The entire output of films about WW2, between 1939 and, say, 1965. Hundreds of films. A vaster majority than anti-war films.

Saving Private Ryan, for all its graphic violence, portrays military service as noble sacrifice.

There’s a large space between “war as necessary evil” and “pro-war.”

The Allied phrase for you is “Nazi Collaborator.”

I’ve had that one blocked forever.

I’m embarrassed for you.

You are too, clearly.

After Casino Royale, I hoped the Craig series would mine the largely unfilmed material from MOONRAKER and YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. I think you could even have made an interesting Bond movie out of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. Instead they learned the wrong lesson from CR, and made 4 more origin stories.

Note the difference in this story and how you framed it, in your post.

Skepticism for Zuckerberg, stenography for Trump.

The absolute shame of it.

And you made his lie a headline.

Did you imagine “fascist mouthpiece” was going to be your final form?

Seriously.

And iCal, without AI, has never told me it’s Monday when it’s Sunday.

Every computer/device has had accurate calendars for decades. So no, you’ve literally demonstrated it’s NOT a useful tool. Apple’s iCal will never tell me February has 31 days. If a calculator tells you 2+2=7… you throw it out. A calculator whose results have to be double checked is garbage.

Nope.

Don’t use.

Per this example, humanity has had accurate calendars for centuries. And yet AI fails even this simplest of tasks and your answer is… double check the thing that you can obtain 100 different ways, flawlessly. Why on earth would you bother?

You were anti-war when you were a Marine voting to incinerate civilians and you were anti-war when you voted to let Trump bomb Iran.

Dumb, spineless, and always supporting war.

When people say they’re having a good time after you humiliated them, it’s very obvious you made them very, very mad.

A Nixon voter enabling Trump is a guy who learned nothing in a half a fucking century. Hard to imagine being THAT dim.

If you can’t tell the difference in their approaches to Bibi, you’re not paying attention, and that explains why you’ve leaned nothing since you believed Nixon’s lies back in the day.

You clearly are a clueless dupe.

A Vietnam vet who chose More Nixon.

50 years later and you’re still a stooge for imperialism and mass murder. Wild.

You had the choice between restraining Netanyahu and writing him a blank check.

You chose the path to millions dying from the pretense that you cared about thousands dying. Because your racism trumps everything else.

You literally chose the genocidal maniac to be President. You chose the maximum possible amount of mass murder.

Voting is harm reduction. Even if one accepts your imaginary ideas about Harris, you still chose to cause maximum death.

This is yours. You chose it. You chose the path to this.

Stay with me just another moment: it’s bad when we attack Iran AND it’s ALSO bad when Russia invades Ukraine. Amazing, but true!

Nothing brings me back to the good old days of the Cold War like Classic Soviet Whataboutism. Welcome, comrade!

Yes, America did it. And it was bad when we did it.

Crazy thing, though! It’s ALSO bad when Russia and Iran do it.

I was just typing this when I saw your post: I was glad when he was “cancelled” (far too briefly) because he vanished and I was afraid of what I’d do if I was ever face to face with him again.

Unless I could pick a jury that was made up of actresses who’d met him.

Thank you for saying that.

I have a scale for people I truly hate and it’s “how many lanes of traffic would I swerve through to hit them with my car?”

He’s a six lane champ.

I also know someone he raped. A one man crime wave.

I guess when your dad got away with manslaughter, it must be easy to believe you will also never face consequences.

I’m particularly sorry for any woman who ever met him. Absolute slime.

I hated Jesse Eisenberg’s take on Lex Luthor but I was a little more sympathetic to his choices when I realized it was a Max Landis impression. At least he knows an evil douchebag when he works with one.

He’s one of the worst people I’ve ever met. And I’ve been in show business forty years.

Some days I’m #1, but I try to be humble about it.
