Editor's Note
INTERMISSION|
Shed a tear. The final Intermission of the year is upon us. In the last few months, we’ve flicked off The Daily with Bob Saget, roundhouse kicked it with Chuck Norris, swashbuckled with Harrison Ford, gone to comic conventions, pissed off Berkeley “artists,” done some summer reading and created some of our own with the Annual Intermission Short Story Contest.
You need money... for a pimpin’ summer
INTERMISSION|
If you’re anything like me, you probably have no idea what your going to do this summer. There might be some of you out there who scored a wicked internship or some amazing job at a law firm or some other soul-sucking place, but many of you have a pretty open summer.
It's not as X-treme as you want
INTERMISSION|

WonderCon: Better Than Getting Shot In the Face Pt.I
INTERMISSION|
I love comic books.
That simple declarative statement begins the retelling of the single greatest day of my life. A day filled with capes, spandex and character defining moments for a young boy of twenty who daydreamed his childhood away under the fantasies of larger than life adventure stories.
Intermission sits down with Harrison Ford
INTERMISSION|
Life is good to Intermission. Some people go their entire life never crossing paths with a Hollywood celebrity, much less one renowned for films that make up our popular culture.
Firewall falls flat

Look ma! Intermission expanded my vocabulary!

The State of Hollywood: Shut up
INTERMISSION|
During the 2004 presidential election, Hollywood celebrities stuck their noses where they didn’t belong. Famous bimbos like Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears used their monumental minds to support the candidate they related to intellectually.

Infomercial Fitness Equipment
The Total Gym - sure, it might sound like a good idea at 2 a.m. on a Thursday morning, but you’ll probably think otherwise after making those bothersome “monthly payments of only $199” for three years straight while the thing collects dust in your garage.

Batman Begins
Judging from the trailer of Christopher Nolan’s (Memento) re-envisioning of Batman’s origins, every geek, nerd, dork and fanboy can finally get rid of the awful taste that piss-poor director Joel Shumacher left in their mouths with the travesty that was Batman & Robin.
