Not to front for this nutjob, but I’m pretty sure in a choice between believing Joel Osteen and believing ______, you choose _______.

Prosperity Gospel might well be the most toxic shit to have hit America in the past 150 years - the amount of horrific things that trace back to it is just astounding.

I don’t know who to believe: This (recently deceased) lady who said that God wants me to be thin, or Joel Osteen who says that God wants me to be rich. Does God want me to be thin AND rich!!?!

The husband wasnt much better. Apparently he was a boy toy she hooked up with when her looks were going and she started to realize it. He was a B actor who had done a Tarzan show so apparently he looked good with his shirt off. He then tried doing a country music thing but it didn’t go anywhere.

So I thought that picture was an exageeration- surely no one had hair that looked like that on the regular?

Blazing Saddles is really sort of a unique success, those parody movies are usually such a mess, and it is not NOT a mess, but there is a discipline and pace and quality to it that puts it over. I imagine having a great writer helped.

It’s more than likely prepositioning for the upcoming WGA strike.

And thus the superiority of physical media is once again asserted.

They are available on Disney+.  This is only for shows not available on any streaming service.

Good news, folks! The guy who creeped on underage girls and sent an unsolicited DM to a woman asking her to “write a song about 9 Dick’s [sic] of different sized and ethnic origins hanging above [her] face, and then in the lyrics describe how they each splatter [her] with semen” beat the rap!

...beg pardon?

My Favorite Year, very under-acknowledged movie.

When the sources are the daily mail and the sun, I sincerely doubt any story.

Blazing Saddles alone is a greater contribution to cinema than many lauded screenwriters are able to manage in their entire careers. Based on the quotes and anecdotes in this article, he was also just a real mensch as well.

This is going to make a certain set of ‘Rick and Morty’ fans insufferable. Well, more insufferable. Well, probably the same level of insufferable but in a different way.

I hear Jeff Garlin’s schedule has opened up too.

“My money is useful!”

I think this shows Joss Whedon was smart for being nice to some people who could then say “well, he was always nice to me” rather than just pissing everyone off.

In 2007 the pound was worth twice the dollar. It slowly tanked since the Tories destroyed the economy post 2008-9 financial crash, and has occasionally been at parity recently.

That’s a sad comment on the state of the UK economy. When I was a kid £33,000 would have been over $40k, I’m sure. Maybe even up to $45k.
