Hal Sparks: Vader's a Jerk	[14 Feb 2007\|04:40pm]
Just in time for "Hal-entine's Day -- I chat with comedian and actor Hal Sparks about his favorite Star Wars memories, building Hoth landscapes in the backyard, Sith Lord laundry tasks and why Darth Vader will never be his hero in the latest interview for the Star Wars Rocks series on the official Lucasfilm site starwars.com. Here's a short snippet:"I recall one afternoon building an entire landscape of Hoth with a crashed snowspeeder, my Millennium Falcon landing on it and all the Star Wars characters running around a tauntaun that had fallen on its side," Sparks continues. "I used all the baking soda in the house to make the snow -- four boxes worth. So when my mom came home to make cookies for a church function and discovered I used a key ingredient to do it, I obviously got into some trouble over that. But it was worth it because it looked awesome." Watching the films as much as Sparks has, most people might think his favorite scene would be an epic battle, or the dire moment when Han Solo is sinking in carbonite. They'd be wrong. "I love the scene where Yoda eats his food stick and for a moment you are wondering what exactly he's eating," Sparks says. "Because of that I thought in the future all we'd eat would be candy bars. And so I'm a firm believer that while Star Trek is probably responsible for cell phones, Star Wars is most certainly responsible for Power Bars." "I always wondered which one of the stormtroopers did Darth Vader's laundry," Sparks laughs. "Now that I think about it, it was probably one of the Royal Guards since they're his own personal attachés. Plus they probably know how to properly separate colors from whites since they wear those bright red robes. Could you imagine if they got one of their robes mixed in with Vader's robes? 'Why is everything purple?!' Now that would be worthy of a Force choke!" Read the full interview here:Hal Sparks: Vader's a Jerk

Are we ever gonna get DVDs?	[09 Nov 2006\|09:33am]
[ mood \| tired ] Any news on I Love the '80s DVDs? I must say, I'm thoroughly shocked that it's not out. I mean, I'm a broke college student who downloads everything, but I'd buy these DVDs in a heartbeat. This would be a great time to come out with them, too - they'd make a great holiday gift.

I met Hal Sparks!!!!	[11 Jun 2006\|05:37pm]
So, I know a lot of you don't care too much for him, but I just love Hal. My friend and I drove to Cleveland Thursday night, which is about 3 hours from us in Detroit, to see Hal's comedy show. He was so cute, and absolutely hilarious!!! After the show, we got to talk to him for a little while, I got a picture with him, and he even hugged me! We even met his mom (how sweet that she comes to his shows!). Anyway, I had a blast (it was well worth the drive), and I just had to share.( Picture Collapse )

Hi	[17 Mar 2006\|01:53pm]
[ mood \| irritated ] I'm new. Name's Star. I want to ask a question. I am having the most horrible time trying to find screencaps. Any screencaps from the series. Especially if anyone has I Love Toys. Thanks in advance.Here are some fave quotes from I Love the 80s:Hal Sparks: (on the Popemobile) Keep your Pope fresh! I think my Pope is spoiling!Michael Ian Black: He-Man was maybe the single most homoerotic cartoon ever devised.Jillian Barberie: Gag me with a spoon!Hal Sparks: How about something else... besides a spoon, ma'am?"Weird Al" Yankovic: I was going to ram into you, but since you've apparently got a baby on board, I'll try to hold back.Hal Sparks: (on Rain Man) A young man exploits his autistic brother for financial gain, then regrets it, but keeps the money. Welcome to the '80s!Michael Ian Black: (on the Berlin Wall falling) Who better to speak for the hopes of millions than Hasselhoff? Singing anthems, shaking his ass, talking to cars.
