I have a strange feeling that surrealists actually kind of like it when people rip them off or (perhaps) debase their films.

In response to KELO v. CITY OF NEW LONDON, in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the government has the right to take the property of a private landowner and give it to a private corporation as an act of Eminent Domain, Freestar Media, a video production company trying to break into commercial television with a reality show that 'advances freedom', is trying to use the court ruling to condemn Justice David Souter's house to make room for a "Lost Liberty Hotel" featuring a "Just Desserts Cafe".

Reality TV's finest moment occured in April on "Showdog Moms and Dads" when Happy, the crotch-fixated dog, attacked a stranger and was defended by his.. unusual owner. "In my vagina two times he bite me. but his teeths are very small and they don't damage very much. Just, they pinch!"

In 1951(ish), Tolkien wrote a letter to Milton Waldman expressing his motivations for writing The Lord of the Rings: "I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." He longed to create a living myth; one which continued to flower under the care of many gardeners. When George Lucas created Star Wars, did he imagine such skillfully-crafted, entertaining fanfilms about Storm Troopers, Boba Fett, Mara Jade, a Valley-girl Jedi, or fun, way-cool tales of the Jedi Knights, with moments that rival the prequels? Did Gene Roddenberry picture Starship Exeter, the U.S.S. Intrepid, or Hidden Frontier? Photoshop and cosplay empower even the impecunious to roll your own version of your favorite stories. As the "official" versions of the most influential stories of the 20th century wind down, they begin their evolution into living myth.

If you're not in L.A. to catch the screening of Steve Hall and Cathee Wilkins' porno parodies made with blow up dolls, then you should at least check out this upsetting collection of stop motion animation films made with the Japanese animator's own RealDolls. (Warning: irritating MIDI music)

Whether or not the Leroy Jenkins video is staged or not, its amusingly suicidal "hero" has gathered a circle of fans. Beyond the usual incomprehensible-to-outsiders forum thread discussing the participants' own "Leroy Jenkins moments", this fandom has led to the inevitable badly made fansites, flash soundboards, game mods, and, finally, a musical tribute.
