#rsrh Credit where it’s due to the View…

…yeah, I’m going to get people shaking their fingers at me for saying that.

(H/T Hot Air) Anyway, credit where it’s due to the View: they handled their response to Larry Flynt’s latest tired outrage (creating an obscene fake picture of conservative commentator SE Cupp) about as well as anybody could have expected them to.

Shut UP, Randall.

You are not being helpful.

(pause)

Well, actually, yes, you are being helpful.  Just not to me*.

…They’re remaking Total Recall?

Seriously, why?

I’m not even offended; I just don’t get the point.  As Do Gooder Press notes, this is clearly not “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” – which is fine; I liked the story, but it’s not really good action movie fodder.  And we already have a perfectly serviceable action movie called Total Recall.  Why bother doing a remake?

George Lucas finds last square inch of Star Wars not yet urinated upon.

Hey, did you ever want to see a Star Wars television series about its criminal subculture? …OK, maybe you did; maybe you didn’t; but the idea itself is not objectionable to you, I suspect. Well, it doesn’t really matter, because you’re going to get it anyway… maybe. It’s called “Star Wars: Underworld,” and they’re working on it:

“We’re at a complicated impasse right now,” [Star Wars producer Rick] McCallum told IGN. “We have… 50 scripts [that are] unbelievable. The most provocative, the most bold and daring material that we’ve ever done.”

I know that most of you are wincing at that last sentence, but there may be stubborn holdouts who somehow managed to save vs. stark revelation of sanity-destroying cosmic truth. Allow me to crush your souls.

McCallum added that Underworld will only enter production once George Lucas can make the show “at the cost of maybe $4 or $5 million an episode”.

“It’s what the Duke would do!”

‘It’ being ‘not using Memorial Day to sell stuff;’ the folks at Carol’s Western Wear are taking that Monday off to spend time with their families and honor the holiday.

It’s a good attitude to have.

Half a year to The Hobbit, more or less.

Please, God, do not let it suck.

Of course, if the rest of the song is as good as that, then it’s looking good for not-sucking. Easily my favorite bit of poetry from The Hobbit.

JRR Tolkien recites “The Hoard.”

I was looking for something else entirely, but never mind: this was much cooler anyway.

“Hotel California.”

Hotel California, Eagles

I still say that it’s about vampires.  But it can be about other things, too.
