Ever make a typo? I did one Tim.
#59 Good god. He really IS the Steven Seagal of Kevin Sorbos.
What second home (in reasonable condition and in a place you’d want to live) costs $160,000? Cuz sign me TF up. The house next door to me sold for $1 million a year ago and it’s a dump.
Points still stands. Even if it was the operator, this was an idiotic choice.
Ha. I have not watched this movie since its release, but in quiet moments while I’m washing dishes or tying my shoes or doing some other mundane task, I think of that line maybe…once a month? Hackman’s disdain and contempt for Beatty’s presumption was perfect.
Fucking pointless. If you’re going to put music into videos, put some thought into the music. Amazing editing tools in the hands of people who have no sense of how to edit, of when to add music, of which music to use even. What does “just the two of us“ have to do with a slag heap of scrap metal? Idiotic. I’m with you; I would much rather have heard just the sound of metal moving against a metal.
Wait until you hear about flour!
When you grew up gay in the 1980s, as older siblings’ friends were dying en masse of AIDS, Kinison comes along and makes money equating us to necrophiliacs and zoophiles, making AIDS jokes. We endured schoolmates, neighbors, and coworkers repeat his bits verbatim with glee through the 90s. I don’t think if it as losing him so much as being rid of him. He’s gone? Good.
Amazing to think it, but coked up rage wasn’t universally adored even then.
I got off a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles, about 15 hours long. I was taken aback at How. Much. Trash. passengers left behind. The cabin looked like a crack house.
Not to be mistaken for a Hole of Glory, not even JK Simmons style — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_(film)
#5 Madame, we are gay. We can’t be bothered about the worm girlfriends. Those pockets are for sunglasses and poppers.
I saw something about her saying that she never saw the current president in an inappropriate situation. Madame, he was in your company. That is, in itself, an inappropriate situation. No one should be in your company.
It almost physically hurts to see – and especially hear – that intensity of stupidity.
Agreed. Alan Carr makes it all about himself with the guests as props. Makes it hard to watch.
Yep. I’ve done a few shows and always appreciate comedians who work the crowd before the event actually starts. By the time I’m mic’d, the audience is in a good mood, relaxed, and have been primed to laugh. Warm-up comics and regulars are fantastic support. Or, now that I think of it, maybe special guests are just a hit of spice on the genius of the regulars, straightmen for the real talent.
ERRRRRRTTT would you like to go ask Taiwanese citizens here and now today what they think of current Chinese imperialism? GTFO, stooge.
Norton is a particularly good interviewer. He facilitates conversations among interesting people, his staff do extensive research so he’s primed with good questions, and he never lets a silent moment dangle longer than it requires. Also? Guests who drink are plied with just enough. It’s a smart format well executed.
“No history of overseas imperialism“ — lol. Taiwan would like a word.
#16 I used to want a Jeep. Cool, iconic American brand. Then rented one for a weeklong California road trip. Oh, my god. So rickety and unforgiving, so hard on my ass, the thing shook like Katherine Hepburn sticking a fork in an electrical socket. Cured me of ever wanting to own one. Still look kinda cool, though, I’ll give ‘em that.
I believe Langston Hughes covered such concerns when he queried “What happens to a dream deferred?”
Thank you for that. I do genuinely appreciate it. Not every post needs context, not every meme dump an explanation, but these sorts of posts do benefit even from just a little thumbnail of what’s going on. The old journalists’ mantra of who, what, where, when, why remains a powerful way to get readers on board quickly
Baby, you gotta give some context. Is this your dad, op? Some important American judge who stood up to fascism? An outstanding hobbyist pizza maker? Gary Gygax IRL? Come on, help us understand why this one makes you sad.
#11 Ok, well I wanna fuck guys half my age. What do now?
Also, if you are prone to melancholy or sadness, or have full-on depression, get some ducks. I can confirm: those slap-footed, quackety butt-wigglers are fantastic to have around. But I never had them at the same time as other animals, and have heard that they can be mean to other birds. I never saw that myself. But I believe people who say it. Oh, and they shit a lot. Careful where you let them roam.
Same, but not overwhelmingly so. This has merit.
I live in Southern California, where film and fame are literally our businesses. It’s a whole sector of our economy. I think you underestimate the burning, driving desire for some people to be on screens. [Tangentially, there seems to be a RuPaul drag queen movie coming: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/03/19/while-other-states-chase-hollywood-california-locks-in-record-breaking-film-slate/]
Fun fict: all those cooktops are made by fish. Hence the “fin.”
