The Rundown: 10-12-08

A bunch of short bits and riffs I've collected over the week which fell just short of whole posts on their own. Always remember: do not give The Rundown to children ages 3 and under.

• Prairie Home Companion began its 35^th season October 4^th.
• A stamp featuring a famous painting of actress, Bette Davis, excised her cigarette. Film critic, Roger Ebert, takes issue with it as censorship. He's right.
• Lisa Marie Presley gave birth to twin girls this past Tuesday. Their names have not been released.
• io9 has the never-before-aired clips from Battlestar Galactica's 4^th season in advance of the DVD's release.
• Just Jared has pics of Robert Downey, Jr. as Sherlock Holmes.
• Fans are paying $100-1000 to attend a BBQ reuniting the cast of Dallas in Parker, a suburb of the show's namesake. The reunion takes place November 8^th.
• This week's My Cup o' Joe has tons of advance artwork and news about your favorite characters, including the Scarlet Witch!
• Former Olympics athlete, Tim Montgomery, will spend up to a decade in prison for drug-dealing. He was previously banned from athletics and stripped of his Olympic medal for steroid use.
• If there really is such a thing as "weedpunk," The Rundown agrees it is probably the gayest thing ever (barely and incoherently) thought of.

And that is your Rundown for October 12^th, 2008.
