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 [...] 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 As only he can, my friend (and friend of Threedonia) Jack Marino has been letting loose the hounds of hell on Tom Hanks (and Hollywood) in the comments section over at Big Hollywood. For those who don’t slog through those parts, notably the comments, which can admittedly get out of control sometimes, thought it’d be [...] Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic Monthly posted this recently regarding Ohio’s U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman. Et tu, Rob Portman? Ye of sensibility and rectitude? Ye of maturity and political resolve? Despite inquires from the Cincinnati Enquirer and Plain Dealer, Portman’s campaign won’t directly answer the question of whether the candidate believes that President [...] 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’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 [...] The Grim Reaper's favorite ride, before the Prius. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Audi was gripped with a crisis. It’s car, the Audi-5000, was linked with SAIs – Sudden Acceleration Incidents. The vehicle would allegedly speed off while the helpless driver gripped the wheel in sheer terror while unavailingly mashing one’s foot through [...] 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 Conrad Black doesn’t find American exceptionalism to be all that exceptional. There is no doubt that this is the country’s longstanding self-image, and the American genius for the spectacle, for public relations and advertising, which is as old as the republic, gathered much credence for this version of events, through the polemical [...] 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… [...] Fitting, the day the United States sets a record for debt in a month ($220 billion, up 14-percent from last year’s already staggering number) we get news from Greece. The Greek government is run by the Socialist party. The Socialist party spent money until it no longer could, resulting in the collapse of its economy [...] 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 [...] Glenn Beck has never been to my taste, but I’m glad he’s out there. (Pun intended). Beck serves a role. When it comes to challenging the socialist in chief and his economic plans, we need guys like Beck who can drive home the message in an entertaining way that Joe Everyman will digest. What Beck is [...] 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 [...] The latest from Christopher Hitchens touches on a Saudi Arabian legal firm and its efforts to extort several Danish newspapers for reprinting the infamous Muhammed cartoons from several years ago. [I]t is my belief that your newspaper’s fulfillment of the above-mentioned conditions would be perceived as a sign of respect and understanding throughout the [...] I’ve only seen a couple of episodes of Undercover Boss on CBS.- Each week the CEO of a major corporation goes undercover to work somewhere within his corporation. It’s a great concept and a great reality show. Kudos to CBS for doing it. This is from the 7-Eleven episode. This is [...] Last week I posted on Democratic Congressman Eric Massa in Dutch for “sexually harassing” a “junior” male staffer. Well, as with most things related to the House of Representatives in the Age of Obama it seems there’s more — a LOT more to the story. Outlaw had linked to a bit from [...] Given the supposed fiscal priorities of the new, better-than-ever, GOP, where were they during Jim Bunning’s budget stand last week? Michelle Malkin takes the party to task for its lack of testicular fortitude. And you know that it’s the question that will hang over the Republican Party from now until November as it tries to persuade [...] Mainly when they trash each other. Olbermann was unimpressed with ESPN’s Bill Simmons inference that Tiger Woods comeback was analogous to Muhammed Ali’s, a point I would argue, that was made more for page hits and shock value than as an honest analysis. Olbermann, unsurprisingly, was the first to attack. In the interim I am again left [...] First term Massachusetts Congressman Eric Massa — a DEMOCRAT — is not seeking reelection this fall. He says the reason is his health… others say it is that he made unwanted advances to a male staffer. Massa is married with kids. From Politico.com: First-term Rep. Eric Massa announced Wednesday that he will not seek reelection, [...] Share on Facebook Whomever came up with this ad concept deserves a huge bonus. He cracks me up. Share on Facebook Threedonia friend, sometime Radio Free Threedonia co-host Daniel Crandall has a great post over at his home digs — S.T. Karnick’s The American Culture — highlighting an idea that Sarah Palin would be better served by forgoing a political run for a career as a media player — a la Oprah Winfrey. Daniel points us to [...] Alec Baldwin will resume co-hosting