Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks JSw.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The itty bitty pieces of 'sploded Heather head explode
Alright, in a truly dark humor moment you made me laugh out loud with this. You're a badass, Heather.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, thanks for having Airplane! stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
It's been so long since I've seen Airplane! that I don't get the connection.

Oddly, as I was flipping yesterday, I caught a soundbit about a hurricane disaster movie. Not sure if it is ready for release, or just an idea, but you bet they are probably rethinking it....

Because books.

I keep wondering if they're actually going to run that new show, Invasion. It's mostly about aliens, as far as I can tell, but the story begins with a hurricane.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

They've pulled the promos for it, at least. It'll probably run, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Andy just turned down a propmaster job on the new Costner movie because he didn't want to be away from his wife and kids for six months....in New Orleans. He would have been down there this week doing preproduction, so his choosing family over work was REALLY the right thing.

If anyone needs some horrified laughter (the good kind) take a look at the expressions. And the disclaimers: [link]

I'd forgotten about that one. A lot of the the heavily promo-ed shows (Invasion, Threshold, um...a president dying one. The Pentagon one) seem heavily predicated on OMGDISASTER. I wonder how well that's going to play now. In the face of the real thing, do you wanna watch fictional disaster (but the good guys will win mostly , unless network tv has radically changed) or something fuzzier like...I dunno? Sitcoms? Goofy reality shows? AFV?
