I spend a couple hours a day absorbing political media, and there are literally hundreds of things Trump has done in the last eight months worthy of mockery and derision. Hundreds. So much so that when someone only slightly into politics tries to start a conversation about how ridiculous Trump is, I really don't have…

Just barely watching the pre-coverage, I commented on something that was rather odd, considering the controversy surrounding this year:

Man, I hadn't thought of this movie for a quarter century, but then just a week ago watched the GoodBad Flicks summary of it on YouTube… and now this article.

What do you need, a road map?

Riot Grrrls are sticklers for copyright infringement and intellectual property laws?

"Warm… and mandatory."

For my money, best one ever: "Get a Life." To lovers of the show, it was just iconic, and you would never again hear "Stand" without thinking about it… Of course, given the closing joke of the woman in her nightgown, I almost wonder if it could even be done today.

When I was in my early teens, I relished seeing the above logo. It meant you were about to see a movie that:
1. Would be incredibly entertaining to your sensibilities,
2. Your parents would not approve of,
3. Your community did not think you should be able to see, and
4. Would be a middle finger to Reagan's America.

And my 2-year-old daughter plays contentedly, completely unaware that the woman she's named after just died.

I see this sort of like nicknames: yes, you can choose your own, but it carries more weight if someone else chooses for you.

A logical choice. Just saw "Spotlight" yesterday and its writing really was impressive. Not a scene of abuse is ever shown, but certain scenes are just masterpieces of understatement and implication in portraying how damaging the abuse was to the victims.

It's too long to quote (and it's all in the delivery and facial expressions anyhow), but the most hilarious scene in the movie is when Charlie convinces the cop to go to the house, and the live-in carpenter puts up such a plausible front that Charlie loses it and starts ranting that it's a vampire house. The reaction…

My motivation to see this movie was, for me, unique.

Hey, the jobs Americans don't want to do.

For some reason I was recently inclined to look up Faster Pussycat on Wikipedia. Never knew that the singer, Taime Downe's real name was Gustave Molvik.

Bonus points if you would crank your car stereo as loud as it could go just to hear the that onslaught on "Wish" right after "This is the first day, of my last days."

I'm not sure how this sits with me. I consider SSTLS one of the brilliant works of the last 10 years, and I continue to be amazed by its fucking prescience. But this development with it, ummmm…

I'd add the caveat that it depends on what point in the campaign. As painful as it is to remember, Sarah Palin was America's Sweetheart for a couple weeks in '08. It was only after the Charlie what's-his-name and Katie Couric interviews that the wheels started to come off.

I don't agree with any of their politics, but in this GOP primary you do have to feel sorry for Jeb Bush. As this was starting to get crazy with the name-calling debates and whatnot, I think Jeb sort of sat back thinking, 'People will get tired of this and come to their senses, and then I'll look like the reasonable…

Fuck you I'm eating!
