Scorsese got an Oscar for “The Departed” for directing “Raging Bull,” the same way O.J. got heavy jail time in Vegas for...well. You know what for.

Yeah, I knew. I just didn’t bother with the title! (It also features Roy Clark, but I bet you’re not old enough to know who Roy Clark is!)

When “Rocky” became a hit, they made a movie about a boxing kangaroo.

You think the studios don’t fuck with every single producer?? They have departments devoted to it.

Where does one buy glasses that appear to have been made out of elegant dollhouse toilet seats?

Are you fucking kidding??! He’s a little kid!! I have a MAJOR problem with her hitting a child because he’s trying to get into a swimming pool! You think the issue is whether or not he’s a resident, rather than he’s actually somebody else’s child?! Do you have kids? If so, do you want me to decide if they need to be

Those lyrics read like Springsteen after taking a blow to the head.

My God, the knee-jerk hyperventilation over this woman is astonishing. Regardless of what’s happened at Beyonce’s shows during a tour THAT’S STILL TAKING PLACE, those moments are not “iconic,” and I’m not saying Beyonce isn’t talented or rich or beautiful or anything else. Beyonce hanging from a cable in a green cape

I’m white and grew up in Alabama. I’m personally rejoicing over it because a bunch of dumb white assholes got the shit kicked out of them by a group of Black people who were not having it. It’s no more complex than that from where I’m sitting. I bet I’ve watched it twenty times, and I’ll probably watch it again

Sly Stone is still trying to make it to some of his shows from the mid-1970s.

It’s not every day that the words “piles of puke” can be found in an article about Beyonce.

How wonderful that Kanye is no longer anti-Semitic!

He’s practically Foghorn Leghorn with a piano.

Let’s see Ohtani do THAT!

He’s more than a little bit superb in L.A. Confidential, and nothing will keep me from re-watching L.A. Confidential when I get the craving.

Quaid’s performance as Jerry Lee Lewis is one of the more idiotic things I’ve ever seen from a solid actor. It’s just jaw-dropping how terrible it is, like he’s in an SNL skit about rednecks.

I would argue she turned hot.

My friend worked on the Pacino film, Sea of Love, years ago. He said when they shot close-ups, Pacino would ask the director to shoot them two or three times so he could alter what he did with his eyes to convey slightly different emotions. This is not common practice. Many actors can barely manage one emotion.

I think it’s a weak-ass movie with a few funny moments. Beyond that, he could just walk home. But then there’s no movie.

And they end up not getting the credit for the article they wrote.
