Joe Kennedy III

As a response to Trump's meh speech, up pops Howdy Doody Kennedy with lips so glossed it looks like he blew a dude before he started speaking.
This is out-corned Trump. This moron actually broke into Spanish to pander to his votes. Pathetic.
Also, he looks like an inbred royalty.

Guess who's going to play this shit-sack once he gathers heat?
Yep
Conan O'Brien.
How about another legacy of Kennedy's we rarely speak of?...dying in a plane accident, murdering women, being murdered by Mafia, extra-marital affairs...they are cursed, America! Jesus. Get a grip with this Kennedy thing. I know the Catholics lap this shit up like snow-cones in July but...their lives do NOT end well (Ted, we're looking at you).
The name itself isn't going to do much for society. The last Kennedy who did any good (or anything at all) was killed in Dallas. The rest were trust fund losers. That one dude..JFK Jr. who started a liberal magazine...seriously. Like why couldn't he do anything else in life. Anything at all. Oh right, he was a terrible pilot.

"Black Panther" movie And It's Cultural Inference

There was a recent premiere here in Los Angeles that celebrated a Disney/Marvel movie called "Black Panther."
Can you imagine a White superhero movie called "Michigan Militia" that paints them to be the hero? While it's most likely this isn't the original story of that bigoted Black power fucks up in NorCal, it still conjures up the pageboy hats and massive afros.

Here comes the backlash of their own prejudices for this movie and title. I love what Disney is doing. Cramming this culture down our throats to force change. I imagine Walt did the same thing. But in reverse. All his princesses were peaches and creme doe eyed dolls. Pushing...his Master race agenda. Most likely, Walt would be shitting himself uncontrollably if he knew president Bob Iger was allowing this to happen. He wasn't THAT progressive. I mean, he hated Jews.
Disney is a massively powerful entity that is slowly sucking in competitors. I would say, in terms of studio survival, it is a very smart move. Many creators are getting away from the stingy mouse et al and making things on their own. We aren't at the mercy of any of the big named studios if you can generate your own content and survive. It's difficult simply because they still own the platform. In other words, no one has access to your art. Where there is a will there is a way.
But, the main thing is that the tides are turning where "Black" movies are funded readily now. Which is awkward now, but we'll most likely start to see more and more. I think it may be where Blacks get more awareness as well to themselves that aren't portrayed as stereotypes. It's 2018 and I'm sure many may feel done being the victim. I sincerely doubt Disney would allow "Black Panther" to suggest anarchy as the original Oakland Black Panthers did. Maybe this is to re-appropriate a stereotype that infiltrates for the good rather than the destructive. Maybe the bad guys don't have to be White or off-White. Or maybe they're just hoping they entertain (I doubt they're that altruistic).

Stormy Daniels

I had a massive thing for Stormy a ways back. With most porn actresses they come and go (get it?). But seriously, she seemed very sturdy and for a mini-Asian dude like me, a lot to disappear in. She also seemed like White trash, so she was obviously dirty. Even looking at her, you get a boner. Not sure why. I think because she is a great lookin' gal.
Any way, people are trying to link her with the Don (Trump).
If I were Trump, here's my stance.
"Yeah, I banged her. What else is a woman like that good for? Then I paid her. Does that not fulfill women's liberation? Think about it, 'Merica...this sex worker has one function in life. That is to drain men of their seed. The stress goes away, and we all win! Most of you want marijuana to be legal, nuh-uh...Women like Stormy make our lives a much better place."

Now the feminists can't shit themselves over that statement, because..well, a girl's gotta make a living and the alt-Right can't be all that happy, because it mars the sacred vows of marriage. So people would just be confused. Of course Trump banged her like a cheap drum. She probably smelled like fries and chocolate cake. I can't fault him for that. I'd want a roll with her. All I get are old photos and a few clips from PornHub to remind me...Jimmy Fucking Retard Kimmel put her on his show. For no other reason than to say he could. And she didn't say shit.
Who really got fucked there, ABC?

Why I Left The Left

Democrats are morons. They have zero idea what they want. Republicans are morons. They know exactly what they want. Even if it's money, which I don't care about, but they do. Most people do and won't admit it.

So why do I hate the Left so much. They're the most racist people on the planet. What?! You're crazy said the mass Left. Well, let's see...the majority of them think light brown to Black folk are too incompetent to take care of themselves. Which is why the promotion is for more free stuff and not enough "get off your fucking asses you fuckin helpless fucks." Now I understand the OCCASIONAL help. I love helping people. There isn't an American that I've ever met that would turn their backs on someone sincerely suffering. BUT free shit isn't the cure. I know, I got free shit for a while and learned my lesson fast that...I wasn't learning any fucking lessons.
Believe it or not, I've done a TON of charity work in the past. I've never sloughed off on my duty to humanity. But what it turns out to be is...most Liberals had use this as a way to shirk off guilt of...fill in the blank. Mostly it's because they went to college and got an education. I've got a Masters degree and have zero tolerance for other "college educated" people. Most consider them so smart that they hate Trump. It's never that they are willing to listen. It's that they hate Trump.
There is nothing more debilitating to the mind than the inability to absorb new information which is what the Left use to pride itself on. Heartbreaking when you consider that all they see is their own policies. For instance, the Dreamer Act. It's not that America hates immigrants. It's that they hate illegal immigrants. Whether they pay taxes or not, it's still ILLEGAL. For the Left, the spin is that we hate Mexicans. Which seems to be Trump's stance. To be honest, this is what handouts cause. Free rides cannot and will not be free. It sucks, I know. I hate it. It's hard to motivate yourself to do things when you're struggling to get by. But that's why the message of America is to dream big but work bigger/smarter. It's not to wait for some privileged college educated White person to tell you that you've been taken advantage of.
For the most part and at the ground level, most of the Mexicans I've met in Los Angeles are desperate to work. And it's inspiring, especially when I sit in my underwear too tired to finish my damn screenplay (I'm almost done). But the Democrats are pushing victimization on all my Brown and Black brothers in order to enslave them differently. My age group is too hopeful and warm hearted to realize that because the obvious answer is to just pacify homelessness and hungry with food and shelter. It's not. We're hobbling them.
This is not to say I've gone Right either. In truth, I've developed my own party system of common sense. It took me a while to get here.

State Of The Union

God is this shit corny.
It was corny when previous Presidents did it. Now? It's really saying a whole lot of nothing. What's funny are the guest.
Why are they there? Do they represent the America that's there.
North Korea got a lot of attention. That must feel that tiny regime good.
The rest...I'm not sure what to tell you. It's a whole lot of nothing.
What's the State Of The Union...same as last week. I guess.

