My first reaction to this story about a Terrorist who was caught in a plot in London, Ontario was: “Huh? I didn’t know there was a Canadian Idol, eh?”
Actually, there is. It’s been on for six seasons. Shows you how much I care about this genre. I would hope their judges aren’t as flamboyant as ours are. Perhaps our good Canadian readers can fill me in, eh.

While we’re waiting for the election results, here’s a kick-a** Pro-USA and Anti-Оба́ма music video:

Not even John Wayne.
They’re going to remake True Grit, of all things. They’re casting Jeff Bridges in the role of Rooster Cogburn. Bridges is a fine actor in his own right. But remaking this classic Western is yet another sign of Hollywood’s destitution of ideas.
They’ll probably do to Cogburn what they did to Jim Phelps: turn his character upside down.
And guess who’s playing Glen Campbell’s character: Yeah…Matt Damon of the Film Actors’ Guild. I sure hope Wayne is in Heaven; he’s probably cryin’ up a storm over this.

I don’t think I’ve seen this particular version. Now that I have a camcorder, I’m going to have to set some footage to classic tunes such as this:

I think we’re going to see more and more anti-Оба́ма recordings such as this as his term progresses:

HAT TIP: The Osprey

DANG! It took me long enough to find this classic:

After the sloppy Final between Spain and The Netherlands (which Spain won, BTW, 1:nil), I’m surprised this isn’t a reality:

I’m glad Zynga has a sense of humor involved here. So far I’ve got the Goalie and Tiebreaker, I’m not so sure I’ll get the Penalty Kick.

While I’m subjecting myself to some horrible schlock airing on Skiffy, allow me to subject you to some real music…in this case, The Blues Brothers:

HAT TIP: Bunk X

I remember the anime series Space Battleship Yamato (marketed in the US as StarBlazers) back in the day. Now they’re planning a live-action version. Here’s the Trailer:

HAT TIP: BolianAdmiral

I had no idea Donald Pleasance, he who played Ernst Stavro Blofeld, was so hard up for money thirty years ago. Until BolianAdmiral sent me this:

My head truly aches from seeing just this trailer!

High Hopes, by Pink Floyd:

Now this is some great news: Frank Miller returning to the milieu of ‘300’ with a prequel pic about Xerxes, the Persian king who was the Spartans’ main enemy at the Battle of Thermopylae.
In case you may not recall, Iran was pissed off at the movie for its portrayal of Xerxes as a pre-Islamic metrosexual. Remember the Battle Burqas? I find it ironic that those particular Mohammedans despise anything pre-Islamic…until it suits them do otherwise.
Miller says he has no apologies for moving forward. GOOD. I look forward to seeing it.

Dang it! Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite actors, and yesterday he turned 80!

HAT TIP: Hud

In tribute to someone who went through a lot before his passing, I’m re-posting this parody:

Sorry it’s a little late this week…I first heard this song on John Doremus nearly twenty years ago:

Put that in your pipe and smoke it….
