The OC and Episode III

First of all, it's 05-05-05... for three more minutes, that is. The next date this exciting will be... umm... 06-06-06, I guess. Or 07-07-07. Or 08-08-08. Or 09-09-09. But 6, 7, 8, and 9 are all boring numbers, unlike 5. But 10-10-10 will be cool. Very cool, in fact. Very very cool. Especially if you're a follower of Douglas Adams. Convert 101010 from binary to base ten, and you'll see why. :-D

(11-11-11 will also be cool for that matter, and the last time we'll have six of the same digit in a row for 11 years. That's eight elevens -- 11-11-11, last of its kind for 100 years, but then it'll even be seven 1's in a row. Too bad no one ever writes just the last three digits of the year.)

Anyway, that's a random rant. Tonight was two full hours of the OC, and it was jam-packed full of Episode III references! First of all, the new TV spot "To Protect You" showed for the first time on TV, as far as I know. It and its counterpart, "Seduction," can now be viewed -- along with tons of other trailers and ads, including some hilarious Pepsi/M&Ms/Pringles/etc. promotional ads -- on StarWars.com. Then it showed an ad for the Episode III videogame, the wonderful "Dodgeball" spot as viewable on the official ROTS videogame website. Then Seth and Ryan were playing the Episode III videogame. Finally, in a comic book store, there were Star Wars standees and ads in the background. :)
