...triumph of that populist approach is the insertion of a line of dialogue from one of the fake trailers--"I'm tired of these motherf_______ snakes on this motherf_______ plane!"--directly into Jackson's mouth. "It's kind of difficult to watch me in a movie and not hear me say motherf_______ once," he says. "I wanted to say it in Star Wars, so I'm glad we got it in here." George Lucas and other directors may bristle at the thought of an audience hijacking their unfinished product, but Ellis--who claims he has bought almost...

...Jaafari, who has complained of Western meddling, could of course stay on: He has the backing of the Shi'ite populist Moqtada Sadr, whose Mehdi Army is one of the most powerful militias in Iraq. The support of Sadr's parliamentary delegation had given Jaafari victory over Abdul Mahdi by a margin of one vote in the list's internal election of a candidate for prime minister. But faced with the combined opposition of the Kurds, the Sunnis, his Shi'ite rivals and the U.S. (which also controls the Iraqi security forces), Jaafari will struggle to create a working government...
