No, thanks.

Pulp fiction is up there in the rarified company of 2001 and Altered States as "movies it is absolutely unacceptable to watch sober." Watching Pulp Fiction without being stoned is just…unthinkable. It is tragic really.

What were the main Tarantino knockoffs? I was way too young to be pop-culture-conscious at the time of Pulp Fiction's breakout success.

Barney knows the exact running time of the Original Trilogy.

More pumped about this than an adult person should be. Is he the one who did the iconic posters (like the one where Leia is incestuously clinging to Luke's leg while he holds his lightsaber in the air)?

" If there were a major, unashamedly right-wing satire to be found on TV or at the movies"

And a good thing too.

It doesn't seem to occur to people that this muddled centrist technocratic agenda pretty much IS what the Democrats support. There were no "wasted" opportunities, the Democrats got done what they wanted to get done, pretty clearly.

How would criticizing Obama from the right make the Onion bipartisan?

The (basically Fascist) commentators there will tell you that most of the Tea Party butthurt over Obama is misplaced anger over his status as a racial "other", which cannot find politically productive outlets in modern America, so they call him…

Yes, that piece is A+ excellent. I don't believe that Stewart has "fierce convictions", I think that he just doesn't care for Conservative culture or their agenda, so, in the USA, that makes him a flaming lefty.

Nietzsche is vaguely right-wingish (although he occasionally spouts some stuff that sounds like pomo San Francisco talking points), but he is not conservative in the sense that we are talking about in this article. There is a strong, strong whiff of ressentiment coming from the modern American right at all times that…

"That's because the ability to outrage the opposition isn't your number
