You really should spoiler font that first line, David! In fact, I'm gonna be stompy and do it for you. :P

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Mike Tyson did something else really funny recently, but i can't remember what it was... Maybe another fake trailer?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to assume there are two reasons neither The Rock nor Vin Diesel are playing Conan--they don't want to, or they were casting young. Because either of them would have rocked it, and Dwayne especially is one of the few actors I can see with the same physicality as the Guvernator at the time, but owning it and looking comfortable, which Arnold did not.
Plus either of them act better than Schwarzenegger did.

Good point. RAH wrote a ton of Conan stories: if they cast young, they can do another whole series of movies.

Spoof on The King's Speech, with the King swapped out with George W, and Tyson as the therapist - I think it was on Jimmy Kimmel's after-Oscar special. It was pretty darn funny.

On the downside neither of them would be able to mutilate the pronunciation of the word "lamentations" as spectacularly. IOW, I totally agree.

You know the best part about the Govenator's acting? Being able to tell your kids "it's not a tumor" just like he did in Kindergarten Cop. That plus quoting Scar "life's just not fair" are a couple of the up-sides of parenting.

Question I can't answer:
Does Empire Strikes Back stand well on its own as a movie?
