The latest Star Wars film has come and gone. As far as I am concerned, it was just a poor revamp of previous episodes; someone lost in the desert, an orphan with no friends, an alien bar and a resulting fight, a death star. Nothing new there then, heck, the X-wings weren't even updated!
The three components of the opening sequence: the phrase "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....", the Star Wars logo and the opening crawl, from the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
But what if they changed the opening to be more like a Bond film? Would it lose it's cachet?
The video below is an awesome interpretation of what that may have looked like if they had done it for The Empire Strikes Back.

Try And Beat That James
I was originally going to write solely about an amazing singer, Haley Reinhart, who has made many appearances on YouTube on a channel called Postmodern Jukebox.
She is pretty awesome, and with 10s of millions of views, I'm not the only to think so:
And then my favourite late night show host, James Corden had an EPIC Carpool Karaoke.
Enjoy them all!!

Anti-Semitism. Who, what and why?
There has been a significant rise in anti-semitism in the UK recently, as well is in mainland Europe.
Finally one of the main political parties had to suspend a few of their Members of Parliament due to their anti-semitic positions.
I cannot understand this hatred of another religion for no obvious reason. As someone who is very pro-Israel, I cannot understand why it gets picked on so much in the UN and on campuses across the world.
Howard Jacobson explains why. A real eye-opener and fascinating to listen to.

Whats Next?
Summer is just around the corner. Honest!
You know what that means? Films and tv shows coming back. Oh yeah!
Unless you're on Netflix of course, in which case, just watch the whole season of whatever you want in one binge session. My recommendations for Netflix are: Sherlock, Longmire, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.
Films that I'm excited about are really just this one, because, hey, Bad guys v Bad Giys - does it get any better?
Here is the Game of Thrones latest trailer, just because I can!

Star Wars - Rogue One"This is a rebellion isn't it? I rebel!"

What Is Faster - Car or Plane?
Well, a plane, obviously. Except that we're talking about a Boeing 737 vs. a Tesla Model S.
Seriously, if the car has a setting 'ludicrous' you should look out!
Tesla doesn't stop there, According to VentureBeat, they received 300,000 solid orders in 3 days for the new Tesla 3.
With a cash deposit for each car at $1,000 Tesla just made $300,000,000.
Well done Elon Musk. A true hero of today.

Awesome Music Videos of 2015
As always, this generation know nothing!
In my day we needed a pencil to rewind the cassette tape. We had to know how to clean the needle on a record player.
It isn't a lot of spend on the videos that makes them awesome - but they do know how to rock a music video.
Here are my top 5 of 2015
5. Laser-eyed robot sharks. Basketballs on fire. Some serious swearing in this one too!
4. Macklemore is always exciting and interesting. This video is no exception. A real 80's twist to a 2015 original.
3. Some awesome remaking, on a budget, of some other music vids from all time
2. Puppets. Shiny dancers. Missy Elliot and Pharell Williams - so you know its going to be crazy!
1. Sia - Elastic Heart
Choreographed to perfection. Acting is electric. Music is addictive too.
