Breakfast Links: Lucas v. Hollywood, Religious Write & 11 Best Foods
So. George Lucas. He’s doing this Clone Wars thing. The interesting thing about it, other than the fact that he felt the need to go back to the well yet again, is that he self funded it. It seems that this could have some knock on effects on Hollywood. Instead of pre-selling the idea to a studio (or whatever) and then being forced to work within their aesthetic, he did it all on his lonesome and went to the networks and said, “Here it is, boyos, take it or leave it.” And it, having jedi, was promptly taken. Of course, not everyone has the Skywalker Ranch and infinite money to do this, so who knows if anyone else will do the same. I mean, I do, I souped up my iMac and it freakin’ rocks now, but other people might not.
Moving along with this changing theme, this next one’s just odd. It turns out that the far-right seems to use auto-replace on their AP news feeds before publishing them. (via) Por ejemplo they change “Democratic Party” to “Democrat Party”, hahahah. Sigh. But check it, they also seem to change “gay” to “homosexual”, which I’m sure Tyson Gay (a sprinter) was psyched about when it turned his headline to “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials.” Awesome! Are you even allowed to do that? Change up the AP feed to whatever you want? If it was me, I’d run all the feeds through that Snoop Dogg izzle-ifier (which I can’t seem to find on the tubes anymore :( ) and that would make the news so much more cool!
Lastly, Lifehacker points at this NYTimes piece on the 11 best foods you aren’t eating. Newsflash for all you bitches, I am eating most of those foods. Please. When I was in Nuqui, pretty much all I ate for 5 days was cabbage and beets, and let me tell you, a steady diet of those best foods makes me the best person to be around, too. And I ate a bag of pumpkin seeds, too. So, you know, no early death for me. So suck it, New York Times, you don’t know me. . . . You never even write anymore.