Grammy's Hit An All Time Ratings Low

...in demographics between 18-29 year olds.

Millenials ruining shit again.
I'm sure it's more likely that they think they can make better music. Which I'm down with. Anything  BUT using a sample from 70's music and rapping under it. I'll stand by my opinion...rap isn't music. It's talkng fast in a rhythm. Putting a cool melody underneath that makes it someone else's fucking song. So fuck you rappers.
Also, Kanye and other Black folk got upset Taylor Swift won album of the year last year, or something. So this year it went to Bruno Mars. Maybe we can work our way up to Nelly. Or someone so Black they're purple. That's the problem with these shows. It's not fucking B.E.T. 2.0 it's supposedly...a music award. Instead, it feels like we're babysitting children who can't for a minute feel slighted.
Asians never won any of this shit. So you can draw two conclusions with that...1) we suck at music (which is grossly untrue, since we're forced to play piano and violin)...2) music really doesn't control our worlds and if people don't like our shit...move forward. Instead of fucking whining until you're handed something you didn't earn.

Rap isn't music is my point.

Diane Keaton

As Officer Wiggum once lamented "Why are the pretty ones always crazy?" (paraphrase)
This is what Annie Hall tweeted about Woody Allen:
Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him. It might be of interest to take a look at the 60 Minute interview from 1992 and see what you think.

Look lady, the gremlin isn't going to come out and tell you he molested his children. I guess it would also make a difference if the young folk today knew who the fuck these two were. Most likely not.
I had a crush on Diane Keaton after "Baby Boom." Sort of a "she'd make a great mother of my children" feel. Then I realized, it would be weird to stick my dick in a woman that old (when I was only 11 at the time). New Yorkers have always been seen as more progressive. So maybe her definition of molestation is different than everyone else's.
It does take a lot of balls to admit she continues to support the Woodster, considering the newer models are coming out with regret. Perhaps the Lefties from that camp also remember what it was like to be famous with little to no rules they had to follow.

I don't know if Woody Allen molested his children or not. There are plenty of allegations and war of words to allow you to draw your own conclusion, but as I've said in the past...once you put yourself on THEIR playing field, you have to endure THEIR rules of engagement. Personally, if I were Keaton, I'd tell everyone to pound sand. Because if Woody Allen is a sexual offender, so be it. Throw him in jail then...if you can. If not...move on.

Chief Wahoo Is Done For!

Cleveland Indians have elected to take the iconic logo off their uniforms.

The only offensive thing about this logo is that someone wasn't getting paid for it.
America is the only country that caters to the rules set by the conquered. But I get why...we wouldn't want to offend the indigenous people. Which is the politically correct way to be offensive. I think it's also funny by honoring a dying breed out by...um...eradicating any history of it. Because extinction is the better route. You get it yet?
Maybe Major League Baseball gets federal funding somehow.

Truth be told, Chief Wahoo actually looks more like my Grandmother than an Indian. So maybe I can get something out of being offended that they mock my Granny. Since that is America today.
But...we'll always have "Major League."

#TimesUp Movement

I want to kick every fucking celebrities in their fucking cunts. Seriously.
Hey assfucks...we told you times up decades if not centuries ago and now...NOW they're presenting it like they started this movement. Man, are you guys fucking stupid. We knew that you were all sexually assaulting women (and for you homos...men). Trading sex for roles in movies or slapping fat ass bumpin' asses. Duuuuuuh. What is the point? Every rocker pre-1989 and ever rapper since the dawn of time should be in prison. But we told you that shit has to stop. Nope. Instead, what is it we get? Speeches upon speeches of how it's not only in their lives but in our society. NO! You dumb fucking idiots! It's you. You are busted and now continue to cover up gangsta' life by saying it's society. If you're not incensed by these fucking subpar "musicians" telling us time is up...I'm laughing right now, simply because they honestly believe America is taking them seriously. No one takes these dummies seriously. We're already there. We already regulate ourselves. You people can't control yourselves. And it's our fault?
This is why we hate you idiots.
Times up...ha! Fucking dummies.

Mixed Messages of #meToo

About every other article you read is about someone lost a ton of weight and looks amazing. Or women showing off their bodies to get likes. Or talks of plus sized models and why they look good in a bikini. Meanwhile, we're also told about sexual assaulters. This would include the occasional comments from sleazebags that would say complimentary things to women.

You see the mixed messages.
On one hand you have the media pressing for how beautiful women are as they show off their assets (however big) and on the other...you become the aggressor if you admire it.

I understand the position here is that they show off their bodies to have more of a positive self-image. To that I say "to attract....?" Fill in that blank. Women want to feel beautiful but men ogling them and desiring them but don't want to be sexually assault. Or in Aziz Ansari's case, poor lovers who happen to be famous. If women ever wanted men to turn gay...this is where the rubber meets the road.

Look, women want to dress like tramps, act like tramps but if treated like tramps that's when they are up in arms. Bitch, a guy drives a nice car, has a big house and flashes dough to attract you. If he turns up poor living with his mother then you can't expect me to give a fuck what you think. See how THAT works?
Real rape is horrific and terrible and serious. Hollywood an the satellites around seem to wear it like this year's accessories and brand. That's despicable.

Grammys?

I had no idea they were still on t.v.
Did you?
Maybe because I consider it unlistenable music. Apparently Bruno Mars won best album. I didn't even know people made full albums anymore. You gotta wonder, that little shit...what sample he ripped from this time. God I hate hate HATE people who don't make their own music. They take a melody that is recognizable and sing/rap over it. That's not fucking music. You suck balls if you do that.
That's why the Grammys aren't a thing anymore.
People probably watch to see which annoying music personality (yeah, they're not musicians) will wear or say something odd.
See music management/producing fucks, THIS is what happens when you chase the trends.

"Ghostbusters" (2016)

Columbia couldn't sell their souls fast enough.
And I gave every chance I could possibly give to like this so I can tell the true misogynist that they were wrong.
This movie fails at EVERY level. Like...EVERY LEVEL. And, in fact, set women back decades. I even gave them a mulligan by saying the original 1984 version isn't even all that great.

This was a mess and everyone knew it. A few failings and it could've stuck it to the guys, but whatever chance it had to zig it zagged. And I'm absolutely confused as to why at some point, someone didn't just...quit. I mean...stop production. It felt like in the middle of it, they just spent so much they couldn't quit.

What this lacked that they original had was...innocence. And that was to their benefit. Today, we're not only cynical, we have to deal with nostalgia. Let's face it, director Paul Feig was too arrogant and barreled through, determined and convinced he could do this. In fact what he did was kill a franchise AND put him on watch. Idiot. He'll get another chance somewhere. I'm sure Melissa McCarthy will find a place ("Bridesmaids" was an idiotic stupid movie, this movie proves my point).

