The connection is that it's another place Trump can raise cash without violating campaign finance laws. 

Gotta love that “a person makes more money than me, so they must be spoiled and therefore a sacrifice by them is the best, easiest solution to the problem” attitude. I can’t tell if this person is an idiot or a studio plant.

The system works!

Method actors can do really weird shit with their brains. Helen Hunt once said that one of her characters needed to adamantly exclaim “I will never sleep with you!”, and to ensure she said it as powerfully as possible, she imagined her hair was on fire and that she wasn’t even thinking about the words “I will never…

For my money, they had a handful of excellent all-timer sketches, but also a lot of dead air in between. Still: gallon of PCP, getting high with dinosaurs, asshole Lincoln...

To this day, I can't believe they put that gag in the trailers. 

Chris Thompson over at Defector spoke about the reasons this crap gets made a year or so ago when discussing the Space Jam sequel:
“Space Jam 2" may be the apex, but it’s hardly alone in being a piece of art whose primary entertainment factor is simply providing the audience with stuff we’re familiar with, and…

This is as good a place as any to remind everyone that the original “Beastmaster” with Mark Singer is a silly but enjoyable romp.

I don’t know enough about the current (or old) status quo of twitter discourse to say much about it, but I do know enough to laugh at the the absolutely trash sub-AliExpress, As-Seen-on-TV reject products being hawked in twitter ads over the past several months. This is some shit that late-night basic cable advertiser…

My favorite Greg moment, a great example of both his resourcefulness and his oafishness, was when he shredding all those documents on Thanksgiving.
