Slapstick With Sleestaks In New Land Of The Lost [Land Of The Lost] (2)
on io9 (3092) permalinkThe new big-screen Land Of The Lost movie will be a bizarre treat that actually satisfies fans of the 1970s original. You can take it from no less an authority than Juno scripter Diablo Cody, who visited the set. Her descriptions of the filming, in the current Entertainment Weekly, do sound intriguing (but campy.) And just like co-creator Mel Brooks was heavily involved with the recent Get Smart movie, LotL creators Sid and Marty Krofft ...Shared by Jakob (148) Verdi (26)

Obama Campaign’s Out Of Control Spending Belies His Claim To Be A “Frugal” Campaigner (1)
on Say Anything (101) permalinkJamie Snyder writing for the Weekly Standard makes a point about Obama’s campaign spending that I’ve been making for a while. With a burn rate of $42 million a month, Obama’s campaign can just barely sustain its current levels of spending. And what’s leftover may not be adequate to run the kind of campaign he needs to win. Just consider despite all the money he’s raised, Obama has been outspent on television by 3 to ...Shared by Jakob (148)Contribute comment
