Actually, I'm surprised there really isn't a character named Bob da Bildah. I read that Lucas let his kids make up some of the ridiculous names in the new "Star Wars" movie, which is how he ended up with a fearsome villain with the snicker-inducing moniker, "Count Dooku." Guess his kids were just a little too old to name him "Prince Poopypants."

I'm seriously considering skipping this one entirely, since the last one was so juvenile and awful, it didn't deserve to have the name "Star Wars" attached to it. Between the poo-poo jokes, the know-it-all kid and the big fuzzy aliens speaking in voices overdubbed by the same actors who do translations of "Godzilla" flicks, he should've called it "Big Bad Beetleborgs: The Movie."

"Sum of All Fears" with realistic nuke explosion which will get America even more on the anti terror band wagon.

Please don't dignify that liberal's pipe dream. The enemy has been P.C.'ed from Islamic terrorists into evil white racist Neo-nazi's. Nice propaganda against the growing conservative right in Europe.Besides, Ben Affleck comes off (to me, anyway) as gay, even more so than Keanu Reeves. (And that's saying alot.)

I know the movie has been altered from the book. Still, "Sum of All Fears" will have a 7 minute scene which will realistically demonstrate what happens when a 15 kiloton nuke is detonated in a US city. 

This will make an impression on the sheeple. My prediction.

Oh my.....I'm gasping for breath here. This was the funniest bit, by far, that he's ever done. A true classic!!

Coppa the Feel, arrives, bearing a donation of 100,000 bazongas and a subscription to Mega The Boob.

Geez, even Clinton got a part in this new one.
