Top Five: Last five movies

Some I’ve seen before. One made me wish I was blind. The last and latest five.

1. Better Off Dead: And the award for “Best Use of a Classic Van Halen Tune off the Women and Children First Album” is currently being decided by the soon-to-be-released Zombieland and this “Savage Steve Holland” classic. John Cusack’s best [...]

What Is A “Rape-Rape”?

Now I’m not one who buys into the “cult of the expert” in every area of our lives, but neither do experts get degrees in law, engineering, medicine, etc. because those things are completely areas of common sense. So when Whoopi Goldberg says that Roman Polanski’s attack on a 13-year old girl should be [...]

Daniel Rocks

Commenter Daniel posted a satirical vid he did in today’s Open Thread, but I am certain that the Threedonian Ruling Council would agree that it deserves a post of it’s own. It’s a mock of this piece of drivel. (Note: moronic link has been fixed). We learn two things in this video:

1) Daniel looks vaguely [...]

Why Roman Polanski Matters

Guest contribution from Stosh from the Sticks (aka: my big bro):

If you’re a good film-maker, one of your tasks is to set your audience’s attitude as concisely and solidly as you can.  Take “Braveheart” – before you even get a chance to develop a deep antipathy for Edward Longshanks, you will already have acquired an [...]

Mike and Leni: A Love Story

Michael Moore’s entire career, it seems to me, has been a cumulative civil service application through the medium of film. Moore would be his generation’s Leni Riefenstahl, although he would surely bridle at the comparison – or maybe not – but that’s what his film-making efforts amount to: the man who documents the glories and [...]

Crap of Bull #11 — School Days

Kostya receives a visit from an old friend before he settles into a New York state of mind for this week’s Biggest Pile of Crap. WTF?!? Not so hard to believe the anti-award must be shared.

They’re Real, And They’re Spectacular

For Kit…I couldn’t find a clip with the famous punch line from Seinfeld, so this will have to do.

Oh, It’s For Charity So It’s No Big Deal…

From my good friend ‘67 Cougar, comes this news…

The BoobyBall is coming!

From The Spec.com we get the scoop.

A new campaign for a breast-cancer fundraiser is raising eyebrows – and temperatures – as it makes the rounds of the internet.

Dubbed “Save the boobs”, it leaves little to the imagination. The spot is the brainchild of MTV [...]

It’s Lucy

It’s Lucy

This is Lucy Vodden… childhood friend of Julian Lennon and the “Lucy” of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds fame. She passed away today in Britain at age 46 of lupus.

“I remember Julian and I both doing pictures on a double-sided easel, throwing paint at each other, much to the horror of the classroom [...]

Exploding Bowels For Allah

Long story short: the a-hole’s at Al Qaeda are now using their a-holes for something other than storing the small amount of gray matter that Allah allocated to them. Specifically, at least one of them has used his colon as a shell casing, packing it full of explosives and then detonating himself in an attempt [...]

The Worst Movies of the Decade

This man appears to be watching 'Gigli.' Although it may be 'Glitter.'

Rotten Tomatoes has compiled a list of 100 films they consider to be the worst of the last ten years.

The fact that I haven’t seen any of these movies does not speak to my ability to sniff out a stinker, but more to [...]

Makes me want to scream

In the wake of all the Hughes love, glad I remembered this fun little ditty from Carl Reiner and watched it this past weekend. With summer now officially over (as punctuated for me at least with Chad Smith destroying his drum kit after playing every Chickenfoot song, AKA the party album of 2009, as well [...]

What Would Screwtape Say? (Bumped — as per Kit’s Request)

(Floyd Here: I originally posted this in March and the link to the full-article no longer works)

C.S. Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s — a story of a demon who counsels his young charge on how to properly tempt his human — a tour de force in human nature, the nature of evil, [...]

Monday Night Mashup

When All You Have Is A Hammer, Everything Begins to Look Like a Nail.

The other day I posted a defense of Plaxico Burress which was met by some with disdain — a disdain for individuals I find disconcerting in anyone and near distressing in those proclaiming to be conservative. I give those folks, my friends and compadres the benefit of the doubt (as they no doubt do [...]

Priorities

You know the President has them. Can he strong-arm the Copenhagen selection committee as only a Chicago thug knows how? We shall see …

“Who better to share with members of the International Olympic Committee the commitment and enthusiasm Chicago has for the Olympic and Paralympic Movement than the President and First Lady.”

Forty Nine Years Ago Today

A real American hero went out in style:

For JohnFN…

…and any other blues-lovin’ folks. Just watched this boy (all 22 years old) stand toe-to-toe with Joe Satriani, swappin’ solos on “Bad Motor Scooter” to close out the Chickenfoot show. Damn.

Sadly, no Davy Knowles, but what’cha gonna do…

Did Penn State lose this weekend? I don’t remember anymore.

Barack Obama may commit the ultimate sin. It’s one thing to be incompetent. Being arrogant is another. Strike three? Being a killjoy.

Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas,” the president said earlier this year. “Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and [...]

N.Y. Post: Commies frog-march Kyle Smith

Threedonia friend and N.Y. Post columnist Kyle Smith gave Michael Moore an easy out with an easy question. It was an honest chance for Moore to go on record that he was not all that his conservative critics accuse him of. The results were predictable.

I went to a mike and said (I am paraphrasing our [...]

Swiss Guard

The Swiss authorities have made an arrest. The question is… will the L.A. County DA seek extradition on of Roman Polanski?

He declined to explain why Polanski was never previously arrested in Switzerland, where he has often traveled or stayed. A 1996 interview with Canada’s Menz magazine describes Polanski’s visits to the luxury resort of [...]

All The News That’s Fit To…well, who the hell are we kidding anyway

I found out about this incident ( The report from the Dallas Observer newspaper )from my good friend ‘67 Cougar…not that he’s not a great guy, but why would I hear about this first by clicking on his website on the 26th of September and not from a major news outlet?

Yesterday, the 24th, Hosam Maher [...]

Thank you, President Obama?

Blessedly haven’t been paying enough attention to any lyrics on Pearl Jam’s latest, Backspacer, to pick up any specifics on what they claim were songs joyously written in the wake of last November’s presidential lunacy election. Dirty frankly, right now I don’t care. Pearl Jam finally did what so many of us have asked of [...]

After Multiple Viewings of “Mulholland Drive”…

Bill Clinton has changed his mind on gay marriage. “I think Naomi Watts should be allowed lifetime access to state-sanctioned girl-on-girl action on principle,” President Clinton told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper Friday, Clinton explained that he still believes each state should decide whether to legalize gay marriage, but he [...]

3D Weekend Five: Songs You Can’t Admit You Love

5.  Julie, Do Ya Love Me?/Bobby Sherman: Ah, my first love.  About ten years ago, this song came on the radio…hadn’t heard it since, uh, the 70s…I screamed and started singing along. Scarily, every single word came back to me.  Immediately.

Friday Night Fight

I bet Mitch Gaylord could kick his ass.

“It’s old-school, not old-fashioned. That’s football.”

For the lefty trolls, a reason to hate Penn State.

Fully admitting my blue-and-white bias, for those fans of football who may want to forget about politics for about three hours, tomorrow night’s game between Penn State and Iowa looks like just the stuff for ya. ESPN’s Ivan Maisel provides a great pre-game back-drop.
