That review makes no sense. Like, how do you watch that performance and not come away thinking that Gena Rowlands is the GOAT?

If the headline of your article takes the form of a question, then 99% of the time the answer is "no."

To quote Christopher Moltisanti, "Hey Marty! Kundun! I liked it!"

This is still a less offensive depiction of Mexicans than Emilia Pérez.

As effective as they are, these ads leaves a sour taste in my mouth when I think about the double standard that Kamala was subjected to for her positive vibes and use of "joy" in her campaign. If Mamdani was a woman, people would write about how cringe they were.

There have been more government shutdowns since Gingrich in '95 than there were in all of U.S. history up to that point.

I love Stacy Keach! He is so good in Fat City. Not to mention his amazing performance in Gotti when he names the five boroughs of New York for John Travolta!

The only good thing about the Landis segment of Twilight Zone is when Vic Morrow swims away from the US army in Vietnam and one of them goes "I told you we shouldn't have shot Niedermeyer!"

Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

My friend Tucker's wife was arrested by ICE last week. He and his lawyer are working very hard to get her out of custody. Please share this story far and wide - the human cost of ICE's crackdown is immeasurable.

I am really excited to see this one. I read Joshua Logan's autobiography this week and he said when he met Hart for the first time, Hart taught him "c*cksucker's rummy," a card game where the only rule is that you have to find more and more creative ways to cheat as the game goes on.

South Park: “Freedom of Speech” This is the first time this season South Park has pulled its punches.

Events delayed my recapping last week's South Park, the only episode this season so far to not go as hard as it could have. However, the subplot about Kyle's mom and Gaza was perfect.

TV characters who would have been at January 6:
1. A. J. Soprano
2. Ziggy Sobotka (Wire season 2)
3. Tobias Fünke (thinks it's an audition)
4. Tuco Salamanca (Breaking Bad)
5. Jonah Ryan (out-runs Josh Hawley to safety)

The studio system used to invest in these kinds of films all the time. MGM knew The Wizard of Oz wasn’t going to make its money back in the first release, but they wanted the prestige that came with it.

If you look at the other website, the knives are out for her in full force.

The Leopard is top 20 for me. Even though he’s dubbed, it still may be Lancaster’s best performance.

It’s like watching the Harlem Globetrotters go up against a dog. Yeah, they can defeat the dog, but what’s good is the spectacle if the opponent isn’t worth the effort?

He‘s an incredibly predictable interviewer that way: If he likes you, softballs. If he doesn‘t, he just talks at you nonstop to the point where you wonder whether or not there’s even a question there and it’s all just a bit.

to be more specific, although FDR had to play ball with southern segregationists in congress, he did not do so by sacrificing black voters in the urban north to their whims.

To quote Frost/Nixon, “when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.”

I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

“I went to the doctor and all he did was take blood from my neck. Don’t go see Dr. Acula.”

Roman: Ordinary fucking people.
Kyle: Yeah, I know that movie. The guy's brother drowns.
Roman: That's why you can't sell a decent script - because everyone's completely stupid. Nobody knows Repo Man!
- Party Down

Got it. I was confused.

I don't even know what link you posted. It doesn't show up with anything.

The "lizard people" thing was less a target towards Obama specifically and more just a phrase she used to throw around a lot on Twitter. She did have other mean tweets specifically directed at Obama though.

In a video shared to Twitter, ICE is shown throwing congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social to the ground

I grew up reading Vanity Fair's awards coverage. Now that she's West Coast editor it's gonna be like "The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor should go to RFK Jr for the Earthworm Jim movie! Hee hee hee!"

Olivia Nuzzi Has Always Been This Bad. Journalists who’ve defended Nuzzi need to look at themselves in the mirror following her involvement with RFK Jr.

I wrote this piece a year ago this week when Olivia Nuzzi was outed for sexting RFK Jr. and I stand by every single word of it today. She's your headache now, Vanity Fair.

In this action, a prominent American citizen (perhaps the most prominent American citizen) alleges defamation by a prominent American newspaper publisher (perhaps the most prominent American newspaper publisher) and by several other Case 8:25-cv-02487-SDM-NHA Document 5 Filed 09/19/25 Page 2 of 4 PagelD 166 corporate and natural persons. Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages. Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three. Pages one through seventy-nine, plus part of page eighty, present allegations common to both counts and to all defendants. Each count alleges a claim against each defendant and, apparently, each claim seeks the same remedy against each defendant. Even under the most generous and lenient application of Rule 8, the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.

A complaint is a mechanism to fairly, precisely, directly, soberly, and economically inform the defendants — in a professionally constrained manner consistent with the dignity of the adversarial process in an Article III court of the United States - of the nature and content of the claims. A complaint is a short, plain, direct state- ment of allegations of fact sufficient to create a facially plausible claim for relief and sufficient to permit the formulation of an informed response. Although lawyers re- ceive a modicum of expressive latitude in pleading the claim of a client, the complaint in this action extends far beyond the outer bound of that latitude. This complaint stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements of Rule 8. This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner. The complaint is STRUCK with leave to amend within twenty-eight days. The amended complaint must not ex- ceed forty pages, excluding only the caption, the signature, and any attachment. ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on September 19, 2025. STEVEN D. MERRYDAY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out Trump's lawsuit against the New York Times, Penguin Random House, & journalists, finding that the complaint violated court pleading rules due to its expansive, over-the-top, "tedious" use of language.

An amended complaint can be filed without all of the BS in it.
