Didn't he get good reviews for his work in Inglorious Basterds? I've never seen it but I remember reviews calling him a standout. (Apart from the first one, I have no love for the Austin Powers movies, and the first one doesn't hold up to repeated viewings.)

I wondered why Trump's acceptance speech began "Well, here we are. Again . . ."

No, YOU'RE the medium talent.

"Sir, that's not answering my question. Do you view The Razor's Edge as a failed experiment or a stepping stone to your later work?"

And the speed at which that alleged, misattributed comment was commercialized by the jackals that call themselves fundamentalist Christians was fucking revolting.

Colin Kaepernick Should Be Using His Protest To Provoke Discussion About Anthony Weiner: A Slate Dialogue

Is it illegal to shout "fire" in a crowded dumpster?

What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny?" "Make yourself at home?" "Marry my daughter?" You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