The other thing about the original that Feig completely fucked up on? He casted four female comedians. WRONG!!
Did he not understand that Bill Murray was the funny one? The rest aren't funny in the least. Dan Akroyd was the straight man, Harold Ramis was a writer and Ernie Hudson... well, you get it. In this mess, EVERYONE is a comedian. OR thinks they can be. Chris Hemsworth is as funny as cancer. I'd rather get cancer than listen to his idiotic dribbling. He's REALLY bad at comedy. Because he thinks he's on Saturday Night Live. Leslie Jones...Jesus Christ, I prayed so hard for her not to do her chicken neck Miss Thang Black lady schtick. She couldn't stop. It was embarassing to a point where you're convinced even SHE was like "that's just too Black."
This was an embarrassment on all levels. But everyone got pad so to Paul Feig, fuck us, right?

Obama And Louis Farrakhan

Louis? Really, not Allah Muhammed Farrakhan...Lou?
Anyway...
Quick, pick out Louie in this photo!:

If you don't know...you're a racist!!
I'm a racist.
I had no idea who the fuck he was other than I heard his name tied with Malcom X, because that's so much better than the slave name of Louis.
Here's what my research turned up on Farrakhan:

Farrakhan said of the Jews: "And don't you forget, when it's God who puts you in the ovens, it's forever!" Farrakhan made antisemitic comments during his May 16–17, 2013 visit to Detroit^.

aaaaand this:

"Now that nation called Israel never has had any peace in 40 years and she will never have any peace because there can be no peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name."

Is he wrong, class?
Jews do own the world bank. So what? If I were a Jew I'd totally be down with that. I use to call my mom a "dirty Jew" because she's super cheap. She laughs and shrugs "So?" In other words, stop asking me for money if you're going to criticize how I get it.

Israel...I drive through a ton of Hassidic Jew areas a lot. I find them to be very pleasant people. They have lovely homes but they still seem so...Amish. Like their products seem so diluted. Soap looks weird, food looks weird. It all looks boiled. Unless it's a deli, it's hard to say "hey honey, let's go to this great Israeli diner I heard about."
But, people are nuts over the Democrats hiding this photo. Even though most of America couldn't tell one Black dude from another.
Obama did also turn tail and tell peeps Farrakhan is full of shit. But you know something, that's what a real friend does though.
 
 
 

Scott Baio

Scott Baio was accused by Nicole Eggert of molesting her as a teen.
Then they started dating. No, seriously stop laughing. Eggert NOW has come out. Not, you know...a few years ago, or maybe even 10 years ago. This is 30 years ago. Some of you reading weren't even born.

Um...all my Hollywood friends are sexual predators. Seriously. They are. They breathe on a woman wrong...or make them wear a bikini? Sexual molester. THIS folks is why we don't listen to women when it IS real.
I'm sure nutty Nicole has her relapsed version of what occurred, but it's more than likely...like why now? I'm now at a point where I just don't care. Celebrities and public figures spent WAY too much time to break that barrier only to realize they weren't in rarified air. Which I DO find funny. They are at the mercy of...um...the public.
If I were ever accused at this point, which...seriously, who'd care...but IF I were...
here's my statement
"I am a man. I like tits and a wet pussy. If she didn't enjoy it, I suck at it, and need more practice. I make no apologies for having these urges because I am a man. I like women. I will march if need be, to remind people being a man is pretty fucking cool. So, in closing, fuck you Joe Public and your jaundiced eyes while I make a shit-ton more than you (if I were a celeb) and I hope everyone who judges me based on a crazy broad dies slowly in a miserable angry life. For me...I'll just enjoy my time not thinking about these sad women and pay for sex now, since we've clearly don't need them middle ground."

And then peace out. I'd go down in history.

At The Arcade

A couple of pals and I went to the grand opening of a throwback video game arcade. Man there were some ridiculous looking goons in there. I had terrible acne a a kid, but wow..I didn't realize in 2018 it was still a thing. Funnier yet, MAYBE they didn't have acne UNTIL they stepped under the neon lights.

BUT, I gotta tell you...it was awesome. The memories flooded back of all the great times my friends and I had wasting away in darkness..NOT gay'ing out. Though I miss that feeling of limited quarters (since it's a pay first and play unlimited place)...it was a nice return to what is most simple.

I vividly remember the arcade near my house. I'd have to trek through a wooded path that went to Montgomery Road that went to the Kenwood Mall. There was an offshoot strip of stores there that had a video rental place and tuxedoes. Crammed in between was the arcade. If you weren't looking for it, you would definitely miss it.

That arcade became obsolete when video games went to homes. Which was tragic but economically sound. My Mom would have a dish of quarters that I'd take to buy Wendy's hamburgers (which was nearby) and hang out playing video games. At a certain point, I think $5 in, you got to feeling like you did waste money you could've gotten baseball cards or comic books. That sinking feeling was rough. But then you also stood around and enviously watched the other kids play. You struck up conversations here and there. The older kids didn't really give you the time of day. And as an Asian kid in Ohio, they must've been extra confused. As there were very few in that area.
It occurred to me that the video game arcade isn't really about playing the games. Yes, they are incredibly amusing, especially the simplest ones (Asteroids). But...I really believe it's about community. Arcades gave people like me a place to go where we can watch people...try to do something. I think it's inherent in us to collectively save the Princess or drive a race car to the finish line, or shoot space aliens and save Earth. In that safe sense, we are together as a community. Shared only the thought that we all want to distraction from our lives.
Typical of the latch-key child I was, it was a great moment to just meet new people and learn things as well. Many times you learn other kids play musical instruments. This is how bands are started. Or that they have a collection of some kind. That's how we completed our own...by trading. This is all lost in today's youth that don't have a community other than online. In the spatial internet, there isn't the comraderie of personal interaction. Being online means things are constantly mis-read.
Any way, I loved being at the arcade again. I geeked out on the two machines I loved as a kid "Bad Dudes" and "Funhouse" pinball. Can you believe it? Out of the three pinball machines they had there..."Funhouse" was one of them, it was meant to be.

The White Guy As Thug

So...
I went to go see an "urban movie" and I noticed on their trailers there were a bunch films that are now depicting Black people as victims of home invasion from White folk.
Really?

In the past 30 years...have we heard of this?

If you noticed the home invaders in those home security commercials...none are Hispanic or Black. They're White. Again...really?

