Well, the story for the movie version of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is so unlike the original game that I’m no longer upset that Nathan Fillion isn’t starring as Nathan Drake. (LA Times) I was actually planning on watching it at one point in time. Now, I’ll wait until it hits network TV.

Here’s your interesting Star Wars factoid of the day: The TIE Fighter was originally going to be purple. Fortunately, technology prevented that from happening. (Gizmodo)

Back in the day, the NHL had some sort of promotional tie-in with the Muppets. Hell, I remember getting a Happy Meal toy of Kermit the Frog in skates wearing an NHL all-star jersey. Anyway, here are the Muppets’ NHL pins. (Gunaxin)

Here’s a link that’s probably more my usual speed but ties in nicely with being an entertainment link. A couple of celebs are running the Thunderhill 25 Hours and even filming for a TV series. (Willows Journal)
