What Do You Get a Balrog for Christmas
(when he already has a tomb)?
I had the pleasure of finally hearing Meco's Christmas with the Stars a couple nights ago and the gears are already spinning in me 'ead. The Lord of the Rings actors need to get together and remake this, converting the Star Wars references into Middle-Earth ones. And as a special bonus, they need to include a hidden track at the end: Ian McKellen doing a recitation of The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, over the music from Leonard Nimoy's version BUT with Shatnerized (i.e. spoken word) vocals.
For me, the whole gag would be for them to do it on the sly, w/o Peter Jackson's knowledge, and then present the first copy to him for next Christmas.
"But then, why should anyone listen to me, or should I speak, since I know nothing?"

I smell a lawsuit
(either that or I stepped in something...)
From the commercials for Rumor Has It..., I was beginning to think it was based of the premise of "What if the Graduate was a true story only presented as fiction?". Well, the plot outline on IMDB confirms my suspicions. And I, for one, am OUTRAGED!!
This is an obvious and total rip-off of the nigh-legendary film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, the premise of which is....

"What if Orson Welle's 'War of the Worlds' was a true story only presented as fiction?"!!!!
Warner Bro.s, Rob Reiner and Ted Griffin should be ashamed of themselves and have their collective pants sued off. I'll let Jennifer Aniston keep her pants, only 'cause she's already been having photographer issues and what with Brad's carousing... And, well, it's the holidays.
I know I have a problem with acting overly magnanimous this time of year; I really ought to seek treatment for it.