What is happening with our society today where media has to perverse truth into...something else just to prove a point. Perhaps you could say that it does happen. Or that it is a metaphor for police being the "home invaders." In "Get Out" the tables were turned when the Black characters were actually the victims. Uh huh. It didn't matter much in that movie since it was all about the social justice warriors who are essentially phonies. My sentiments exactly.

IF this changes how Blacks perceive themselves in the future, perhaps there's hope. Meaning, that people will feel their lives are worth protecting. Or work towards something worth protecting. As it was in the past, a lot had very little hope.

David Copperfield's Sexual Assaulter

As if having Claudia Schiffer shitting on you chest wasn't sexy enough.
Copperfield has been accused of giving some 17 year old The Ol' Cosby.
Drugging her and sexually molesting her or raping. I don't know the details, other than I want to crack wise on having a German wife who is essentially a depraved S.S. Nazi guard.
I honest to God thought Copperfield was a fag. We use to make jokes about it because he was so flamboyant. But I guess that smooth easy going soft chocolate-y eyes disarm many a lady...or the roofie did.
How could this go any other way. The guy knew magic. Chicks LOVE magic. Because their brains are soft.
And it always surprises me, cause the guy didn't have to do that to get snizz. They threw themselves at him (according to the specials I watched).
Actually, this accusations of celebrities is getting lame. They're mostly all molesters. This one just so happen to be able to pull a rabbit out of his pants.

The Clones Are Upon Us

It's funny how scientist are super excited when they clone things. Today, they broke a genetic code by cloning a monkey. They aren't too far from us. So now what?
Personally, I wouldn't want a clone of myself or anyone I know. I'd want a clone of say...a Playboy model, but special ordered so they are enamored with me constantly, unless I don't want them to be. I think the original will get annoying. Or they stop giving blowjobs. Or something. It's always something. Maybe blowjobs won't be as special because of this. I can clone a slew of women I had crushed on to flog my junk. But...yeah...where was the challenge then?

The other question would be...do clones have the same rights? It's entirely possible they would out-value your old-ass existence.

I think scientists are moving too fast for humans to keep up. Maybe we should break their legs.

"Den Of Thieves" (2018)

Part “The Usual Suspects” “Heat” and “Training Day” well…any caper dirty cop movie, it’s actually nice to see Los Angeles be the city in which people randomly kill other people.

But for the love of God, don’t look too deeply into this movie or you’ll just hate it. I say give yourself the freedom to just watch something that isn’t politically heavy handed about fish-fucking or sad sack townies nagging on a billboard.

This is about man against man. The “den” being a wolf den of maniacs and monsters. The real problem is…I wanted a cop who was worse than the criminals. Then it becomes some other kind of movie. In other words…it has no idea what it is. BUT, that is the new template of a Gerard Butler flick. I mean, did it matter how silly “Olympus Has Fallen” was? Nope. You had fun. Then later, as you picked apart the logic, you told yourself it’s not worth watching again. Though, you DID have fun the first time.

Also, the supporting cast are fun. They literally stop the movie to show that 50 Cent’s home life is normal…normal-ish. He’s a family man. And it awesome to see writer director Christian Gudegast rip off “Bad Boys II.”

Anyway, this is like watching too rams pummel each other for a bit. The penis swinging contest isn’t actually the centerpiece of the movie. It’s an afternoon slow day that you can enjoy something like this. In fact, get really drunk and enjoy the movie. It’s really that type of flick.

Idris Elba Pitching For Bond

Should a Black guy play secret agent 007?
Fuck no.
It's not a racist thing, unless you really consider the world racist. Because any work this soul bro does in China...it's pretty obvious who the agent is.
Why don't people think the same when a smooth White guy does this? Because White guys don't fucking know boundaries. They travel wherever they want representing the crown and no one says shit. You see a Black guy play Bond EVERYONE questions him. Though Elba is hella' smooth, so was Billy Dee Williams. And that fool would be picked out in Harlem.
I think the franchise itself is pretty worn though. Maybe they do need some other Bond. Maybe a Muslim one, or Asian one or...yeah, you see how silly it gets.
A lot of the Bond thing does as come from Ian Fleming's stories, so it's strange to speak of the Blacks when he was so clear on some things. You're essentially re-writing Bond's history as well, which would make you have to tell a different story anyway.
Either way, watch it or don't or whatever. I don't think it's going to happen, unless "Black Panther" does gangbusters at box office And then...maybe.
Never underestimate the shill nature of the movie business. It is insulting that people think they should cater to Black community by swapping Black characters from White. It's actually pretty racist, but seems I'm the only one saying it. Because I've overheard Black folk say out loud they don't watch movies with White people problems in them. Hollywood pretends like it doesn't exist by swinging pendulum to absurdity.

Brandon Griesemer CNN Troller

Guy from Michigan threatens CNN:
"You are going down. I have a gun and I am coming to Georgia right now to go to the CNN headquarters to f----ing gun every single last one of you," the caller said on one of the occasions, according to the affidavit. "I have a team of people. It's going to be great, man. ... You gotta get prepared for this one, buddy."
"Fake news! I'm coming to gun you all down,” the caller said in another instance.
The caller also made derogatory comments toward Jewish people and referred to CNN employees by the n-word, according to the affidavit.
Federal investigators said they traced the calls to a mobile phone belonging to Griesemer.

CNN is on at the gym I'm at the headlines are far different than Fox News...obviously. And every time I see a headline...it's as corny as Fox.

This dude cracks me up. Because he made many calls before he was actually taken seriously. Hey dumb-dumbs, he wasn't a threat. When was the last time a gunman called up the people he wanted to murder. Possibly a family member or friend but to a news station? Oh right, they probably do but no one takes this fool seriously except CNN.
Jesus Christ you guys are colossal pussies. Arresting him for being a piece of shit...fine. But to think he was serious? He wanted attention. Sad, but true. He's a right wing nut who wanted attention and scare Leftist. He accomplished that. Don't pretend he was serious. It's just news you can use.

Let's be honest, Greta Gerwig in that director category? Oscar desperately attempting to fix something with a sledgehammer.
"Three Billboards.." and "Shape of Water..."
Man...what a joke. Watch Deakins finally win an Oscar for a movie he basically phoned in.
My biggest gripe is the documentary feature. I'm livid because my buddy Jason Wise wasn't nominated for his feature "Wait For Your Laugh" This was an oppotunity to celebrate a woman who worked since she was 4 years old and died just last month. These fuckfaces gave the Oscar documentary to "The Kid Stays in The Picture" about the scumbag Robert Evans. Let's think about this for a second. A guy who wrote a book about himself and they made a documentary about it? Seriously.
Fuck Hollywood politics. Fucking shitheels rewarding the dumbest things.

