The Frighteners feels way more Zemeckis-y than Jacksonian to me.

There are cases to be made for "ghost-directing" (Tombstone, I'd make a case for The Frighteners), but Poltergeist only seems to get this appraisal because Spielberg is a lot more famous than Hooper.

Citizens' Band: Part of a continuing series of reviews wherein I continually fail to appreciate beloved films from 1977.

Okay, let's throw Martin Scorsese in jail for not wagging his finger at you.

That's their fucking problem.

I don't think Trump is involved or cares about crafting policy outside of his own vanity and perceived need for retribution. He wanted the VP to control everything during the campaign. The budget is Mulvaney's budget.

I grew up being taught that California wasn't really part of America. By Californians and Americans.

That's not the point. The point is that he was fired for being against the war. And he was hardly the only one. Ashleigh Banfield at MSNBC was forced out for being against the war.

Goddamnit, that's accurate.

And Democrats were once the party of slavery, but wake up Dinesh D'Souza, cuz it's 2017.

It's been taken up and mass-distributed by the Breitbart crowd/local and state party pages on Facebook. Nobody I know on the left even knows about it. Last time a tourist was murdered in SF, it made Trump the Republican front-runner, so they're hoping it'll boost his popularity.

No, he held several different jobs after that. But that doesn't mean there was no value in working the fields. I've heard academic arguments that we should make middle schoolers work the fields because they basically can't learn anything at that age.

I grew up being told that California isn't really part of America. Today, the local Claremont Group (from whence we got Steven Miller) claims that the state is in economic freefall due to decades of "degeneracy."

Here.

Where does Howard Stern getting fired for being against the war fall into this equation?

Bill Maher isn't capable of self-deprecation. He has a self-aggrandizing sense of humor, as proved here when he flailingly attempted to give himself attention however possible.

I think that misunderstands Trump, and conflates two distinct issues. Trump's only interest is his own pride and vanity, and that opens up all kinds of challenges beyond the traditional left-right divide. He'd support any stated policy that would flatter his own authority and demean that of others. So it's worth…

The "vile mongrels" of the "People's Gaypublic of Drugifornia."

Well, Sasse did work the fields, all the time as a kid on his parents' farm.

Aside from that's an acceptably useful POV at this moment, Sasse has actually criticized Trump on the basis of his character.
