Bad news, everybody!
Val Kilmer replaces Will Arnett as the voice of K.I.T.T. in the new Knight Rider.

Apparently, the people at General Motors who've long been signing Arnett's paychecks to be the voice of GMC Trucks have suddenly become aware that the revived Knight Rider is essentially a co-production between NBC and rival Ford and have politely asked their spokesman to step away from the project.

Uh, I didn't watch Knight Rider, but wasn't K.I.T.T. a suped up Pontiac Firebird or Chevy Camaro?

What is it now? A T-Bird or a Mustang?

It was also voiced by Mr. Feeney.

A Mustang. Ford seems to have gotten really into product placement -- they convinced the director of I Am Legend to replace a good five minutes of the movie with a Mustang commercial.

Ugh. It's one thing when product placement is relatively subtle. It's a whole other thing when I'm paying ten bucks to see a film commercial.

Val Kilmer might be able to approach the sheer fantabulosa bitchiness of Mr.Daniels... Might,,, No. No one can approach the fantabulosa bitchitude of Mr. Daniels.

It will fail.

You know, I think we all struggled to really work the G.O.B. jokes when it first came out. I know my "Well David, the front seat's not doing it now, but lately when you lean back..." effort was particularly forced, but I think this news has set us free... like a BIRD!

This sucks. Aren't there any original ideas for television shows anymore? Plus, William Daniels is the one and only voice of K.I.T.T. kthnxbye.

ITT: Worst movies of 2007, and why.

I'll start: Juno.

Why? Because it's "that movie", you know, the one with the catchy acousta-indie soundtrack that 13 year old girls go "i wish my life was like that" and then proceed to smart-assedly quote the damn movie for weeks afterwards among their little social circles, the one that gets an undeserving mediocre indie band popular for said faggotry, the one that makes you want to kill everyone you see wearing a "Paulie Bleeker is totally boss" t-shirt because even the mere mention of that stupid fucking movie with that stupid fucking girl and her stupid fucking "funny" quips and her manufactured, stereotypically-hipster personality makes you want to an hero, and take the Juno-loving population with you.

tl;dr: Juno sucked. A lot.
