The Foundation In Movie-Form?

This is great/horrible news! I would love to see one of my favorite literary sequences of all time on celluloid; but I am equally worried that they will destroy it with idiocy and rank ignorance of the points Asimov was trying to get at. Very worrisome. BUT...I am sufficiently excited by the possibilities that I will wait with barely contained excitement for news of the release...

Christopher Walken - 3 Little Pigs

What can I say. This is like Shatner doing poetry...it's incredible. Seeing his sweater alone is worth watching the video...

Odds On God.

Actually, I think this is sort of a fascinating exercise, even beyond the first-level irony inherent in the concept... because when you think about it, this is simply the same concept of gaming eternal damnation, except the medium involved is far more tangible. Does it sort of negate the whole idea of the fire-and-brimstone god-fearing? Sure. But if these people aren't going down that road anyway, it certainly can't hurt. And it forces one to examine the question of a deity's "existence" under a whole new light, really.
Long and short, I'm all for it.
