Speaking of selfies, comedian Jimmy Fallon weighed in on the President Funeral Selfie kerfuffle. As Twitchy reported, the New York Post epically slammed the president for the selfie at the memorial for Nelson Mandela. Mrs. Obama was also not amused. What is amusing? Fallon’s prediction:
http://twitter.com/#!/jimmyfallon/status/410945264053399552Zing! That tweet has been retweeted well over 2,000 times and has been made a favorite over 3,000 times.
http://twitter.com/#!/SimpleeChelsea/status/410945712730693633Well, one thing is clear: We’ll always have mockery opportunities with President Obama. So there’s that? Or something.

Disney buys ‘Star Wars;’ Tweeters break out the light sabers
http://twitter.com/#!/MovieTV_Addict/status/263445437862789121
Disney made waves today by announcing plans to buy George Lucas’ company LucasFilm Ltd. With the purchase comes the rights to the Star Wars franchise, and an announcement that Star Wars Episode 7 is coming in 2015. Lucas will neither write nor direct the film.
Star Wars fans proceeded to blow up Twitter, and most of them aren’t happy that Mickey Mouse is now in command of the Death Star.
dear Disney’s Star Wars… Is Lizzy McGuire playing Princess Leah?What’s gonna happen to the Cheetah Girls?Justin Beiber for Han Solo?

A new Star Wars movie is coming out in 2015 Disney is directing it not George Lucas, can’t they just leave it as it is & not risk ruining it

@katieektkaty George Lucas is overseeing it still…but a Disney desecration is enevitable 🙁 ’tis all about the money!

#Disney just bought #Lucasfilm & @starwars for $4 billion and then paid $3 billion for Lucas to keep Jar Jar.

Fucking kill me now. I can’t fucking live in a fucking world where fucking Disney has fucking control of the once perfect Star Wars movies.

Disney bought Lucasfilm, therefore Cinderella is the new Chewbacca.

Dear George Lucas; F@ck you for selling your already half compromised body of work to Walt Disney. I’ll be 1st in line 4 “tickle me” vader..
— Tyler Armes (@TylerArmes) October 30, 2012
Of course not everyone joined the lynch-the-mouse mob. Many calmer denizens see a lot of big opportunities in bringing Luke Skywalker into the Magic Kingdom.
Thinking about Disney and ‘Star Wars.’ I think Disney has the talent in house to pull off some really good films. Hint: Brad Bird.

Pssst. Stay calm and imagine the good things, like how about an entire Star Wars theme park at Disney designed by ILM….
— Peter Mayhew (@TheWookieeRoars) October 30, 2012
Star Wars is like a national park; a cultural treasure. All who work with it do so with respect and care. Disney will be good stewards.

As for us, we just want a major motion picture based on LucasFilm’s comedy video game The Secret of Monkey Island. Do whatever you want with Jar Jar. Just please give us Monkey Island movies!
Monkey Island: The Movie. I want to believe.
— Víctor Navarro (@Afilamazas) October 30, 2012
DISNEY PLEASE MAKE AN ANIMATED SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND MOVIE ASAP.

Wait wait wait…listen: “Pixar’s The Secret of Monkey Island”

Exit question: Was “The Phantom Menace” the worst movie ever made — or merely the most disappointing?

