Robalini's Note: Jim Morrison blows smoke here. I love the little smirk on Robby Krieger's face after Jimbo says "Girl, we couldn't get much higher," which was forbidden by the Sullivan show. In the movie The Doors, Val Kilmer is in your face over the line while Jimbo is actually pretty casual. Speaking of which, that's one of Stone's real underrated gems, with both Kilmer & Crispin Glover as Andy Warhol actually being more bizarre than the guys they were playing, if that's possible.

Governor Batman? Kilmer May Seek Office

Governor Batman? Kilmer May Seek Office

Having variously portrayed God, Moses and Philip II of Macedon in his unpredictable career, Val Kilmer, below, may be contemplating a role that would carry more real-world authority. In an interview with The Associated Press, Mr. Kilmer said he may consider running for governor of New Mexico in 2010, when term-limit laws would prevent Gov. Bill Richardson from seeking a third stay in office (although opponents of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York thought the same thing). “I’m just looking for ways to be contributive,” Mr. Kilmer said, according to The A.P. “And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.” Though born and raised in Los Angeles, Mr. Kilmer, a star of films including “The Doors” and “Batman Forever,” has lived for two decades in New Mexico, where he has a 6,000-acre ranch outside Santa Fe. He said he had not conclusively decided to seek office but told The A.P., “If I run, I’m going to be the next governor.”

Val Kilmer voices 'Knight Rider'
Actor replaces Will Arnett as NBC's KITT
By JOSEF ADALIAN
A carmaker conflict has caused NBC to hire Val Kilmer to replace Will Arnett as the voice of KITT on its "Knight Rider" revival.
Arnett ("Arrested Development") had already completed his part for the pic, which is slated to debut on NBC in less than two weeks. Producers Doug Liman, Dave Bartis and Dave Andron -- along with the network and studio -- were all fine with his performance.
Problem is, Arnett had a contractual conflict of interest.
For the better part of a decade, Arnett has done voice-over work for General Motors -- as the voice of GMC Trucks. NBC's new "Knight," however, is "played" by a Ford Mustang.
What's more, Ford isn't simply providing cars for "Knight Rider." It's taking an active role in the marketing and branding of the pic, a backdoor pilot for a possible series. Ford's logo even appears all over NBC's on-air promos for the pic.
Not surprisingly, when GM found out about the Ford connection, it asked Arnett to pull out.
"I was very excited at the prospect of playing the part of KITT in the new 'Knight Rider' movie," Arnett said. "However, because of a long relationship with General Motors as the voice of GMC Trucks, I had to respectfully withdraw from the project."
While NBC and Universal Media Studios will have to scramble to replace Arnett's dialogue with Kilmer's work, the upside is landing a well-known name for the part. In addition to his roles in pics such as "Batman Forever," "Heat" and "Top Gun," Kilmer has done plenty of voice-over work, including the voice of Moses in 1998's "The Prince of Egypt."
