We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Looks like Crossroads 20 has it. Can't speak to the Serenity trailer aspect.

You know, I just saw today that there was a TV show in development called "Revved" by the guy who wrote Sorority Boys about a couple of brothers in NC NASCAR country working out of a chop shop and fighting corruption... funny how that didn't make it to pilot.

I'm torn on DoH the Movie. Kinda want to see it, kinda am horrified by Jessica Simpson as Daisy. Kinda am aware that "Dukes of Hazzard purist" is a ridiculous thing.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

The way they deal with the stars & bars on top of the General Lee in order to keep away the cries of perpetuating racism is worthy of an eye-roll: Apparently the General gets banged up and a bunch of southern rednecks fix it up for the Duke boys. The rednecks end up painting the Confederate flag, after which, no doubt, the Duke brothers will shrug their shoulders and wink at the camera. Not that I think there's a better way to deal with it--I just don't like that it needs dealing with at all. It's possible this'll be a fun flick, but it's just another TV remake the idea of which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'm just a crusty bastard about the TV remakes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Which makes one wonder why someone would call an orange car without the Confederate flag on it the General Lee.

Maybe in this version Bo and Luke are Chinese History scholars and devotees of General Li Tsung-jen?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I actually think Johnny Knoxville is a really good actor. He is excellent in a small role in Lords of Dogtown.

That being said, I don't think the movie is going to be any good.

Matt, did you have that knowledge in reserve, or did you Google for the joke?

I remembered hearing his name in some documentary show about Taiwan, but I had to google the link.

I may have to seize the cat.

Hey, we're not all bad.

There are even some raving liberals floating about, although you have to look hard, because we tend to hide out of fear self-preservation.

Also, cities and university towns in the South are much less Dukes-of-Hazzard-y than the more rural areas.

I think I worked where this was set. No really.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My co-worker (who is really into shows like "Judging Amy" and "Touched by an Angel") would be the last person I would imagine getting into Firefly, but when I told her about getting tickets for Serenity, she expressed an interest in the DVDs. I'm loaning her the first disc, just to see what she thinks of it. She was a fan of Doctor Who back in the day (another big surprise for me!), so I might be getting another toaster!