32 Times “Arrested Development” Was The Cleverest Program On Television
Nothing will ever effectively hide Arrested Development’s thunder.
1. “Arrested Development” was sued by the rap group “Arrested Development” for copyright infringement. They then made several pointed references to this throughout the show.
FOX
Such as here, when Buster and Lucille competed in the Motherboy Competition and the narrator quipped about copyright infringement. (You’ll also notice that “Motherboy” is comprised of several cast members from the show.)
Also, in season 1, episode 11, a newspaper that flashes up on screen includes an article titled “Musician sues restaurant over use of name”.
2. When they included the most meta product placement ever.
Carl and Tobias meet to discuss Tobias’ upcoming role in Scandalmakers in a Burger King, they then have this conversation:
Carl Weathers: Thanks for meeting me down here at Burger King. I’m trying to get them to underwrite a new TV project I’m working on. Get some money in exchange for setting a scene here at Burger King.
Tobias: Well, as long as you don’t draw attention to it.
The producers of the show actually received money for this product placement from Burger King, although the show undermined the restaurant chain by partially concealing the G in Angus Burger every time a poster for it was in shot.
3. References are made throughout to previous roles actors in the show have had.
This depicts Henry Winkler jumping over a shark. The phrase “jumping the shark” comes from when Winkler, as Fonzie in Happy Days, literally waterskis over a shark and refers to when a show is about to decline substantially in quality, as signposted by one ridiculous scene.
To add further insult to injury, this happens as Barry Zuckerkorn is on his way to Burger King.
5. Similarly, when George Bluth mistook Saddam Hussein for the “Soup Nazi” he wasn’t entirely wrong.
The Saddam Hussein impersonator in the blue shirt is actually Larry Thomas, the man who played the “Soup Nazi” in Seinfeld.
Castle Rock Entertainment
6. When George Michael Bluth’s shirt exactly matched the candies he was eating.
FOX
8. Whenever Gob approaches someone on his Segway, he always segues the conversation to what he wants to talk about.
FOX
9. In season 1, Buster pulls out folders of all the studies he’s participated in.
FOX
One says “HEMISPHERECTOMY SURGERY” which is surgery that removes half of your brain. Common side effects of this include “arrested development” and loss of extremities such as feet and hands.
…but Nellie can.
FOX
This is a reference to the fact that Lindsay might not be Michael’s biological sister. Nellie is able to finish Michael’s sentence because she is acted by Jason Bateman’s real life sister, Justine Bateman.
(Bonus: The scene between Lindsay and Michael even makes it into a song from Frozen.)
11. The vehicles with which the authorities spy on the Bluths all have the inconspicuous brand of “Blendin”.
12. When they foreshadow Buster getting his hand bitten off by a seal to an almost ridiculous extent.
In season one, Gob marries a seal trainer (acted by Amy Poehler).
Buster skips out on Army to play a claw game where he wins a stuffed seal.
In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?”
Buster refers to his hand-shaped chair which had been given to Lupe and says, “I never thought I’d miss a hand so much.”
Later, as Gob releases the infamous seal into the sea, he says “You’re not going to be hand-fed anymore.”
Shortly before his hand is bitten off, a pedestrian warns Buster of a “loose seal” – creating a parallel between the seal that bites off his hand, and Lucille, his overbearing mother.
13. When they foreshadow Buster getting his hand bitten off to an almost ridiculous extent.
FOX
Buster skips out on Army to play a claw game where he wins a stuffed seal.
Buster refers to his hand-shaped chair which had been given to Lupe:
Picasa
In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?”
Even the seal has a backstory: Gob married a seal trainer, when she leaves for army, he begins to use a seal in one of his acts. However, the seal gets a taste for mammal blood when a cat is trapped in one of the boxes with it. Afraid, Gob then releases the seal into the sea, saying: “You’re not going to be hand-fed anymore.””
14. The episode after Buster loses his hand, there’s a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man who is also missing a hand.
FOX
15. When the banana stand is pulled from the water in S02 E11, you can see it says “Get u Bluth – Hello.”
FOX
This foreshadows the revelation at the end of season 3 when Annyong reveals his real name is “Hel-loh” and that he has been trying to bring down the Bluth company after they stole the idea for the banana stand from his grandfather.
“Hel-loh” also translates to “One Day” so the words on the banana stand can be read as saying, “I’ll get you Bluth – One day.”
16. Dan Castellanata acts Dr. Stein.
He is most famous for being the voice of Homer Simpson, and he repeats his famous line here. His first name is also Frank, making him Dr. Frank Stein – which is a nod towards his fondness of reattaching body parts in different places, as he does with Gob’s middle and index finger.
17. In “The Ocean Walker” Buster dances inside his car to “Mr. Roboto” – a reference to a commercial the actor did in 1999.
18. Tobias calls Hollywood shows incredibly detailed, while opening a cupboard in their own set which only has a Starbucks cup inside.
19. When Bob Loblaw warns against listening devices, and the boom mic creeps into shot.
FOX
20. When Gob apparently starts calling George Michael Sr. “Bear” in reference to his Bee business, it turns out he’s been called Bear before.
21. There’s a running joke where Lupe wears jumpers that are two holidays behind.
She wears a Halloween jumper during a Christmas party, and a Thanksgiving jumper on Valentines day. This joke is continued when Tobias becomes Mrs. Featherbottom, and he wears an old Bush/Cheney jumper.
25. When the episode “Immaculate Election” was created to mirror the 2004 Presidential race.
George Michael represented John Kerry, Steve Holt was George W. Bush, and Rav Nadir was Ralph Nader.
29. When both Gob and George Michael lose the “P” from their possessions.
FOX
Gob’s “President” becomes “Resident”, George Michael’s top becomes “U.S.S. Enter rise”.
31. When they refused to go down without a fight.
FOX
Arrested Development was constantly under threat of being cancelled and numerous references are made to this throughout the show.
In the premiere for season 2, Michael mentions that the Bluth’s model home contract had been reduced from 22 to 18 homes – a direct reference to how the season’s length had been reduced similarly.
The most obvious come during the episode S.O.B.s, s3e09: Michael says “The HBO’s (Home Builder’s Organisation) not going to want us” referencing that the network HBO doesn’t pick up shows that have been cancelled by another network.
George Bluth then quips, “Well I think it’s Showtime” – a reference to another network that was rumoured to be willing to take Arrested Development on.
32. And when Tobias was an albino black man.
This was a joke that had to be cut due to ever-shortening seasons. However, hints towards it are seen when he draws parallels between himself and private detective-cum-party-caterer Ice.