Democrats Didn't Give Up

This is why the Left needs to put distance between themselves and illegal immigration activist. The shut down of the government has ended but the DACA program was shelved for consideration (they have until March). Let me repeat the "illegal" part because fucking people can't fucking hear.
Instead, the stalemate was dissolved with the CHIP program in place. This is a win. It means low-income families with kids have health insurance.
This is what is known as a win.
Unfortunately, the Left aren't just good with that...they want everything. THAT is the problem with that party. It doesn't know when things are good for the community, only when things are good for them. That is ugly, disgusting and pitiful and people who side with them need to take a really hard look at themselves as to what morals are.
Let me break it down again:
Illegal immigrants staying in America
Health care relief for children
Which would you choose?

The Future For Equality

Oh Cher:

“You know, I’ve been alive for 13 presidents, and I’ve never seen anyone like the president that we have — I can’t even call him the president — that has been willing to destroy our country for money and power,” began the 71-year-old superstar. “I’ve never seen it. Never believed that it could happen.”

She continued, “In 1776, the Union was formed. In 1920 we got the vote. What I’m going to tell you now is, it’s time to step up to the plate and own it. It’s time for women to own it, you know? If you don’t take it, no one’s going to give it to you.”

Sorry, Cher...someone who has as much surgery as you've had to make her hate herself less...well, are you really the voice of reason? Most likely, the silicone in your tits is poisoning your brain. Move if you don't like America now.

In a shade over five years, when women nag us to no end and men become bitches...women are going to look back on this day and really regret it.
Here's the rub...women will face reality. Reality in equality means you will be supporting your family. Most men will start to adjust for this and pretty soon, you will be angry, resentful and...well...like men.
That means dragging your fat ass out of bed, and getting shit on daily at work. I know many women who are staying silent simply because they don't want any part of this rat race. It's ugly, shitty and shreds your inner soul. But, hey! Men are designed for it. Women will go nuts. I mean, we're going to see more workplace violence because men will start to slack. Seriously, why bother?
On top of that? You still have to pop out kids. Because that part calls out to you.
People like my sister can handle that. Though, a lot of this has made her head a little soft. It's by the grace of genetics that the one boy isn't a complete criminal.
This is equality. I'm sure, in a woman's mind, it's something about hating on Trump or something. That's a LOT more fair than pretending you care about other women. It's bullshit. Ambitious women are ruining a bit of freedom for the ones who have none. This is most likely the sisterhood that will turn on you.
Their own undoing is demanding to be treated equal. Equality sucks, man. It's seriously no fun. I keep telling people this until they believe me.

"Purple Rain" revisited (sort of)

Believe it or not, this is the first time I ever watched “Purple Rain” in its entirety. I saw bits and pieces, and just seeing a tiny dude acting like a badass makes me laugh. It works for some people like Sean Penn but for Prince…it is funny.

The story is of a young talented musician who rocks a local hip club.

We find out the guy just known as The Kid has a horrible domestic life where his father, a failed musician beats on his mother. But the story isn’t about that. It’s about The Kid’s rise to fame despite that. He also takes on a protégé, which we’ll come to see as Prince’s modus operandi. In this case, it’s Appollonia played by…Appollonia. This is not so dissimilar to Honk Kong movies where the actor essentially play themselves.

To be honest, I never considered Prince to be on par with my guitar gods. Even though he out-flamboyants the likes of Jimi Hendrix, he still seemed so effeminate. Even as he’s yelling angst ridden dialogue. Let’s be clear, the dialogue awful. To today’s standards, it doesn’t pass. OR maybe it’s the performances. It’s hard to gauge, since no one, aside from Clarence Williams III is actually a trained actor.

What this movie has is Prince’s charisma. Which he flaunts and peacocks to which Mick Jagger himself would envy.

The music does take you back to those Ronald Reagan times. Carefree as a child.

For a movie about the birth of a artist that would go on to be an icon (he was pretty famous even in those days), it’s actually pretty good. No corniness of “Cool as Ice” and on par with “8 Mile”

I would also say, had I seen Appollonia  back then and wasn't so damn against seeing Prince queer out, I would've seen this:

Eagles v. Patriots in Super Bowl 52

Whoopee Doo...
It's funny that Eagles play Patriots. As funny as Redskins against Cowboys, I guess.
Does anyone see Philly taking this one?
I really hope they win, because it would scratch another name off teams that have never wona Super Bowl. It'll come down to Browns and Bengals left. Too bad Vikings couldn't scratch their name off. I think they suffered as long as we have.
Does anyone want to see rich White man Tom Brady win another ring? Ugh. Him and Trump. The face of the bew Reich.
Just kidding folks.
It is pretty amazing that Tom Brady is constantly pulling magic tricks out of his rear. Even with Rob Gronkowski knocked out of game, somehow...Brady is clutch. Could he really be considered the best of all time?
Very very possible. The debate will still be whether or not the NFL doesn't play favorites with them. Afterall...most want to see Pats fail. We need a bad guy team.

Humanity

I give auminum cans to the a Mexican woman who visits every month.
I ran into my neighbor "I wish you wouldn't do that."
Fuck him.
Than I reaize the word is making me see the future. And that is...
..a bitter miserable loser who dies alone and has his shit thrown in a dumpster.
It is the ghost of Christmas future teing me DO NOT BE LIKE THIS LOSER.
His teeth are gruesomely yellow and desperatley selling books to sustain his life. Meanwhile he has no sympathy for a woman who is just trying to make a living. Does this make any sense?

I pity the man who ives upstairs. Still believes because he is White he gets a pass. That he understands how this word works. Which is something I'm trying to shake. I have no idea how the world works. He wants the world the way it was before. He will die alone and have his stuff thrown in a dumpster. When they cut him open, they won't see a heart. I don't want to go out like that.

The Women's March, One Year Later

I have a Mom and two sisters, and I am here to say...they are never happy about anything, ever. Thanks Chris Rock for pointing that out. Though he gets a pass from the broad, because he's Black.

It's been a year later and they're marching again. Great, good to see them out of the house. You know, cro-magnons, like me, who consider women's rights funny, are starting to disappear. Most consider this a good thing because it means women can...bitch more.

Trust me when I say...women don't want other women in charge. Because they are not going to look out for you, and you'll be more paranoid than ever. Women are their worse enemies.
The march meant very little. Other than you hate Trump. We understand that. I hate Oprah. She's a woman in power and oppresses men. Do you see me holding up signs?
I laugh because, let's be honest, rich and powerful men get women all the time. Ugly, fat rich and powerful. Guess what? Did THOSE women betray the sisterhood? Or is this the sign you see as unfair? Now you're hating on short unattractive guys, so you DO see appearances as a factor?
Am I twisting shit around so you're tongue tied? That's what it's like to deal with women.

