Parts vs. The Island—1:43 PM
I knew it!!
Was 'The Island' Cloned? [Variety]
The producers of Parts: The Clonus Horror have finally caught up on their onebee reading and found out that Michael Bay ripped off their movie to make The Island. Now they're after a cut of the (admittedly puny) profits that Warners and DreamWorks are making from the film.
I think the best part of this is that one of the producers is a film professor at UCLA. How awesome would it be to take film classes from the guy who made Parts: The Clonus Horror? I had to settle for the guy who shot Gator Face.
(Just kidding; John was friendly and knowledgeable – an excellent instructor. He'd understand that Gator Face is too easy a joke to pass up – I know because he was a mensch the last time I made fun of it, in his class. He took it like a man.)

Unrelated, but possibly of interest to the BeeNation... probably not though. "2-1B (or Too-Onebee) is a medical and surgeon droid that was stationed with the core group of Rebel Alliance soldiers on Hoth's Echo Base. This humanoid mechanical aided Luke Skywalker twice during the events surrounding the Battle of Hoth. He revived Luke from a state of dormo-shock after the young commander suffered exposure to the Hoth elements. After Luke's confrontation with Darth Vader on Bespin, 2-1B affixed Luke with a cybernetic hand. 2-1B was assisted by an FX-7 droid. 2-1B is a humanoid droid with a skull like head, a transparent trunk, and numerous surgical appendages."

This reminds me of the time I returned from class early to discover my college roommate pleasuring himself while viewing online barnyard porn.
Talk about dormo-shock!
