If the Easter Bunny didn't make it on time to San Diego earlier today, you can blame the California Highway Patrol. They pulled him over for traffic violation:
The man, who was riding a motorcycle with a side car, was getting plenty of attention from other drivers as he sped down the Interstate on his way to a charity event.
Unfortunately for him, CHP officer Adam Griffiths spotted him and pulled him over for not wearing a helmet and being a distraction to other drivers.
``Griffiths told him it was a serious situation and that it wasn't a joke,'' CHP spokesman Brian Pennings said. ``He explained to him the safety ramifications of not having a helmet."
Pennings said Griffiths radioed in "I'm stopping the Easter Bunny."But the CHP wasn't heartless: the Easter Bunny was released with a warning.

Some of what Don said were "clunkers" could easily be disputed--ET is dated but the original (NOT the "remastered" junk!) had a lot of charm and a very powerful message. Last Crusade was cinematographically sumptuous and the storyline had a lot of excellent moments, though admittedly the whole "Holy Grail Obstacle Course" was cheesy enough to cause diarrhea in the lactose intolerant... For that matter, all of the movies he listed could easily be debated on for hours by those familiar with them.
I will wholeheartedly agree with him on War of the Worlds, though, summing it up in two little words: Tom. Cruise.
*shudders morbidly*
However, it's becoming increasingly apparent that fame is pushing him to pull a George Lucas--thereby requiring him to register his inflamed ego as a potentially lethal incendiary device, and to keep it stowed in the cargo area of his personal jet during any flights. Expect him to start pushing plodding CGI-infested plot-deficient "prequels" onto his fan base and retconning his older films any minute now...
