Send it to Bogie.  He might do it.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I thought Iron Man was pretty good.

I think the real reason comic book movies are coming in now is that CGI these days allows them to show all the effects as they want to.  Most of those hero movies in the 70's were pretty lame by comparison.  Of course, the downside of CGI is making the movies feel completely unreal. 

I agree on Hollywood's general lack of creativity.  Comic book stories come with ready made plots and storylines for the first movie and sequels.

Back on the original topic, there is absolutely nothing new about Hollywood elites falling in love with the liberal candidate.

And nothing new about George Lucas selling myth.  I think he has Obama confused with Gilgamesh and Beowulf.

Most of the Obama supporters aren't educated enough for that.  I think they see Obama as Rufus, Bill, and Ted all roled into one, but instead of the Wild Stallions, it will be his Presidency that will bring the universe into harmony. 

Surely, all of you have heard of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  Cheesy

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

"We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama," Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Wouldn't that be like someone over 50 saying Brett Favre was their childhood hero?

Does any image illustrate so neatly the wrongheadedness of the Obama administration than Americans scrambling in terror from Air Force One?
Just great…Chicago politics has spread to all 57 states.
They told me if I voted for John McCain, my country would look like it is run by people with a disturbing affinity towards fascism. And they were right!

The only thing heroic in Barack is his uncanny ability to avoid Michelle's rolled-up NY Times.  He's back to smoking cigarettes, I hear.  He's done with the greenies.

Yeah, I heard he fell off the Nicorette wagon today.  Stress getting to him?
