He already got his career achievement Oscar for the forgettable Crazy Heart, though.

BIG fan of Scorsese here but willing to admit that Gangs of New York was just not very good. 

The Irishman didn’t win anything because not enough academy voters were able to stay awake during a screening.

Biggest omission from this list: Children of Men

I honestly do not understand how this guy’s restaurants are this successful. The prices are crazy, the food looks just OK from the pictures I have seen, and the chef is obnoxious as hell (to me at least).

Yeah. I mean I can’t stand the guy, but kudos for turning 15 minutes of fame (and a lame claim to fame at that) into some kindof restaurant “empire” generating millions in profit. Not going to fault him for that.

Well put it this way:  If his restaurant burns down when it’s packed the world is automatically a much better place.

I’m genuinely curious as to what kind of people would be patrons of his restaurants. I know there’s plenty of new money douchebags out there, but come on.

if you pay $800 for one of this dude’s steaks you’re just an asshole.

I remember my grandmother asking him if he remembered how many German fighters he shot down. His answer: “I know exactly how many - zero.”

My father was also a ball turret gunner and flew 35 missions when he was only 19-20 years old. He had some crazy stories and liked to say that he can’t imagine how he ever did it, but now that it’s over he’s glad he did. 

My great uncle was a ball turret gunner in the belly of a B-17 (Sean Astin’s spot in Memphis Belle). He didn’t particularly care to discuss it either, I’m sure not least because it was pants-shittingly terrifying being exposed down there like that every time a German fighter came up from below. I finally saw one of…

“Did you choke back a sob when Sgt. Warren “Skip” Muck and Pfc. Alex Penkala were killed instantly (and together) by an artillery barrage in Band Of Brothers?”

And, in real life. Don’t forget that.

Calling it now; dude has a collection of child porn that would make Josh Duggar blush.

Except in times when they control all three branches of the administration.  Which hopefully won’t happen any time soon.  VOTE BLUE!

It works in the favor of humanity when Republican evil is eclipsed by Republican incompetence.

My first time frying a turkey was on live television. I was the chef at a huge market that had a location in Arkansas, and the local news wanted someone to explain how to do it in the Square in Rogers. I did my research, set up that morning, and fried the turkey throughout the hour long brodcast. I can’t imagine it…

“The Holdovers is a warm, funny, and emotionally winning film about people.”

That’s good, because Sideways was an annoying, unfunny film about pretentious assholes that tried as hard as humanly possible to not be likeable in any way.  I guess the only way was up from there.

It also contains nonsensical shit like this:
