But he was a good president! He set all the watches correctly. And he got Belushi off the drugs. The good Belushi!

I'm Bill McNeil. I'm on crack. I like boys.

Congratulations.

Well, if she was a member of the No Homers, it would be different.

She's going to be Annie in the eponymous musical film.

I don't know about eels, but Mark Twain was.

It was a crime that it was made.

Lord Palmerston!!!

Speaking personally, the movie is way less funny if those characters exist in your real life. My dad and I were mortified that the movie not only doesn't make them grow up, it utterly revels in their ass-holism and immaturity.

It is far from perfect, but there are some great ideas in that movie. I love the bit where the priest can't see Valhalla or the dragon because he doesn't believe in them.

The rock monsters (or rather, fallen angels) actually are in the Bible, at least if you squint. Right before the Noah story, I believer. They come to earth and get it on with human women. It's not clear if the Bible is saying this was bad, or just reporting that it happened.

Oh, you mean that Converse commercial with all the robots?

If you read Philemon, you realize Paul wasn't really big on slavery either, but I guess he didn't want to rock the boat by calling it a sin.

Again, I had no intention of white washing the horrors of the war, or the motives the US had for starting the war.

The Philippine War was certainly brutal, with a gigantic death toll and cases of insane barbarity. I'm not sure I'd agree with characterizing the war as a "Little Holocaust" however. The vast majority of civilian deaths seem to have been caused by either lack of food or to outbreaks of disease. While you can certainly…

I finally saw this the other day. I enjoyed it, and the idea of a movie exploring this very little known but important part of American history. The acting was good, and the ending very sad, but overall I enjoyed the film. However, seeing both Jimmy and Burt from Raising Hope in the same film was disconcerting.

It is an odd peculiarity of Hollywood that Jewish actors are often cast in non-Jewish roles (not a complaint, mind you), yet in roles that actually reflect Jewish and Israeli history (Munich, the Debt, this Exodus film) all the parts are played by Goys.

Plus your solid-gold house doesn't pay for itself.

I don't know if its familiarity or my wussy taste in music, but I preferred the unplugged version. On further consideration, the rock version probably evokes the pain/confusion/anger of the whole situation more effectively than the later version.

He's caught between the moon and New York City. Ironically, on a bridge.
