What are we to make of the S***show on the Seine, both literally and figuratively? Christian Toto and Ed Morrissey talk about the cultural implications of the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies. We also debate whether Hollywood has truly shifted creatively to engage red-state America, and try to figure out what in the world Marvel and Robert Downey Jr are thinking. Plus, we discuss Josh Hartnett's decision to dial down fame and its trappings, and wonder whether the media could take a lesson from it.