The Government Shut Downs

Sounds ominous, eh?
It happened in 2013 as well. Mostly for some dickheads to leverage others to bend a little. Find a compromise. This s where Trump really gets tested. Because although he IS a loser, he doesn't like to lose.
It's actually pretty well shown in "All The Money In The World." John Paul Getty, the richest man ever, and in the history of the world would not spare couch change to free his grandson. It wasn't until he found a way to win the deal is when it went through. And it was a shitty thing to stand back and watch why someone would put that over human life.
That's what the Democrats are attempting to do. But they are making their party consider whether or not illegal (yes let me repeat, ILLEGAL immigrants) is worth missing a few paychecks for our military. Both sides have a valid point, except...I'm not sure the military sees it like that.
If I were Trump...I'd put my own money where my mouth is...pay the soldiers who do not get paid out of pocket or some fund we KNOW you have. Or maybe his daughter sets up free stuff for the military until this blows over. Can you imagine the PR he'd get. "Trump cares more the military than Democrats combined." But he doesn't think like that. He would consider it a loss. Most wealthy beyond mortals love the deal. Love to sweat out their opponents. In this case, both sides are willing to gamble lives and that is WRONG.

It's hardball tactics I think is going to hurt the Left in the end. But it is funny imagining Trump with a party fez on his way to Mar-lago to celebrate his inauguration only to be turned back and can't go. That must be a tiny victory to the Dems. Petty, yes, but I'm sure this was probably all it was.

U. Of Alabama Tuscaloosa: Harley Barber

Do you really expect anyone named Harley Barber to be anything less than a biker whore?
Weeellll...the Dixie flag flies for thee.

At 19, Harley posted a video about how she could care less about Martin Luther King and went into a tirade about how she hates n-words. You know...a Chris Rock bit. If I were her, I'd backpedal and say "Yes, I do hate niggers, but LOVE LOVE LOVE Black folk."
I'm also thankful that Americans don't read, because I'm more than likely fucked if any of my ramblings reaches anyone who wants to blow shit out of proportion (American busybodies).

Here's a statement from her video:"I don't care if it's Martin Luther King Day..." and noting saying the n-word would fall on deaf ears because "I'm in the South now." She's from New Jersey folks.

I suppose this may be what people say when they say Trump has empowered White folk to show their racism. I think it's perception of the South as well. They aren't racist to your fucking face. Apparently New Jersey folk are. In fact, I've visited the south a lot and they are nice folk (mostly because they know you're just passing through).
I would also say, she doesn't represent America. As much as people want to say this is a case for racism still thriving. The school booted her. So her future in porn is secure. The other thing...college people...throwing her off campus for expressing herself...um...you didn't have to do that. I guess because the world is watching? The institution of higher learning is fucking stupid as shit. I think to hide behind keeping "...students to a higher standard" is laughable. You hold them to not express anything but what you believe. It's dumb what she did, but she still was just venting. So now she's a pariah to....? What I would say "We dismissed her from campus because her safety and the focus of our students from distraction is our utmost priority." We already know she doesn't have the standards of U.O.A.T.

Michelle Obama Turned 54 And You Need To See Her In Bikini

...I think the media desperately wants you to think that Michelle is some spank bank material because it's slowly being run by women. Sorry, ladies, you can't fuck with biology. No matter how many middle aged women with two kids you throw at us.

She looks perfectly adequate for a woman her age. That's it. Incidentally, why is this suddenly something the media wants to press as amazing, when they couldn't stomach Melania Trump's bikini pics? Is this double standard. Or...oh wait, it's women hating other women.
The truth is, women salivate over these subpar images of Michelle, because they consider them...attainable. You aren't going to be a Russian mail order bride with great cheekbones and nice tits. So, constantly telling Michelle she has a banging body is equivalent to telling the dateless chick in school she can have any guy she wants. It's phony. And they know it. And it doesn't push your agenda. Only makes dudes take pot shots at her.

Again, she looks great for her age, but it's not like we need to splash her figure all over the news, especially when they're no longer in the White House.

Alec Baldwin Gets Shit Over Woody Allen

Alec Baldwin has called the public "renunciation" of Woody Allen and his work "sad" and "unfair," even as several actors have publicly distanced themselves from the director in recent days amid the resurfacing of sexual abuse allegations against him.
"Woody Allen was investigated forensically by two states (NY and CT) and no charges were filed. The renunciation of him and his work, no doubt, has some purpose," Baldwin, 59, wrote in the first of two tweets today. "But it’s unfair and sad to me. I worked w WA 3 times and it was one of the privileges of my career."

What he's saying is he was cleared of any wrongdoing but people still have it in their minds what he really did. Which was leave Mia Farrow and marry her adopted daughter. Oy vey!
This is because, for the past few months, actors have come out to shit all over the Wood-man. Because he is a pedophile, or presumed one. Who knows when that relationship started. Personally, who cares. Apparently, Soon-yi is the ball-buster of the two. And remarkable they are still together. Still, it's gross.

Public flogging is now in full effect. We are believing crazy people more and more because...it's more fun. We believe the worse in people because...it's entertaining. We're suspicious of every motive, because...we could get killed. And all Woody had to do was to shut his trap about the women's movement. It doesn't matter for me, because I'm not really a public figure, so I can shit on women's movement all day...oh wait, that didn't sound right. But Woody...Woodster..really?

Alec doesn't realize the shit-storm is about to hit him. Or he does, and he doesn't care. He does have a shitload of kids to feed soon. That Irish nutjob loves to push it to the limit.
Incidentally, why hasn't this fool jumped ship with the people who've lambasted his buddy Woody there? This is how dumb some Leftist can be I guess. Dyed in the wool Democrat that is willing to throw punches with people don't who share their viewpoint and constantly haranguing his own party lines. Should we see this as noble or colossally stupid? Baldwin's no idiot. Thanks for the entertainment.

