  1. Okay, seriously, how the hell did I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco not even get nominated for Best Documentary?
  2. Maher was fine. The real telling point of Friday's episode was when "redneck liberal" Trae Caldwell came on and was all "the people in the South and Midwest have real problems and the Democrats do need to help them and speak more directly to them, instead of leaving them to just fend for themselves" and MTV News' Ana Marie Cox was all "Well, these people can just fuck off and die of starvation, these people are white so the hell with them." It's a definite example of the oncoming civil war the Dems are facing.
  3. Very surprised to read Kevin's hope for 2020. I'm personally getting a very strong "George McGovern 1972: Party of Acid, Amnesty, and Abortion" vibe from the current Democratic Party. I would fully expect the Dems to tear themselves apart over the next 4-8 years as the Bernie Socialists try to seize control of the party and push for a more radical, left wing agenda and the remaining Establishment and Centrist Democrats push back and try to hang on to power, all while the Republicans continue to control the Senate and House. The Democrats may win the White House in 2020 ala Jimmy Carter and Watergate, but I can see the actual power in Washington remaining with the GOP for the next decade or so as the Democratic Party wanders through the wilderness ala the Walter Mondale/Michael Dukakis years.
  4. I loved Robert Vaughn. One of those rare charactor actors like Christopher Lee or Donald Pleasance where they would take any job for money and would turn in a competent, quality performance no matter how bad the script. You want him to play the villian in BASEketball? No problem, so long as the price is right. You want him to fly over to England and spend two weeks going on morning chat shows to promote the release of The Man from U.N.C.L.E on Region 2 DVD? If the plane tickets are first class and the hotel accomodations are nice, you've got a deal. You want him to advertise your ambulance chasing law firm? Just make sure the check clears. Rest in peace to an actor who truly embodied the term "professional."
  5. Glad to see Mattie Franklin back. Her ritual execution remains one of the more disgusting incidents of "fridge stuffing" in modern comics.
  6. Hollow points are actually intended for unarmored people. The hollow point bullet "opens up" inside the victim and rips apart the guts and bones.
  7. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18009671/san-francisco-49ers-quarterback-colin-kaepernick-pay-attention-tuesday-election-results Dear Colin, While I do not agree personally with your decision to kneel during National Anthem, I acknowledge your right to exercise your Freedom of Speech. My issue with you continues to remain the fact that you should be doing more to fight for racial equality, instead of just kneeling. You should be using your millions of dollars to establish civic action groups who will lead voter registration drives, recruit minority candidates to run for political office, and recruit more blacks, Hispanics, and Asians to join law enforcement. In the grand scheme of things, simply taking a knee during the National Anthem ultimately isn't going to inspire racist New York cops to not racial profile black motorists, isn't going to inspire a racist waitress at an IHOP in Bumfuck, Alabama to be polite and considerate to the group of Pakistani customers that just walked in, and it isn't going to inspire people to not vote for Trump. This is the problem with Millennials, they think that simply Tweeting about something will bring about radical social change. You have to take physical action to change the system itself to make things better. Martin Luther King gave many speeches, but he also staged sit-ins and worked within the legal system to force change. Simply sitting on your ass and not voting, or taking a knee during what was originally a British drinking song, does nothing.

  9. Best Buy, Walmart, Kmart are all up at the usual places. Best Buy has a 4k 40" LED for $199, but it's a Toshiba, they also have a 40" 1080p 40" for $159, but it's an LG.
  10. After nine weeks of them telling me that the Browns offensive line is good, and Cody "Noodle Arm" Kessler is a great QB, I'm starting to think that the guys at Pro Football Focus are full of shit.
  11. NBC News says Rudy Giulliani as Attorney General (I like), Newt Gingrich as Sec of State (I don't like), and Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff (I...kinda like, I guess).
  12. http://deadline.com/2016/11/how-will-trump-victory-affect-media-companies-winners-losers-1201851613/ Some good news for a change about the Trump Presidency, with it hopefully becoming harder for China to invest in Hollywood films. I've personally become sick and tired of the "China Pandering" we've seen in movies over the last decade, especially the ludicrous scene in the last Transformers movie where we see the Chinese Defense Minister say "We will defend Hong Kong." Hopefully, idiocy like that will now come to an end.
  13. It depends on how much of Western Europe gets decimated by Russian nukes once Putin stages a full-scale invasion of The Ukraine and NATO is forced to openly declare war on Russia.
  14. A seperate party for Democratic Socialists? Yes. But making Bernie or Elizabeth Warren the Democratic Party nominee in 2020 and having them go on-stage at the DNC and tell old white people, who proudly voted for Nixon and Reagan in their youth, that they're going to jack up taxes even higher, grant broad amnesty for illegal aliens, legalize drugs and prostitution, force all Americans to scrap their cars and take the bus and light rail to travel everywhere, cut-off economic/military support for Israel until they grant independence to Palestinians, etc., etc., That's just going to cause Trump to win re-election by a bigger margin next time.
  15. They also said on the conference call that Madison Rayne is now on the booking committee.
  16. Okay, so what exactly are the Democrats and non-Trump Republicans going to do to HELP those Rust Belt workers? Apparently everyone just thought the Rust Belt didn't vote anymore and Trump saw that they voted more than anyone else and focused on appealing to them. Moving forward, both parties need to focus on bringing new jobs to the dying Midwest and revitalizing communities like Detroit, Akron, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. I can only imagine if Bernie Sanders had won the Democratic nomination, his Millennial-targeted populism would have pissed off Trump supporters even more and caused even more of them to come out and vote.
  17. Tom Brokaw looks horrible. Fuck cancer.
  18. The last gasp of white Baby Boomers before they die off and America becomes a "majority minority" nation. If anything, this will hopefully galvanize all peoples of all colors and faiths to become more involved in civic affairs.
  19. "Dog drops puck at hockey game" "$40 Discount On Amazon Echo" "Best Deals: Under Armour Fleece" "Trump Surrogate Criticizes Jay Z Video" Jesus Christ, Deadspin has become such a fucking joke.
  20. A very young Keith David shows Mr. Rogers how quarters are collected from arcade machines.
  21. http://deadline.com/2016/11/netflix-pauline-fischer-original-films-1201849888/ Pauline FIscher, the Netflix Original Films exec responsibe for critically acclaimed fare such as Beasts of No Nation and critically derided crap like Ridiculous 6 and XOXO has "voluntarily" left the company to start her own consulting firm. She was apparently fired for dumping a shitload of money into the Brad Pitt film War Machine as well as Will Smith's Bright.
  22. Dave will get two minutes into his monologue when he notices people in the audience filming him with their cell phones and he'll have his usual temper tantrum and stop telling jokes and just stand there on stage texting his buddies until finally they go to commercial, and Dave will just walk out of the studio after that.
  23. That scene was always great in showing that Raheem was just as racist and intolerant as the white cops that choked him to death.
  24. Okay, we white people are no longer allowed to complain about the Madea films making hundreds of millions of dollars if we've got movie execs paying Ang Lee to crank out this celebration of white trash redneck crap.