duties alongside Robert Osborne on Turner Classic Movies’ “The Essentials” on March 8. First up will be Elia Kazan’s A Streetcar Named Desire. I have wanted to hate Baldwin for at least a decade, but dammit between Hunt For Red October, The Cooler, (he was the best thing [...] Today’s movie goers are accustomed to getting lectured at the cinemaplex. Narrative films (“Lions for Lambs”) and documentaries alike (“Food, Inc.,” “Capitalism: A Love Story”) jam their perspectives down the viewers’ throats. But horror movies are often far more effective vehicles for sending socially aware messages.And genre fans don’t seem to mind. Zombie king George A. Romero may [...] I’ve listened to Glenn Beck off and on (mostly off) for more than 10 years. I’m sure we agree on most things on some level and he’s probably a nice guy to hang out with — if he can sit still to hang out for more than 10 minutes. I’ve rarely had moments [...] I don’t watch any enough NBA basketball or enough NCAA games to be too familiar with these Nike commercials featuring Kobe Bryant and LeBron James puppets. Terence Moore, a write at NBA Fanhouse thinks they have gone into Amos N Andy territory (for you young ‘uns). He writes: OK, I’ll admit it. In [...] Dig the classic WWII airplanes and the models are as lovely as ever, but what is up with that annoying music? Share on Facebook A funny thing happened on the way to work today – an amazing thing actually – I was listening to ESPN and I found myself agreeing with Stuart Scott 100%. Everyone was all abuzz about the (then upcoming) Tiger Woods’ press conference, speculating about what he might say and what he should say. As my [...] From Nick Gillespie at Reason — go read the whole thing: No one is more self-dramatizing on cable news than male hysteric, unsolicited janitor of Cooperstown, and Countdown host Keith Olbermann, who includes more special effects during his Castro-length “Special Comment” segments than Mikhail Kalatozov did in I Am Cuba (one cinematically exemplary rant remains Commandante [...] According to Hannity, the left – led by James Carville (yikes!) – is initiating an “investigation” into the tea party movement. Good luck with that Jimmy. Sure, he might turn up a couple of photos of Porvaznik in compromising positions, but who hasn’t? The left, as it so often does, is engaged in mirror thinking here. [...] What is it with the Gray Lady? The New York Times is the purported bible of my profession, often treated as beyond reproach, despite all the recent embarrassments of Judith Miller and Jayson Blair, or what most papers would consider embarrassments. The paper reacted strangely to the Judith Miller debacle, not taking issue so much [...] From Under The Radar , The Military.com entertainment blog comes this piece of something. The White Stripes were understandably pissed off after the Air Force Reserve ran a commercial during the Super Bowl that ripped off their song “Fell in Love With a Girl.” The band released a statement on their website: “We believe our song was [...] As collected by the indefatigable Daily Caller. The erstwhile congressman from Rhode Island is calling it quits, coincidentally as his chances for re-election fade. The voters of Rhode Island have indeed been forgiving. First elected to the state’s house of representatives in 1988 at the age of 21, and to the U.S. House six [...] I have been amused and sickened by the latest campaign of N.O.W. (Nat’l Organization of Weenie-haters) to smear Focus on the Family — the sponsor of the infamous Pam/Tim Tebow ad — you know the one that argues that having a child is a good thing — so he can then abuse you. Now [...] Jon Stewart is such a master of irony, he stole a joke about shop-lifting. The Daily Caller has the scoop on Stewart, who used this rather flat anecdote last night in regard to Sarah Palin’s palm-written speech notes. “You really need to remind yourself to ‘lift American spirits?’” Stewart asked Palin sarcastically, referring to one [...] I wondered how long into Monday’s post-Super Bowl coverage it would take for the “Manning choked” meme to spread, and it didn’t take long. On ESPN this afternoon was a full-bore segment on “Manning’s legacy.” Given Manning possibly has five years left in his career – at the least – it may be early to [...] Here is that outrageous and woman-hating anti-choice Tim Tebow ad that those homophobic zombie-worshiping Christianists aired in the Super Bowl pre-game. Stay tuned during the game for more woman-hating propaganda. Watch it — if you can. /snark off/ Anyone who sees anything sinister in this ad needs some serious spiritual help. You [...] First… kudos to Marvel for setting the upcoming Captain America movie back in the 1940s so they could make him more patriotic. Jeers for thinking that only the 1940s would support a flag-waving (and wearing) patriot without any risk of eye-rolling. I’ve always thought Cap would be difficult to film — I mean [...] |