Empowerment of Racism

A lot of people have said when Trump was elected, it empowered racist to say racist shit. Isn't that like saying when Obama was elected, people started speaking jive?
Oh wait, that was racist. Because most people backtrack by saying "Obama is such a great speaker." Yeah, dumbfucks, he's a scumbag lawyer, he's suppose to convince you of his point. Trump is a dumb onion sitting on a glass throne in some New York City high rise waiting to get you out of the room.
It's really sickening when people use this opportunity to say that Trump empowered White supremacy. That's not what did it. It's when Hillary and the Left decide everyone should listen to them because they got themselves one o' dem advance degrees of skoolin'. Book smart people actually are incredibly common sense dumb. The verdict, we ALL have to function with each other. The book learn have to understand you need the people who didn't get a degree. And that's where the Left fail. They talk down to the rest of America, which happens to put less focus on formal education. They lord their pedigree. But you can't pull that shit with America. Fuck, Hillary Clinton couldn't even come to the mass unwashed and pitch her game. It was too...beneath her. Meanwhile, Trump would kiss a Black baby's ass if it meant winning in that county. He was willing to do whatever it took.
If you think about the people who keep your plumping going, roofers or construction guys, they aren't book smart in the least, but you rely on them when shit doesn't work. When you tell someone like that that they are racist for voting for Trump. Maybe shit doesn't work so well anymore in your Manhattan high rise.

The residual effect of Obama being President of the United States was that he made every person who felt marginalized the power to point their finger and call them a racist. Eventually, they stopped having to defend themselves based on the color of their own skin, and voted for Trump to make it intolerable. We have to realize, most of America isn't extreme one way or another. The minute we figure that out, the minute we longer get Obamas or Trumps.

Africa (the continent) and Haiti: The Shitholes

Are the Left denying that these places are shitholes?
"Oh...but what about South Africa?!"... you mean that ultra-modern world colonized by the Dutch?

Kinda a double-edged sword the Orange One put the Left in. Because if they deny it, they're idiots. If they confirm it, they're no better than him. I'm laughing as I type this because EVERY single fucking story people write to prove countries where these people come from aren't shitholes which begins with how they pieced together a boat from scraps of wood plugging it with swatches of their clothing to leave their glorious Utopia of a country to make it to the U.S. In other words, they were fleeing shitholes. Do you fucking idiots not get these stories DO NOT help. All the confirm is that they are leaving shitholes.What Trump is implying is that people from shithole countries come to America and make it a bigger shithole. Which, if you live in parts of the San Fernando Valley...he's right. The Valley use to be where older conservative celebrities lived. And pockets of warehouses where special FX work was done. Instead, now it's Tiajuana. I've been to Tiajuana, it is a scary fucking shithole. Anyone who denies it is dumber than shit. And it hasn't gotten any better. Because their government blows fucking chunks. Meanwhile our stock market is killing.
Some may ask, when my folks came to this country were they fleeing a shithole? The answer...no. My folks came from a country where they didn't believe they had better opportunities. In other words, going to America meant edging a living standard slightly above what my relatives live in today. Well manicured lawns and five bedroom house. They achieved all that and managed NOT to push around a tofu cart through the streets of Cincinnati. Meanwhile, in fucking Mexifornia, unlicensed people are openly selling hot dogs and ice cream. The ice cream truck arrogantly blasting broken chimed music around...8 fucking P.M.
Does this make me racist towards a certain group of people?
No. It gives me perspective that there is a living standard above having garbage thrown everywhere. Most LEGAL immigrants should strive NOT to bring the shithole with them. But that rarely happens now.
That is the real problem.

Mexican Deported After 30 Years In The U.S.

From USA TODAY:

DETROIT — His arms wrapped around his wife and two teenage children, Jorge Garcia's eyes welled up Monday as he looked into their eyes near the entrance to the airport security gate. 

His wife, Cindy Garcia, cried out while his daughter, Soleil, 15, sobbed into Garcia's shoulder as they hugged, with two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents keeping a close eye on them.

After 30 years of living in the United States, Jorge Garcia, a 39-year-old landscaper from Lincoln Park, Mich., was deported on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to Mexico, a move his supporters say is another example of immigrants being unfairly targeted under the Trump administration.

An undocumented family member brought Jorge Garcia to the U.S. when he was 10 years old. Today he has a wife and two children, all of whom are U.S. citizens.

San Francisco has their shit all fucked up. As does Detroit.

Instead of deporting and hanging onto that shitstain that killed Katie Steinle on the pier in San Fran, they deport a guy who paid his taxes and raise a family. Now the bureaucratic bullshit begins for Jorge who has no clue that the wheels of law run molasses slow. Enough that you want to blow your brains out. Seriously, when the United States doesn't profit from you, they move at glacial pace. Meanwhile, these fucking idiots in San Fran, to stick it to Trump, were more than happy to fast track the filthy miserable 4 times deported Mexican to freedom...to murder.

A case by case basis is also based in common sense. And I realize we can't pick or choose our laws we want to follow. But it seems different cities seem to pick the least opportune time to do so. Why not a warning? Maybe there were. But the guy was too busy..working and paying his taxes to the same people who are booting him from the country. Can you imagine how pissed Jorge should be? Paying money to the same people who want him out? The guy had been here since age 10. Who the fuck does he know in Mexico at this point?

Maybe this is a fluff story meant to build up tolerance for illegal immigrants. But sometimes...it's heartbreaking.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I didn't get the day off, so fuck you, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I kid...I kid.
The guy was all about peaceful protest. That, by holding your breath as a child and making racist Whites see they've hurt you, change happens. This is also the teaching of Ghandi. Non-violent civil disobedience.

According to all the guilt-ridden ugly movies about the 1960's, it was so gruesome with race fights we couldn't go outside without something bad happening. I think about this now. Especially me dodging fucking transexuals and cross-dressing freaks. Imagine if they actually had a purpose to attack me. I went to the corner 7-11 and a homeless nutjob Black guy was sitting on the ramp drinking a can of Tecate celebrating MLK, Jr. Day. The people of Van Nuys, California set off fireworks to celebrate...seriously. To celebrate a guy who was shot to death...with gunpowder and shit. Van Nuys have really stupid fucking people (present company excluded).

I hope you guys were able to relax today. If you're Black, maybe a time to reflect on a man who did so much to bring civil rights to the forefront of change. If you're White, maybe don't feel so guilt ridden and have a slice of cake. Me, as an Asian...I couldn't give a fuck either way. His speech probably included me, but no one in this society gives a 40 year old man any pass regardless of inspiring words.

Dolores O'Riordan

Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan died mysteriously at the age of 46. Okay, here's what's gonna really make news...it was from painkillers and the rest of us will have to listen to the lecture, because someone important died of addiction.
Not to smear the dead, because this really isn't about her, but women and painkillers.
There have been a few women I've met who have complained of mysterious pain. Joint stuff. Which...it's most likely true, but a lot has to do with withdrawal. That shit will keep you buried in never ending pill popping. Which leads to depression, which leads to a toxic mix...eventually.

