His wife was freaked out that he was going to abuse her, especially after he batted his nephew around, after the kid was rude to his Sister, who was a widow. Ironically, Neri was nothing but gentle and kind to his wife, but his temper scared her and she wanted a divorce. After Neri killed the pimp, his father in…

Al Neri, the man who became Michael Corelone’s Luca Brasi had an interesting backstory. He went from being a New York City cop with an attitude to a Corleone enforcer, after Michael interceded in his being sent to jail for killing a Harlem pimp after the pimp slashed the faces of one of his ladies and her young…

I have a sneaking feeling that these idiots are being underwritten by a grant from the estate of the late Andy Kaufman.

Attorney Janet Reno made a public apology after the FBI investigation into Jewell went nowhere.  But by that time, the media genie was out of the bottle.  And as it is almost impossible to sue the federal government, the only way to seek redress was for his lawyer to go after the media outlets that went with the…

The only media organization that Jewell and his lawyer sued that didn’t settle out of court was the Atlanta Journal Constitution, which won a Georgia Supreme court decision that while Jewell may have been entitled to a settlement, and the AJC did not have to pay a judgement to a dead person.

I’m hoping he gets to reprise his character as the host of the game show “Family Fight” on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. It was great to watch his character go from congenial host, to just wanting to strangle each and every member of “The Gang” as the show went on.

I kid, I kid. Actually, I got misty when watching the last episode of Family Guy that Adam West appeared on, in live action as the Mayor of Quahog. I’d like to have seen the good mayor debate our feckless president. West’s mayor would wipe the floor with that douchebag.

As long as he doesn’t cite “Mayor Adam West” as an influence on how he runs South Bend, that’s fine with me.

As an Ohioan who is also a Democrat, I am thinking about starting a Go Fund Me page called, “Let’s Buy Jim Jordan A Sportsjacket!”

I remember watching a documentary on the Verona Codes, and one of Hall’s co-workers believed that he should have been reinducted into the military, court marshalled, then shot.  

Hessman also played what was the world’s oldest hippie in an episode of Dragnet a year or so before Billy Jack on a TV “debate” show between the hippies vs. Joe Friday & Bill Gannon. By the end of the episode, the most liberal person on the planet would be rooting for Joe & Bill.

I remember reading the review of Billy Jack Goes To Washington in one of the Medved’s “Worst Movie/Golden Turkey” awards books. IIRC, it was the winner in the “Worst Movie You’ve Never Seen” award due to it’s limited distribution due to a fight between Laughlin and the distributor. Both the review and the movie are…

A more important person in the world of food, thought better of Ms. Hagerty, and helped get her a book deal, edited her book and wrote the forward.

IIRC, he wasn’t quite hoarding the anti HIV drugs, but he used his influence to get into a program that was testing new drugs to fight the disease.   Believe me, if he wasn’t who he was, he would never have gotten into the program.

IIRC, one of the reasons that Ethel was tried along with Julius is that the prosecutors would hope that either she would roll over on Julius, or Julius would confess in order to save Ethel.  Neither thing happened, and I’ve read that at most, she should have gotten a stiff prison sentence, but not the death penalty.  

My money’s on Robert Evans, king o’ the Hollywood sleazebags. Other than Coppola, all of the producers of that film were kind of skeevy, including vaudeville/nostalgia producer Roy Radin, who was murdered by his girlfriend over his stiffing her on profit participation on the film.

Actually, Law & Order streams in a very limited manner. The following article from Vulture explains why.

Unlike us, at least our British cousins of all stripes and parties have no problem calling Boris out on his crap, every moment of every day.

In his song, “Dixie Flyer,” Randy Newman recalled his growing up in New Orleans with his mother’s family while his father was a soldier in WW2. His mother described a scene on a playground to a young Randy, “That little girl has a red balloon, and the little boy on the slidingboard is an octaroon, and this cookie in…

Except that Haddish is a real comedian, and not a comic actor like Josh Gad.  I still say that show could have worked, if they’d used a real comedian, like Sarah Silverman or Anthony Jeselnik, just to name two.
