He was so talented. He did Tom Cruise, Bruce Springsteen, James Hetfield, Tony Robbins... I interviewed him for his directorial debut, Reality Bites, and he was a great guy. I suppose I shouldn’t be sad for a guy making crappy movies for $20 million a pop, but, sheesh, what a waste of talent.

It’s not about abortion. The New International Version, first published in 1970, uses an incorrect translation. The verse concerns a test for adultery. In other versions, if the woman fails the test, her womb will “rot” or “waste away”. The word “miscarriage” comes out of the blue, since nowhere in the verse does it…

They get another shitty job to try to make ends meet, their kids go astray because of the lack of parental support, and when bad things inevitably happen, it’s Obama’s fault.

If you replace “we” with “colored folks” I think it will make more sense.

I’d love to see this happen only for the inevitable porn parody “Taking My Talents to Charlotte”.

Replace the pronouns and you get “Fox already ate Ball’s ass up twice”, which is way more fun.

I shocked, shocked, I say, to discover that a rich white guy who spends all his time on golf courses is less than enlightened about race relations.

I think MoS failed not because of Snyder but because of Goyer and Nolan. They wanted a Batman-style Superman. I picture them watching the dailies and screaming, “Dammit, Zach, we need more brooding!” I don’t think it would have been a classic if Snyder had complete control, but it wouldn’t have been quite so bad.

Two observations:
1) Handel is, even by current standards, a particularly loathsome creature. I think her win underscores the need for Democratic candidates and especially the Party to develop a coherent platform and a national strategy. Ossoff just proved the “I’m a nice white guy and I’m not Donald Trump” plan…

She is replacing Tom Price. The seat once belonged to Newt Gingrich. So, “thinking” is not really relevant here.

Yep, the Democrats eat their own. And as far as I can see they STILL don’t have a national strategy other than “We’re not Trump!” During the campaign the GOP was systematically targeting races nationwide, even at the local level, while the Dems seemed content to sit and cackle at the Trump shit show, content in their…

I’ve made this comment before, but Pruitt and Zinke are the worst of the Swamp Monsters. Much of what the administration can be undone over time, but the damage these two are doing is permanent. You can’t unpollute a river or unraze a mountain. There are a few factors at work here. The first is that they are heeding…

I’m all for equal pay, but I don’t think this is the hill to die on. This was the first major superhero movie with a female lead, with an unknown actor in the lead and an unknown director behind the camera. (Relatively speaking, of course.) This was not a sure bet by any stretch. It was only when the first trailer…

I worked in a family-owned Italian restaurant where the self-described Christians would go on Sunday. We knew, because they would tell us. They would all order spaghetti and meatballs, the cheapest thing on the menu. It would be like going to a steakhouse and ordering a hamburger. The husband ran the kitchen. Rather…

Allow me to point out for the infinitieth time that the Bible says nothing about abortion.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but still applicable.

Yeah, that film was a labor of love for Scorsese, and it turned out to be one of his worst. That said, that’s one of my favorite DDL performances. He’s fucking terrifying. Imagine being on that set with him in character the whole time! I wonder how crew members got carved up.

“Go on...”
— Johnny Depp

Totally off topic, but before Ben Stiller decided to do crappy movies where he plays the same bumbling oaf, he had a sketch TV show in which he did a hilarious DDL impression.

Well, he did die in the end...

Seth Rogen/Jonah Hill and Samuel L Jackson. Either that or close the hole in the space-time continuum that allows Jackson to appear in every film ever made ever. I rewatched Casablanca. Now he’s in it. My parents dug up a home video of one of my little league football games. He’s in it.