I imagine if you're a superstar musician, very few people speak up about it. I had little clue Chris Cornell was even in some spiral of addiction. That one slip also killed director Tony Scott. I really believe...be careful about what you wish for. I know there is a lot of us who live to create things from our minds. I sometimes think depression (which leads to addiction) is as a result of lack of contentment. As I sit in my 700 square foot apartment, I'm actually okay with being in my space (much more than I require) and make up my stories to film. I think when you get to level of success it seems most people wonder if there is any other purpose in life. There is...but that's different for everyone. I think most of us striving for the next thing should be glad we don't suffer greatly from a plateau and always have that which we can turn to when things are rough. It's not to say that is what her issue was, but it's been said she suffered from mental illness as well. I just don't want to be the receiving end of the lecture as to why drugs are bad.

Real True Lies

In 1994 I was 19 and saw the movie "True Lies" and was blown away by...everything. There was a teenage girl in that movie by the name of Eliza Dushku. Honestly, she seemed plain to me.
Years later...not so much. She gussied up into a REAL hot woman.
Years ago, Dushku finally came out and told her agent and a few people that she was raped by stunt coordinator Joel Kramer. It's most likely this man will be vilified and destroyed within the business. And that's great. I have no doubt she isn't speaking the truth.

As a stunt coordinator, I also have no doubts this man must've threatened her life. Since accidents occur on set. At 12 years of age, you know this man can hurt people and is pain resilient. It's heartbreaking because you also know James Cameron, with his reputation must've come off as someone who doesn't like boats being rocked (unless it was the Titanic).

It says a lot about her to have continued in the movie industry. I'm not sure what you can describe it as, but the adrenaline of fame? Or the constant need of approval? I'm not sure. Personally, after this encounter, you'd think she'd find a better way to function. Which is where I think we get these broken people from. They're not shattered when they arrive, they are made this way

Joel Kramer's response to the allegations:
"Early this morning Eliza Dushku made a accusation against me on her Facebook page.  This statement by Ms. Dushku has devastated my family and me.  These accusations are entirely untrue.  While filming 'True Lies' I treated Ms. Dushku with respect and was protective of her safety and welfare as is appropriate to my position as a stunt coordinator. A film crew is like a family, and Eliza was always treated and protected as a member of the family. I never behaved in any way inappropriately with her. I was never in a position where I was alone with her and even while working with her on set her female stunt double was always there to help her into her harness, offer support and ensure her well being. While it is true that Ms. Dushku did come swimming with several of the stunt crew at our hotel and afterwards had sushi with us, again we were not alone and I did not “Lure her to my hotel room.” We as a “family” were including Ms. Dushku in our group to make her feel welcome and included. These allegations are a well-crafted fabrication by Ms. Dushku. I do not understand what motivated Ms. Dushku to make this statement and I hope that she can find it in her conscious to correct this injustice and return my good name to me. I understand the culture in Hollywood has been historically unfair to women and I applaud and support women who are standing up and pointing out these injustices. It is unfortunate, however that this new culture allows a person to destroy the life and livelihood of a person with false accusations. This false accusation has subjected my family and me to death treats and will devastate my livelihood even when proven to be false. In truth, innocence in fact is not enough to clear a person’s name in the minds on the world. This action can also only undermine the suffering of women who have had to deal with unjust treatment."

"The Commuter" (2018)

The story is of Michael MacCauley (Liam Neeson) a failed insurance salesman who use to be a cop gets an offer by a mysterious woman on a train Joanna (Vera Fermiga) to identify a person on a train and he'd get paid handsomely if he locates the person who "doesn't fit in."
As a former cop, this organization assumes he could pick this person out. And therein lies the ridiculous high concept movie

Whilst a strong start with setting up the story, it slowly turns into a half-baked logical flaw after logical flaw, and will leave you just flabbergasted as to how this went into production.
While Liam Neeson gives his all, this movie felt like that time you went to rent something at Blockbuster based on name alone and it became something else at the end. It's a massive let down with a feeling that director Jaume Collett-Serra was phoning this in. A lot is compared to "Non-Stop." Both mass transit, both identifying someone in a confined space (very Hitchcockian). But what elevated that movie versus this one is that there was no way off a plane. In this subway version, it didn't seem to matter much...what the risks were. And at a certain point, and it's never built up...the game is no longer even interesting...to identify the person. It's also a very frustrating movie since it adds unnecessary exposition or false direction to throw you off. People look at him funny, or he does crazy things to identify the person but isn't thrown off the subway for being just acting weird. They address it, but only to keep the plot moving.
The ultimate reveal isn't even that...exciting. Neither is the ending, which swells in music tones but seems tired at this point.
"The Commuter" runs out of track too early (get it?). It was a cool idea but it seems the concept far outweighed the potential. You just feel there was a better movie here at some point.

Ironic Cinema v. Cult Cinema

I guess there's a delineation between 'ironic cinema' and 'cult cinema.' I prefer the latter.
What I hate most about ironic cinema is not being able to learn much from them. I would consider "Rocky Horror Picture Show" a cult. "The Room" by Tommy Wiseau...is 'ironic cinema.' Should you celebrate terrible art? Well, that's the title of something labeled that. One whose ambition extends past any skill. It should be known, there is also another movie about to be release by Tommy Wiseau. The ironic director in question.
I like he has this unfettered passion to make movies. Though, if book writer Greg Sestero's opinion should be believed, he cared more about fame than craft. He "acts" like a filmmaker, and doesn't necessarily like filmmaking. Which has its own value, from the person himself. I doubt it holds any water for real filmmakers. At least, I hope not.
Tommy Wiseau's new flick will also get distribution on name alone. Forget if it's any good. This is mixed messages to anyone who wants to follow the studio template. Of course, this is also the exception and not the rule.
What's aggravating?
I despise the cult this has created. And most people would probably accuse me of jealousy. Nothing could be further from that. I pity him. In fact...the moment James Franco sandbagged him at the Golden Globes is exactly the crowd that hoists him on their shoulders. Interactive cinema belongs to failed performers who have no stage. Precisely why it soars in Hollywood. There is nothing you can dissect from the project other than...to mock it. I don't go to the Getty Art Center and start drawing mustaches on Monets. This is the equivalent. It is a re-defining of cinema that was ALREADY made to suit your story (essentially, you can do it with any film).
The very worse part is when the industry people solicit me to see this film in the theater with other people who live in irony. This gives me cold-stare-itis. It's actually insulting. As I'm sure they feel insulted at my next response..."how are you the educated elite...and still watch self-flagellation?"
I can enjoy cult cinema alone watching it at home. It's sad that you can't view "The Room" without another participant giving you reassurance what you are witnessing is art.
