We spend a fair amount of time bashing mainstream media journalist types around here — after all they generally suck or worse — they mislead. Well FOX News’ Brett Baier interviewed Rufus’ favorite President the other day and hit it out of the park. He did an outstanding job. Obama — arrogance [...] Share on Facebook My Darling Clementine (1946) Tomorrow night is Wyatt Earp night on TCM with this [...] These fighters are sons of bitches. From the Times of London: Dropping from 10,000ft, they glide in order to land unnoticed. The dogs often carry cameras and are trained to attack anyone carrying a weapon. “Dogs don’t perceive height difference, so that doesn’t worry them. They’re more likely to be bothered by the roar of the [...] I knew this kid (my sister knew them much better) when he was knee high to a grasshopper (and his older brother) — would not have pegged them for this back then or even up until into junior high. I guess it’s called growing up for a reason. Share on Facebook It seems in their zeal to denigrate America and her armed forces including it’s former Commander in Chief, Matt Daemon, Paul Greengrass, and Universal (as in Universally detested) have killed another America-hating franchise: But here’s the problem: Desperate to find a way to open the picture, Universal marketed the movie — as anyone who saw the [...] The movie channels can go screw themselves… yeah they’ve got Irish themed films on tomorrow,but no The Quiet Man, No The Fighting 69th, not even The Commitments or Once. It’ll be a sadder day tomorrow without Duke, Maureen, Victor, and Ward on the tube. Share on Facebook And also the doctor’s gonna give you money and you get to sleep with the nurse. And one other thing… Free drugs! h/t: JJ Share on Facebook Share on Facebook I love the movie My Man Godfrey. I love William Powell’s urbane butler, Carole Lombard’s quirky blond screwball energy, but it’s the cool sophisticated older sister — the icy bitch that Godfrey thaws that completes the picture. This is that woman: Gail Patrick was never the biggest star in Hollywood, but when they needed [...] Kickin’ it old school… somehow it seems apropos given Jack Benny’s on screen penchant for penny pinching. Share on Facebook James Cameron wants to re-release Titanic in 3-D: Filmmaker James Cameron has confirmed he will bring Titanic back to the big screen in 3D. The director recently joked about updating the 1997 blockbuster using the same technology that brought his Oscar-winning epic Avatar to life. And now he has confirmed he is serious about plans to rerelease [...] The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) I know Matt will beat me about the head and shoulders for not picking the Kurosawa trio [...] Yeah I subscribe to HBO: Sopranos, From the Earth to the Moon, Band of Brothers, The Wire, Taking Chance, Gathering Storm, Conspiracy, Citizen X, Fatherland, Stalin, Truman, etc., etc. Fine entertainment all produced by HBO. That’s not to mention Gran Torino, Taken, The Dark Knight, etc. I have ON Demand and in Hi-Def for [...] I had a picture of Julius Caesar getting murdered… Big Government and many others have the same pic. Since I can’t stand to be part of the crowd I’m changing my pic. Share on Facebook The first episode was a bit slow… exposition and all that, but well done over all. The above has a preview of coming episodes… I especially like the boot camp speech by MOH winner John Basilone. Anyway… no sucker punches tonight and the word “yellow” and “Jap” are thrown about, but it seemed [...] For some reason this color version is edited. If you feel the need for the entire song in Black and White here it is. Share on Facebook I’m somewhat relieved that California is not the only screwed up place…. Come on Memphis — straighten up! Stolen from the AP (who can go “F” themselves): Two guns used in high-profile shootings this year at the Pentagon and a Las Vegas courthouse both came from the same unlikely place: the police and court system [...] Miller’s Crossing (1990) I finally saw the HBO documentary Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals last night. Like most documentaries… when it sticks to the subject — Magic and Bird — it is riveting. I also saw more fundamentally sound basketball in 5 minutes of highlights than one would see in 5 games of today’s [...] There should be nothing but unalloyed anticipation for tonight’s premiere of The Pacific, thank you Tom Hanks for ruining that. I’m mostly optimistic. Share on Facebook Road to Zanzibar (1941) I love these films — a great way to spend a Sunday. Yesterday we were talking about “the good old days”. [...] Share on Facebook John Adams, American Founder and talented lawyer, represented the British soldiers prosecuted for the “Boston Massacre”. There has been a move — successfully — to get the Obama DOJ to release the names of seven political appointees in the Attorney General’s office who voluntarily represented Gitmo detainees — aka captured member of al-Qaeda. [...] So we’re talking about sentencing and punishment today in my Courts/Criminal Procedure class and one of students makes a comment that we should have a return of gladiator battles for punishment. “For whom?” I ask. “Child molesters” he says. So then I ask if he expected them to have slap fights in [...] Ride The High Country (1962) True Grit is on at 4:00 PM before this and while I like that film a lot, I don’t think it’s even [...] I’m not really sure what to add to this. NSFW or kids… multiple F-bombs. Rated R for “f*&king awesome. Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Evil Dead II (1987) The lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits holds up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack. Who’s laughing now? You will be when you watch this. Bruce [...] Not for kids Tracy! or PC folks — which I guess is the same as kids. Share on Facebook Merlin Olsen (74) and Deacon Jones rush Johnny Unitas Merlin Olsen, NFL Hall of Fame defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams’ Fearsome Foursome, actor in the 1970s on Little House on the Prairie and Father Murphy, and football color commentator with Dick Enberg has died at age 69 of cancer. I liked Olsen a lot… [...] From Fox New York: Some New York City chefs and restaurant owners are taking aim at a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking. “No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of [...] Share on Facebook Eric during a broadcast of Radio Free Threedonia… For the second time our very own Eric Porvaznik will be cheating on us guest hosting Big Hollywood blogger Larry “Stage Right” O’Connor’s BlogTalk Radio show this evening from 9:00 — 11:00 PM PST. Call-in number is (347) 850-1946. Call in and ask any question [...] Rescue Dawn (2006) This is obviously a new one, but is and will remain [...] Nancy Pelosi, Rufus’ Speaker of the House, gave a speech to the Legislative Conference of the National Association of Counties yesterday. Her full remarks are here (if you dare): Here’s a snippet of what she said: You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t [...] Share on Facebook Earlier this past weekend a new commenter accused us, here in Threedonia, of being high brow because we poked fun at a enviro-comedy (oxymoronic) film called Furry Vengeance. In fact… SlipperyjackHawkEye (not his real name) wrote: What a bunch of High Brow folks hypocrites here, bet you never watch anything but PBS, and Roberta (1935) Tomorrow is Fred and Ginger night on TCM (Ginger Rogers is Star of the Month)… the usual favorites are there… The Gay Divorcee, followed by Top [...] Ban fishing? Obama is the one who is a barbarian… Here are some cultural offering for him: I’d include Moby Dick, but of course that was whaling. The person who does not appreciate hunting and fishing does not fully appreciate God’s creation. Share on Facebook As a post mortem on the Eric Massa brouhaha… I like the way Althouse summed it up: Massa says he was persecuted, and all he did was make a stupid drunken sexual remark at a New Year’s Eve party. If it wasn’t so bad, don’t resign. Man up, or shut up, Massa. If avoiding gov’t [...] |
