Obama-Conan humor from The Onion
The Onion has a piece of satire in which the Cabinet fails to understand President Obama’s metaphors based on “Savage Sword of Conan.” The second best line is this:

Brett Ratner in negotiations for Conan
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Brett Ratner is in final negotiations to helm a “Conan” film.
“Conan” can be cool in the right hands, cheesy in others. I don’t think I’d be the audience for a Ratner-directed “Conan.” And I kind of question the likelihood of anybody being able to make the general populace forget Arnold Schwartzenegger enough to make the film their own. Much remains to be seen on this one.
