Why Ebert quit watching Allen is completely different to why I did. Allen is like Larry David in that his NY-centric worldview assumes conservatives are wrong about everything and leftists are right, even when they are wrong. I don’t need that kind of propaganda yelled at me constantly when I’m trying to be entertained.

More famous for being a drugged out slut than a movie star (seeing as she was only known for one role in 3 different movies).
Her other best known role was a cameo in Blues Bros. How sad is that?

Stupidity from some douchebag named S.T. VanAirsdale over at Movieline, who should stick to pimping for Hollywood movies and not attempt politics and current events: they just don’t have the intellect for it.

MANDY: Well, Brian,… your father isn’t Mr. Cohen.
BRIAN:I never thought he was.
MANDY:Now, none of your cheek! He was a Roman, Brian. He was a
centurion in the Roman army.
BRIAN:You mean… you were raped?
MANDY:Well, at first, yes.

Inventive and imaginative and fun to watch. These must have taken a great deal of time to make, and are well done stop-motion animation.

Since no one wants to see photos of John Cusack, here are photos of Cusack’s “Say Anything” co-star, Ione Skye nude — click to embiggen BUY IT on Amazon
You know, I like Cusack’s movies. I also like the way my mechanic fixes my car and the way my plumber fixes my sink.
But I pay them for that, not to their lame-brained theories on politics. Cusack has a platform because he’s a movie star, and he mistakes that platform and the interest people have for him as an actor for interest in anything he has to say about politics.
He also mistakes the attention given a celebrity with people giving a shit about his opinion. Why actors believe they are uniquely qualified, out of all the professions, to give us the benefit of their wisdom, is probably due to the fact that people are kissing their ass from the time they get up ’til the time they are going to bed, and they start believing their own press releases.
Some of John’s “brilliance”:
Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness– and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they’re selling– their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
How about the corporations who make movies, huh John? The ones who have enriched you? How about if we refuse to buy what they are selling, “their ideas, their version of history” especially? How’s about them apples John? Being John Malkovich was still a great movie though.
I can’t imagine any group less qualified and intelligent about political matters, and with less credibility with which to lecture the rest of us poor dumb bastards, unless its rock musicians.

Liveleak was hosting the Fitna video, which, if you don’t know, is a video collage of Koranic scripture juxtaposed with images of Islamofascist violence.
Unremarkably , some adherents to the Religion of Peace are taking exception and protesting vehemently in their customary civilized and rational fashion.
Just kidding.
They are threatened to kill Liveleak employees, so they caved and removed it:

Usually, Hollywood stars are better not seen or heard at all outside of their movies. I don’t care to hear my plumber tell me how Dubya Chimpy BusHitlerHalliburton fucked up the war, and I don’t care to hear some air-headed Hollywood starlet expound on the economy.
So, to be consistent, whether they support the war or deplore it in the most ignorant and irrational form.

Well, after reading for months how homophobic, 19th century redneck attitudes of the folks in red-state America were limiting Brokeback’s sales in the heartland, I guess Hollywooders showed themselves to be hypocrites by chickening out on giving the any of the gay shepherds or their movie the Oscar (except Ang Lee for director, which might amount to a ‘career accomplishments’ award).

Yeah yeah, we’re all supposed to hate on Mel Gibson. Personally, I don’t think its that big a deal, in fact, namecalling and tirades when appropriate are perfectly acceptable. If one of my gay friends is being a douche, I say “hey you little faggot, knock that shit off”, just like Isaiah Washington, and I can’t get fired for it either.
Boohoo. Supposedly the assholes who made a film about Bush being assassinated, then the US falling into a Republican controlled fascist dictatorship claim their lives have been threatened.
Every leftard who receives a nasty email starts crying about having their lives threatened. The Ditsy Chicks milked an entire documentary whinging about how they had received mean mail and bloggers and radio heads had said unkind things about them just because they had claimed America sucks while overseas.
Poor fucking babies:
A lost post from when I was writing at NER. Thanks to Betsy’s Page for saving it, and Lorie Byrd and Don Singleton for linking it back then.
Anyone else thing Michael “Mockumentary” Moore’s new film Sicko might face a backlash? Republicans and non-moonbats are never going to see it anyway, and the left might be aware of the fact that firing up the choir notwithstanding, if anything, F911 probably had a negative effect on Kerry’s chances in 2004.
I dunno probably just a coincidence, but I’m a YUGE Macca fan and this pic reminded me of an old old album back pic of his. Compare.
update: fucking Perez fucking hilton– I send him a tip about this and he posts it and doesn’t credit me. Thanks dude. You are so gay, and not in the good way.
update update: whereas Agent Bedhead is a classy babe 😉
I was ruminating on the bent bodies and misshapen skulls and unfortunate distribution of facial features in a pic of Mary Kate & Ashley (or “Mashley”, as I call them for short) and their troll-like features, and it came to me that they are only fugly by human standards.

Dear Mike,
Maybe you’ve seen Penn’s freakout on the Southpark guys over “Team America“, which I plan to see tomorrow btw. If you read this: Sean Penn Loses It you will get his major point, that having been to Iraq makes him an expert, and he will condescend to “show Parker and Stone” around the place, since he’s so familiar and knowledgable, and he’ll make them ashamed and sad.
