Milo Ventimiglia Is a Huge F**king Nerd
I am not a big Milo Ventimiglia fan. I’m not sure his wooden performance on Heroes is really his fault?he has to deal with the script and characterization he’s given, after all, and Peter Petrelli is quite the gullible idiot?but I’m crotchety enough that I think it’s skeezy that he’s dating the 12 years younger, barely legal Hayden Panetierre. However, it’s hard not to find Milo somewhat likable after this fan video he made, of himself and some friend literally just playing with lightsabers?a last-minute entry into the Star Wars fan video contest I mentioned yesterday. And he calls it “Lighsaber Wars,” which is awesomely terrible. Enjoy.
