This R2-d2 Popcorn/Drink Set Completes the Movie Experience
With HDTV’s practically available in vending machines these days, there’s little reason to actually go to the theater anymore. But for those who want the true moviegoer experience at home, you can’t stop there. There’s surround sound, a comfy reclining chair and perhaps most important of all, soda and popcorn with a price higher than the GDP of some third world countries. Sure, these Disney R2-D2 snack and drink holders are $50, but next to having your wife ask you, “Do you want butter topping?” with a pissed off look on her face, nothing will give you a more realistic home theater experience. And hey, authenticity has no price.

“Lightsaver” T-shirt is Perfect for Hippie Nerds
Sure, Lightsabers are pretty awesome, but they’re not really eco-friendly. Matthis Smit has come up with a simple solution – the Lightsaver. While it might not cut through human flesh or deflect blaster rifle fire, it uses one-fifth the power of a normal plasma blade. Wait, did we mention we’re just talking about a shirt, and not an actual product?
Video: Cat Fights Dog With Lightsabers
