TOP CHEF ALL STARS Spoilers

Didn't get to the ep until this morning. I will say only this about it: It is the best episode of Top Chef. Ever. Period. If you haven't already seen it, see it.

Seriously. I even like Mike this week.

Next week: The Bahamas, and the Finals.

STAR WARS EP 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE in 3D

I am so not there.

Now you're just grabbing for all the fucking money you can, George. Remember saying that, after Ep 3, you wanted to make some "little films"? I do. I remember thinking at the time that you would never again make a little film, because after all these years of riding at the head of a marketing juggernaut the likes of which the world has never seen, you couldn't stop.

George? Let me clue you in: A lot of people aren't all that thrilled with 3D technology when it works properly. The retro-fitted shit has destroyed movie franchises in the cradle. And you want to give us Jake Lloyd and Jar-Jar in 3D? That 3D?

Now, more than ever, George Lucas needs someone to tell him "no".

Sigh. Okay. If you could make a favorite book or comic or TV show or animated series into a 3D movie, a good 3D movie, would you? And, if so, which one? I could deal with a done-right tale of Babylon 5 during the Shadow war -- just for the spaceships. And maybe Claudia Christian.

The Nice Guy, The Reasonable One

Yep, that's Mike Huckabee. Just the most gosh-darn friendly fella you could imagine.

Y'know, Dan Quayle got all up in Murphy Brown's face back in 1992. And it helped him and George Bush lose an election.

If people just quit worrying about what other people did with their reproductive systems, the world would be a much saner place.
