		If you have your heart set on an authentic studio tour, and you can afford it, you'll find that the superior Warner Bros VIP Tour is worth the additional expense.

		Maybe we should move the UN to a nice little studio lot in Hollywood, it would make it so much easier for them to collaborate in furthering their one world/utopian agenda.
		Maybe such a studio could actually make a good 9/11 movie that ignored the but-heads and apologists, and dared to be patriotic in the old-fashioned way.
