I’m putting together a crime, law/justice film course for next Spring and I’m certain I will show Fritz Lang’s 1931 film “M”. Here’s the final scene where Peter Lorre — before a kangaroo court convened by the Berlin underworld — gives his “testimony”. It is still a relevant film in its treatment of [...] Mr. Sideous asks in the comments if Dillard’s music can be bought? Oh yes. It. Can. Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Matt Damon was always a liberal, but I don’t remember him spouting off at the rate he has now. That’s all fine, but as with most celebrity liberals, he needs to have the stick surgically removed from his ass. “Bond is an imperialist and a misogynist who kills people and laughs about it, and drinks Martinis [...]
If watching Ashton Kutcher break his neighborly pledge within the span of a week isn’t enough to fill your insides with a bit of warmth, here’s the best parody ever of the infamous celebrity Riefenstahl-esque “Yes We Can” video. Not sure if this hasn’t been posted yet, but it’s still worth another look. The wrong [...] I’m not a lot like you are. Threedonians… raise your beer to Mr. Sidney Barrister. Example 4,589,430 of the de-ballification of Western men. Share on Facebook (*that’s a vinyl iPod, for all you kids born after 1980) I tried to narrow it down. Originally it had to be “Five Coolest Album Names That Are NOT Also A Song On The Album”, but that would’ve left out Breakfast in America & the coolest cover of all time: Elton John came in with two on my list [...] Suppose I should be impressed a Democrat’s owning up to his mistake (or what certain fans think’s a mistake), but still think Springsteen’s looking for one more way to play up his “big week.” Eh, still give him credit for drawing back the curtains from his mansion on the hill to pay attention to swirling [...] Since the Dallas Cowboys messed up their chance to be in the NFL playoffs — does God really care about the Super Bowl? Not all that much I’d wager. But the great homophobe pastor Rick Warren sent this Biblical study to his congregation to help determine which team God might favor. Tongue [...] Share on Facebook This recently discovered planet — has “hot flashes”, wild swings in climate and is completely incompatible with human life. Astronomers have found a planet with a galactic case of hot flashes. In just six hours, this planet four times the size of Jupiter heats up by more than 1,200 degrees, according to a study published in [...] Because, dear readers, it costs you nothing. Above is the official Threedonia Reader Super Bowl Squares. It’s final score only, and the prize? Chuck offered to send the winner his special-recipe buttered toast, but I’m not sure our liability insurance covers ptomaine poisoning. Instead, I will make the winner a video, on any subject he [...] Not that it hasn’t been surreal living in the Prairie State for the past two months, but attending a performance of “Spamalot” on the evening that Blago got the Boot-o was surreal-squared. The cast, bless their souls, inserted a couple of Blago-mocks into the script, which everyone in the audience appreciated. This included, in the [...] I just spoke to Rich for the first time in my life. Cat’s got a baritone more velvety than Lou Rawls! Nothing like what I would have thought an Environmental Engineer would sound like. If George Lucas needs a stand in for Lord Vader in “Star Wars VII, the Quest to Bleed More Blood from [...] In what I believe is a Threedonia first I am blogging from a moving El train, about 15 feet above Chicago’s southwest side; the Orange line. Anybody have a translation guide to gangland graffitti handy? And it’s a balmy 14 degrees here! All the cars are covered in grey and salt and there’s about 3 inches [...] Greg Gutfeld’s most recent Big Hollywood post is hilarious and disturbing, much like the Great One hisself (a caution, and don’t say you weren’t warned: if you’re not familiar with his humor, this may not be the way to introduce yourself). Here’s the t-shirt it inspired, via tinypics.com: Share on Facebook The world’s first? and biggest? sports stadium made entirely from snack foods! I love the United States of America! The bacon wall is the most important part of the stadium, because it keeps the throngs of screaming fans, in this case chips, from falling on the field, in this case the guacamole and salsa. Insert tooth [...] Midway through Christopher Nolan’s tour de force comes the realization that you are no longer watching a movie, as much as experiencing one. It’s a ride – like watching Star Wars for the first time or Raiders of the Lost Ark – except this is no popcorn-chewer. This is a great film, a work of [...] So I’m over at Big Hollywood, reading this post and trying to come up with just the right words to define the inanity when I see our own texacalirose’s name in the comments! So I say to myself, “Self, relax. Texacali is on the job. Just go read her comment and in her typical, erudite [...] Latest installment of Mr.EPluribus, no cross-post click necessary… Share on Facebook I found this exchange between Mark Steyn and Hugh Hewitt interesting: (Go here for the whole interview.) HH: …a lot of people have missed the Obama appeal to Arabiya, and the fact that he didn’t bring up its gender apartheid, Christopher