When asked if she thought if universities stifle writers, Flannery O'Connor said that in her opinion they don't stifle enough of them. The same thing can be said of Canadian artists, since their government appears to write large checks to fund anyone. There is something to be said about knowing that, if it'll take me

But why? It's not like Johnson is actually getting paid for writing this.

Or that Anakin was a general who led armies and thwarted evil time and again and then suddenly was reduced to being played by Hayden Christensen. Seriously, if that's canon then canon has issues.

irascible love of smoking guns and meat … so this is The Birdcage 2?

You lost me at Dan Aykroyd. Blues Brothers 2000? Coneheads? Caddyshack II?
