The Hollywood Reporter has a story on Roland Emmerich, noting that he's
getting ready to shop a Lawrence of Arabia remake. So take whatever
complaints I would normally register about remaking a classic and amplify them
quite a bit, since we're talking about Roland Emmerich. He is apparently
oblivious to his oeuvre, as the director hopes "to do a little bit what
Godfather II did." But since he is the creator of Independence Day
and The Day After Tomorrow, it's more likely this will involve T.E.
Lawrence trekking across the entire desert to save his son, or some side
character winning World War I by heroically flying his Sopwith Camel into enemy
HQ.

Prez, I told my mom this evening of the cute, fuzzy, pink, bunny slippers saga and showed her the picture of you wearing them. She thought they were delightful and that you were wonderful for accepting them and wearing them. I was told to tell you that she thanks you for making me feel happy as it is, truly, a rare occurrence these days.
If I made Mama Burrito happy then I consider myself a winner. My favorite thing in the world is making people happy. I don't know if you read it but I had an episode last week, and I ended up in the VA ER in East Orange wearing my bunny slippers. It wasn't until I had been administered some Adavan (I think that is right) that I realized it. I received more than one compliment, and a few nurses thought it was cute.
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