Hitchens calls it. It’s where gays are executed. And he made no rebuke to these [...] I can’t think of any commentary to add to this, Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Don’t say you weren’t warned. Hackers. That’s what they want you to think. Share on Facebook As a Catholic kid raised in the school of fear and guilt (F ‘N’ G as mom still calls it), who the hell does this guy think he is invoking the word shameful??? That’s right, fellow Threedonians, a fun little game to play as we see where this word as it applies to his political career [...] A doctor and his wife ‘fess up to playing a joke on The British Medical Journal — 34 years ago. The only thing better would’ve been if they’d signed the letter “Dr. Michael Hunt”. Share on Facebook When considering the much-anticipated debut of her avatar, Kath said: “Could I have a lovely pair of charming high heels? Perhaps in red?” Well, we’re all about providing service to our readers (as opposed to servicing our readers – that’s somebody else’s department) here in Threedonia. So I went on a quick internets shopping trip, with [...] Tired of the same old, Turducken every Superbowl? How about something new this year? Do you like bacon? Of course you do! Do you like sausage? Heck yeah! Barbecued Pork? Sure! Meet the Bacon Explosion (from the New York Times): … He bought about $20 worth of bacon and Italian sausage from a local meat market. As [...] The above ad was deemed too racy by NBC for the Super Bowl and was banned. “Vegetarians have better sex” the ad claims. I defer to June on that. At least skankoid deluxe Pam Anderson’s not in it. I hear Hep-C ruins the taste of asparagus. Share on Facebook The Messiah’s plan to give aid and comfort to the enemy has been dealt a bit of a setback, as a military judge at Gitmo refused to delay the hearings of the guys who attacked the USS Cole for 120 days, as the new obamastration had requested. The judge’s reasoning had something to do with [...] Courtesy of Yahoo, which has this whopper on the very top of its news links on the front page. “Analysis: GOP defying Obama overtures of bipartisanship.” The story is by Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen of the Politico, and isn’t one-sided like the fatuous headline. It’s about the stimulus bill. The headline completely ignores that 11 Democrats [...] It’s nearly SuperSunday! Who will win the Big Game? What will the final score be? Who will be the MVP? Share on Facebook Alright, the dust is starting to settle. I’ve done the major stuff I needed to do; archives work, categories work, comments rss feed, images upload in IE, default avatars that June Cleaver said made her look fat gone, Marx Bros. on top… There’s still some minor tweaking to go, but the big stuff is out [...] Here’s a post celebrating the hard work of Rufus in his current redesign of the Site. As you can see, he continues to be hard at work. Share on Facebook I don’t know if this is true or merely apocryphal, but I got this in an e-mail from a friend — either way it’s funny. The e-mail is entitled “Always Check Your Child’s Homework”: Here’s the reply the teacher received the next day: Dear Mrs. Jones, Here’s a great post from Car Lust blog on 1975 Buicks and father-son remembrances. h/t: Instapundit Share on Facebook …you think things look different out here… Wait ’til my compatriots see the view from their side of the screen! Boy, is the user dashboard different! Sorry team! The good news is the image uploader seems to work fine in IE. The bad news is I can’t find anything else. I’m trying to fix the header photo back [...] The archives and category links have never worked on our site. There is no comments rss feed. The margin doesn’t allow for more ads… Threedonia is looking the worse for wear, so, I’m going to try to fix it. In other words, I’m about to make some changes that will almost certainly result in the [...] It’s the game show everyone is playing, “Numberwang,” from “That Mitchell and Webb Look” And here it is in German for our Deutsch Sprecheners…
Share on Facebook The tragedy of the Lupoe family is beyond words. Maybe, in some accurate, clinical sense, this really is “Narcissism.” I don’t know. I know little of Psychology, although I do know that “narcissism” is a recognized mental condition, or psychosis. My guess is this has nothing to do with “Narcissism.” You are right that the father’s [...] I thought we could use a little uptick in our day, so I give you a little Updike. Lovely words from a terrific sportswriter, Joe Posnanski of the Kansas City Star: “For me,” Updike wrote, “[Ted]Williams is the classic ballplayer of the game on a hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at [...] Don’t make me feel your pain. I’m sorry you lost your job. It’s not about your job, it’s not about your house, it’s not about your humiliation or what you’re children think about you. What did you think about when when you shot each one of your girls? Your boys? [...] How much is your life worth? I don’t know, but $5,000 is not enough for a broken nose and some bruises AND YOUR LIFE you whimpering simp? While I hate to wish ill on the living… if this guy sues for more money (a lot more) then I hope he actually has some [...] Why do I use the above image for the Quiz Time! category?
