George Lucas should not be allowed to name his own characters. (He shouldn’t be allowed to write or direct his own films, if the last two are any judge, but that’s beside the point.) I mean, honestly. General Grievous? Why not go all out and just call him Johnny Bad Guy?

Remi writes (in the comments to this post): “…the fact is that Garfield, instead of just feeling worn-out and soulless, is designed that way specifically to sell the most crapola.”
The article to which he links seems to support that argument. But we’ve already had the “Garfield is crap” discussion here, haven’t we?
Over in the Cappers eGroup, TheDiva posed the following questions, taken of course from Inside the Actors Studio:
- What is your favorite word?
Mellifluous - What is your least favorite word?
Cancelled - What turns you on?
Smart girls are sexy. - What turns you off?
Phoniness, hypocrites - What is your favorite curse word?
Frell - What sound or noise do you love?
Thunder in the distance on a summer evening - What sound or noise do you hate?
My alarm clock. Actually, any electronic alarm clock. I cringe just hearing that sound. - What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
For now, let’s just say full-time writer. - What profession would you not like to do?
TV pundit or the guy who follows the elephant act with a shovel (I’m not completely convinced that they’re two separate things) - If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“You’re wearing THAT?”
Feel free to answer ’em yourself if you like, although I ain’t no James Lipton.
