Kurt’s novel PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC and the sequel are quite entertaining.

Yeah, but they are getting real good at doing really crappy remakes of good old movies, and even crappier remakes of movies that were crappy in the first place.

I love this line:
"Remember, this is the same Hollywood that is pushing The Handmaid’s Tale, which is Harry Potter oppression fan fic for lonely cat ladies, as a powerful critique of Trump’s America."

LOL.

Sharkey’s Machine was a legit movie.

I know Kurt does not stutter, so that article had some repeats?

We still have Bruce Willis and Tom Selleck. Both conservatives and good actors (except “Hudson Hawk”).

Sometimes “class and talent” just has to stand out alone amongst the muck and mire of Hollyweird.

Can you imagine what their collective heads would do today if you tried to remake Mel Brooks’, History of the World? They’d all have strokes. Maybe that’s a good thing.

If Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson were not powerful enough to get their own stuff created, what else is left?

A pack of metrosexuals like the dorks, Damon, Aflec, Sutherland, etc. Wahlberg has his moments, at least.

CGI rules über alles with the millenials. They want special effects to heighten whatever drug experience they are having.

When you spend your life staring at the screen of an iPhag, what do real people have to do with life?

Loud Mime .... that image has been stuck in my head since the first time I watched that movie. Throw in that accent and that woman could have changed the course of world, if she wanted to.

It pisses me off that Netflix does not have Sharkey's Machine to deliver, or delivery is "unknown"

At least 10 others the wife and I want to see come up as "unknown" delivery when added to the DVD list. Why do the creeps show them during a search if they do not have DVDs to send out?

The late great actor Ron Silver covered this well over a decade ago. Hollywood doesn’t really care about the box office anymore. Now it’s all DVDs* and foreign releases. Those are their only priorities.

* DVDs at that time. Now it would be Netflix and all the rest.

Oh,I’m deplorable, and militantly Normal.

So take your P.C. and your questioning genders.
It doesn’t matter if you mix them in blenders
I don’t buy that swill anyway...

Everybody Sing!

Add a verse if you feel like it!

I can hear Mel Brooks singing it now.
