menace", but do people listen to me? Nooooo....
