I grew up in Chicago and had a similar dream when I was about 6. Maybe it was just an urban legend, but supposedly the waitlist was so long for tickets people would sign up when they got engaged and hope to get in the audience before their kids were too old to appreciate it.

Play the Grand Prize Game from the Bozo Show. When I was very little I used to practice that shit relentlessly in the back yard and at the beach (wind permitting) in the HIGHLY unlikely case that we would ever be in Chicago, that we would then attend a Bozo taping, and that I would get picked to play.

I just want a picture in Oscar the Grouch’s trash can.

That scene and the scene where he slowly allows us to see just how terrified he is after JJL drops her bomb in prison.

Run the Double Dare obstacle course.

There was that scene where he’s walking forwards, the camera tracking him, while a slowed down version of ‘Toxic’ plays. It should be way too on the nose, but it works, partly because the look on Hamm’s face of pure rage is so scarily believable.

We let all the disgusting things you’ve done slide by all the time.

Counterpoint: He was absolutely terrifying in Fargo. 

Yup, all this did was secure his win. And if it had been successful, it would have secured his replacement’s win AND kicked off the civil war. The idea that he dies and it’s all rainbows and free healthcare is mindblowingly naive.

Yeah, I read an entire book about this years ago.

Black has been campaigning for Biden this year. The optics of Gass’ comment will have negative effects for Biden. I don’t think Jack Black is concerned about losing any fascist fans or a few bucks.

Jack Black has been campaigning for Biden this year. He’s probably most concerned about this hurting Biden’s campaign, with Fox Newsmax morons trying to connect dots that don’t exist. It’ll go something like “Biden ally endorses Trump assassination”.

This is not news. Members of the clan including Raekwon and U-God have been saying this publicly for years. Basically they were paid individually to record some verses without being informed that they would ultimately be used for a collective Wu-Tang album. 

Especially given how deranged the MAGA folks are. That said Biden is also right that we need to cool down politics, there is NO room these days for a calm honest discussion it’s very much if you say you like hamburgers, well why do you HATE hot dogs.  It’s all absurd and stupid.

Folks need to learn they don’t have to express every thought in their head. A lot of people feel like Gass but you just can’t say so.

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS. Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? ... The money’s rolling in and this is fun. Donald’s place in this election is a good thing. I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a…

The media is so cowed, so submissive, so dedicated to the “both sides are the same” idea that they’ve collectively become total apologists for him. No matter what he says about the media as a threat, they’ve become some of his greatest allies in defending him, normalizing him, and painting over his crimes and the…

I don’t know when the news/political worlds decided that “decorum” should be more important than focusing on any important issues, but it’s very disappointing. Like sure, okay, the day of a crazy event and/or tragedy it’s might be considered in poor taste to go real hard on a subject (or mock it). Maybe, maybe even a…

The network coverage of the convention tonight is pretty disgusting. Goddamn ABC (so not even Fox or something) is fawning all over him, asking their reporter who talked to him about him in hushed, reverential tones, as though he’s not still an evil disgusting menace to the world.

The BFI in London had a Powell and Pressburger season last year which had a whole bunch of rare screenings and special events. I only went once as money was tight, but it was a real pleasure seeing Gone to Earth on the big screen. It also inspired me to check out the films I hadn’t seen of theirs and The Small Back…
