Darren Hayes, Savage Garden Lead Singer, Remembers 'Star Wars' Christmas (VIDEO)

Happy holidays! Before the entire world seemingly winds down to holiday hours -- seriously, if you're at work, you're probably alone -- take three minutes out of your "busy" day to watch this clip from Darren Hayes about what 'Star Wars' meant to him as an 8-year-old. Spoiler alert: you will cry. Buckets. Maybe more than that Hallmark commercial that always makes you cry. This is sweetness cubed. Hayes, who later became the lead singer for Savage Garden (don't act like you're not a fan), has a new album out. The video is scored with one of his songs. Happy Christmas, indeed!

More from Clara's special dayReaders of George RR Martin will recognise the saying "red-colored wedding", however the Freys and also the Starks never quite needed to deal with anything such as this. The 3rd instalment within the Rec franchise,Genesis, is nearly here, heralding two new trailers detaiing the carnage at Leticia Dolera's "big dayInch.They are similar, but less than exactly the same. A clip up at Bloody Disgusting may be the British-subtitled version, which creates the premise from the distributing undead infection, has untidy deaths and jokes, and does a great job of showing this film's breaking-out of the series' signature handheld POV to some more conventional widescreen style. But it is tame in comparison towards the The spanish language-language version, up at Shock, that has military intervention and chainsaws.Rec 3: Genesis is really a prequel towards the previous two records, filling out the rear-story about how exactly the catholic-zombie-rabies infection "left your buildingInch: your building under consideration apparently being this wedding venue. The way it got inside to begin with is yet another question. Maybe it had been the fish mousse. The hyperlink as to the continued for the reason that loft within the apartment building of Rec and Rec 2 also remains to appear, however the series continues to be so absolutely mad to date that we'll most likely accept anything.Together with these Dolera, the film stars Javier Botet, and it is directed by Paco Plaza, who's 1 / 2 of they behind another two. His cohort Jaume Balaguero continues to be focusing on Rec 4: Apocalypse simultaneously. You are able to most likely infer in which the series is headed. Or really, most likely not...No date for Apocalypse yet, but Genesis, a minimum of in The country and France, has gone out early in the year.

'The Dictator' Trailer: Sacha Baron Cohen Involves America as Overcoming Conquerer

"Ah, America the birthplace of Helps." So states Sacha Baron Cohen's tyrannical titular ruler within the amusing first trailer for 'The Dictator,' which combines facets of 'Borat' and 'Bruno' right into a apparently classical narrative in regards to a dictator "who risks his existence to make sure that democracy would not arrived at the nation he so lovingly oppressed." That apparently means going to the U . s . States for encounters with everybody from the government bureaucrat vulnerable to 9/11 jokes (John C. Reilly) to some for-purchase Megan Fox, as herself, who is not interested in accepting rubies for sexual favors. "What shall we be held, a Kardashian?" Fox sneers. Not a chance! It's doubtful Kim, Khloe or Kourtney might have the the ability to lead to spoof themselves so gloriously onscreen. Directed by frequent Cohen collaborator Ray Charles, 'The Dictator' -- with Cohen, Fox, Reilly, Ben Kingsley and Anna Faris -- comes to theaters next May.
