I’m 43 and distinctly recall hearing rumors about his sexual proclivities in the early 90s when I was a freshman in a Philadelphia high school.

How this was allowed to remain an “open secret” for such a shamefully long time angers me to no end.

That’s what they always say. That same farm must have about 17 billion dogs. Dog shit to the rafters.

My favorite response to her tweet thus far:

Call me a masochist, but I’m now compelled to watch this.

A few years back at Duane Reade I picked up for $2.99 an “Action Legends Double Feature” DVD that included two Seagal movies titled Into the Sun and Attack Force.

I must confess that I’ve yet to watch them.

Absolutely. It’s one of the best A.V. Club’s best interviews. Also worth reading for a laugh is Ignatiy Vishnevetsky’s review of Contract To Kill:

If ever I win the lottery or somehow become a millionaire, the first thing I will make a point of doing is bankrolling El-P’s Sticks film, casting the great Dan Inosanto in the lead role.

Much obliged. I’m not quite sure why, but Out For Justice is one of those ridiculous films that is infinitely rewatchable.

Absolutely. It has for me every single time, and is the only reason why I deem it necessary to have a Twitter account.

I believe the special you’re referring to is titled The Last Stand or something like that. Though I’ve not watched it in about thirty years, I recall finding it hilarious as well.

The golfer? US open?

HBO seems to not be giving it the promotion it deserves. Hell, last week I accidentally discovered that the second season began.

I couldn’t agree more. I think in the second or the third season, there’s one particularly awful version that uses a vocal track that sings “Yeahhhh” and “Easy to beat” (???).

It seldom appeared, thankfully.

I’ve now reached the point where if I see Sam Barsanti’s name in the article’s byline, I’ll move on to another article. I can no longer stomach or abide by his journalistic hackery.

In a rather bizarre twist to this story, Warland happens to be a self-published children’s book author as well. Go figure...

We Philadelphians refer to this as Pennsyltucky. I can’t speak for Vandergrift, but some of these areas are as whitebred-backward, bigoted, and inbred as it gets.  

Not a thing at all — I happen to speak with a New York one. That said, I subjectively find the Philly accent (as well as Baltimore’s) unappealing.

As a born and raised Philadelphian, I can attest to this. I am eternally grateful that because my parents are New Yorkers (Brooklyn and Queens), I do not speak with the regional accent.

No doubt. To quote Tony:

“You know, everyone thought Dad was the ruthless one, but I gotta hand it to you. If you’d been born after those feminists, you would’ve been the real gangster.”
