I need to figure out where I can get some of those "sleepy droid" costumes.
I got an e-mail from starwars.com asking me to complete a survey. Usually, any solicitiation for survey input gets immediately junked, but I am sometimes willing to provide feedback if I feel invested in the subject, and I do so for starwars.com.
So I followed the link and started in. I dutifully answered the first several questions, especially pertaining to Hyperspace, because I was once a member and no longer am. I thought it would be a good opportunity to let them know why I quit. (It costs too much, and its only concrete benefit is to get discounts on stuff from shop.starwars.com, which is already overpriced anyway.)
Then I grew skeptical as they asked me questions about the ages of my kids and my household income, but I realize this is the cross-promotional demographic gold that marketers love to get their mitts on. (And let's face it, starwars.com is strictly a marketing vessel that I gleefully submit to.)
Then after filling out what video game platform I use, and telling them whether I've been to Facebook or YouTube or any number of other properties, I began to grow weary, and realized that I was barely a third of the way through the survey. At which time I promptly closed the browser window and went back to what I was doing.
Survey designers: Don't forget the lesson of Aesop's dog and his bone. You were able to convince a usually uninterested party to give you some precious feedback (and demographic information). But you threw it all away when you asked for way too much.
Like every other Star Wars fanboy, I am highly anticipating the release of Fanboys. Here is a trailer/sneak peak of the film that was shown at Celebration IV:
(I love that you can hear the cheers of the audience when the protagonists run over the Star Trek statue.)
And here is a trailer (?) for a documentary (?) about the making of Fanboys:
Looks like great fun. Also, hard to go wrong with Kristen Bell in the gold bikini.
