Morning Meme: "Gatchaman" Is Not a Sarah Palin Interview, Bryan Safi Unedited, plus "High Society" Lives (and I Blame You)

Who's richer than Richie Rich, Puss In Boots steps out, what is Inception, and Russell T Davies, please step away from the series.

O.K., there are many things I don’t know about Twilight, but ranking way up there is the fact that sparkly vampire daddy Carlisle Cullen is worth $34.1 billion thanks to compound interest over the 370 years of his life. This ranks him as the wealthiest fictional character, higher than Scrooge McDuck ($33.5 billion) and even Richie Rich ($11.5 billion). Most amazingly, Forbes paid someone to figure this out and published it.

 Alan Cumming has dropped out of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark in favor of his expanded role on The Good Wife. And the fact that the show actually exists.

George Washington could not tell a lie, and he also couldn’t return his library books. It turns out that our first president owes the New York Society Library over $300k in fees and interest for books due November 2, 1789. Maybe he can hit Carlisle Cullen up for a loan?

The man who greenlit Spartacus:Blood and Sand over at Starz has been canned. Actually, according to reports, it’s a bloodbath over there right now. Speaking of Spartacus, it scored near series highs Friday night, and may actually set a new high when the finals are in.

InfoMania’s Bryan Safi sat down to be interviewed by The Bilerico Project’s Waymon Hudson. He’s funny and delightful, and more than a little foul-mouthed.

Bond 23 is on hold indefinitely due to MGM’s money problems, which are epic. The bad news is that this probably kills or stalls The Hobbit from Peter Jackson, since that hadn’t even been approved by MGM.

The CW has greenlit a new season of High Society, which will shoot in the Hamptons over the summer. The only redeeming part of this news is that the network has decided Tinsley Mortimer needs friends that aren’t quite so repulsive. Mind you, Tinsley didn’t think she needed new friends, the network did.

Time has a bizarre photo essay on strange museums around the world including Bananas, Ramen, Hair, and Penis. This is why people don’t take road trips any more.

I’m including the link to this story about Christopher Nolan’s Inception because some of you have a perfectly justified crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and he does battle in some of the rotating hallways. Reading the article is a waste of time, because I still don’t understand what the movie is about.

Well, there’s some place on earth where gays aren’t blamed for every little thing that happens, like Iran (because they don’t have homosexuals there). But they do think that extramarital sex and women who dress inappropriately cause earthquakes.

There’s a picture of Sheldon with the female version of Sheldon (Mayim Bailik) on The Big Bang Theory. If they make Sheldon sexual, I’m going to hate having to stop watching the show.

I hope this is just The Mirror being The Mirror, but they’re claiming that Dreamworks intends to spin off Puss from Shrek into its own movie series. Not only do they intend to do this, Antonio Banderas has already recorded the first round of audio for the first movie. I know people get upset when I (jokingly) advocate violence against cats (before they commit it against us!), but can we agree that this CGI cartoon cat needs killed?

A 58-year-old man who lives with his sister in Texas is attempting to rank nearly 10,000 films by actually watching them. Except he doesn’t like foreign language films. Or accents. From Brooklyn.  Casablanca is #1, and Plan 9 From Outer Space is #9,133.

Russell T Davies is going to get a crack at writing for Matt Smith’s Doctor after all. Don’t worry – no one is letting him get near his old toys. But Davies is writing for The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Matt’s Doctor and companion Jo Grant are going to drop by.

Our friends over at TheTorchOnline.com have written an open letter to Russell T Davies explaining to him why Torchwood USA would be an awful idea, at least right now.

Penguins are cute. Oddly, penguin babies, less cute.

Today in life-changing "duh!" moments, cupcakes, though inexplicably popular at the moment, are a royal pain to eat. Plus, all the fun icing is on the top. Unless you create a sandwich.

Why had I never thought of this?

Finally, a job I'm qualified for!

Why yes, yes I do.

I have to admit that Meet the Robinsons wasn't the greatest movie. It was stylized, pretty, and I loved the soundtrack filled with Jamie Cullum tracks. But this scene has to rank up there as one of the most inspired ever put to film/hard disc.

Little arms.

Who hasn't cuddled up to a puppy for warmth.

Not going to explain the joke.

Psst - You should have seen Jimmy 'ho'ing around the club last night.

On Monday morning, I was lying in bed in the dark because it's the only place my allergies don't make me incredibly miserable these days. Good Morning America came on with a segment called "Radical Unschooling" where parents take their kids out of school, and leave them to their own devices. Oddly, in some states, this is legal.

We showed you a trailer for In My Sleep a few weeks ago, and we all agreed that it was a forgettable movie, except that Phillip Winchester seemed to spend most of the movie in his underwear while sleep walking and possibly sleep killing. Here we find out he also sleep seduces, but my main question is about what he has wrapped around his waist, a space blanket?

Studio Imagi has gone broke, and their entire Los Angeles studio has been auctioned off. That makes it unlikely that we'll ever see any more of their movie Gatchaman than what's in this trailer. To me it looks like a really violent G-Force, which would be pretty much be the perfect movie.

I was certain that this news report about sheep pigs was a joke, but I did some research, and if it's a joke, it's a pretty good one, because they have a fancy name of Mangalitza. So many jokes that can be made about this, but none of them that I can make.