Awesome: Jon Lovitz calls out the Left’s despicable race card playing
http://twitter.com/#!/realjonlovitz/status/226332462043770881
Well, who could have seen this coming?
As Twitchy reported Thursday, liberals declared war on “Saturday Night Live” alum Jon Lovitz after he took issue with President Obama’s demeaning contempt for American entrepreneurs. As a business owner, Lovitz was appalled when the president he voted for told Americans, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Apparently the Left’s assault included … wait for it … accusations of racism. The race card: libs never leave home without it.
You’d think Lovitz had committed a grave offense like using the phrase “you people.”
The comedian called out his fellow liberals, noting that it’s the Left that reduces the president to nothing more than the color of his skin.
Amazing! The picture I tweeted of Obama is a joke! Sarcasm! BTW, if a business goes under, does the government give you a refund? Nope!
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
Amazing how many"liberals" see Obama as a black man who became President. I see him as the President. Period.
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
@DONGLORD69 His race is brought into play by others when I criticize him, not me! I see him as a man who is President.
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
“@6ixty2wo: @realjonlovitz did u get this much flack when u joked about President Bush?” Nope! No one said a word!
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
Lovitz reminded followers that he’s still a Democrat, albeit one who commits heresy by daring to disagree with the president he helped elect.
“@DONGLORD69: Hey, please don't turn into Dennis Miller or Victoria Jackson, thanks.” Hello? I'm a Democrat who voted for the President!!!
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
After his recent run-ins with today’s intolerant Left, Lovitz sees himself as more of a Kennedy Democrat.
@patriot_prophet I agree! It seems like the parties switched. Whatever President Kennedy was, I'm that.
— Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 20, 2012
Now that his eyes are open to demands that he march blindly in lockstep or be purged from the Democratic Party, we wonder how long it will be until Lovitz echoes Reagan’s words: “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. It left me.”
