Will the horror ever end?

Harely-Davidson has been declared “doomed” since the 1960s (Hunter Thompson in Hell’s Angels) and again in the early 1980s by the staff of Car and Driver (who decided to ride various models of Harley as a kind of elegy/review). All the complaints about the bikes they make are legitimate, and they have been made for…

IZh was a car factory, a motorcycle factory, and a gunworks in the USSR. They gave us such Soviet standards as the IZh Kombi, which was/is the most common Russian-made estate car (station wagon) you will see on Russian roads, and the IZh Jupiter motorcycle with the powered-wheel sidecar.

Or J. Elvis Weinstein, the guy who was the first Dr. Forrester assistant (Dr. Laurence “Larry” Erhardt) and was Tom Servo/Gypsy.

The bigger mystery is why Dannette Chavez capitalized “von” when even IMDb gets that right.

To use a term Ernst-Hugo Järegård screamed off the roof in The Kingdom, “Danskjävlar!!”

“Who were we to tell?....

It’s probably pretty strange having the last name Weinstein and not being related to these guys, yet getting weird looks from people in restaurants when their party is called.

The Krill strike me as a culture that got invaded or badly stomped early on in their space age and that’s why they doubled down on worshiping Avis. It’s also an inversion on the Klingons, a culture which ditched theism early on (though they do believe in a life after death.) The kids on the ship were MacFarlane’s jab…

Will we have to sign up for emails called “Refngrams”?

That’s why I wrote “probably”.....it’s just his twitchiness speaks volumes, but then, he is kind of an awkward person to begin with.

Can we just call him “El Presidente Pussy-Graberino”, or is that too racist against Spanish speakers and Italians?

Bob Mueller has a guy researching if Preznit Dorito CAN pardon himself, so that Meuller can curb-stomp that shit to death.

Maybe sitting though films like Godard’s Week-end and Tarkovsky’s Stalker and Andrei Roublev made it seem zippier than it was, but the true patience-test is Breaking the Waves in the theater.

I first saw it in the 1990s and all the old-timey effects (fore-projection, back-projection, models, optical printer work) ganged with some of the weird color grading and other tricks was astounding. The plot is your standard noir mixed with Nazis - that might have driven you over the edge.

What do you expect from Woody Allen at this point?!?!?!?

I was going to add a footnote, but “von” is a German title of minor aristocracy. Lars Trier tacked it onto his name in film school; it’s a dumb joke because “Trier” is a town in Germany’s Rhineland. Oddly it sort of fits if you remove one of the “r”s from his name - a “Tier” in German is an animal, and he’s been kind…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Lars “von” Trier had one good film, Europa (aka Zentropa) and that was back in 1991. I can say this having sat through Breaking the Waves, The Idiots, The Kingdom, and The Five Obstructions - I got tired of slogging through his depression-and headache-inducing films (though The…

Ted Cruz IS a knob, but that goes without saying now.

It’s amazing that the political party that yelped the loudest about “defense” turned out to be the one who put forward Donald Trump as their candidate. The spinelessness of the GOP is amazing.
