Don't know about Dave, but here are my thoughts on Eddington:
1) Too on the money
2) Too soon
Not gonna lie. Elvira Hancock dancing to "She's On Fire" at the Babylon Club flung my life in an entirely unexpected direction. Have no idea what she's been up to as of late, but back in the day that dame was one of a kind.
Still languishing in an obscure corner of the interwebs doing your Old Man Rantypants thing, eh Keith?
Dammit, Olbermann. You used to be a giant. Now you're a pathetic old sod.
You want to make a huge impact, rescue millions of souls, and save America? Attack runaway sports betting!
First try, too!
Affordability IS just a buzzword if not accompanied by specific policy proposals and recommendations for changes to the law.
As a boomer, all I can say to today's movie audiences is "Sorry, guys. We really did fuck up the entire world."
Put your money where your mouth is, Guv.
Why not use one of your billions to pay tuition for med students in Illinois? You can afford it. Don't be greedy.
Since the 60s, it has been widely understood that measures used by governmental agencies to track health of the economy are incomplete, unreliable, and subject to manipulation.
To understand how the economy is actually performing, stop worshipping the golden calf and look at totality.
Not entirely true. As someone who smokes weed on a daily basis, it is illegal for me to buy a gun.
George Wallace lives.
Good for you.
Now that we live in the era of fake authors bragging about having written 23,090 words before lunch, writing for yourself is the only good reason left to be a writer.
The AI slop scribblers can all buzz off.
BS.
Talk to me about tribalism and race cults. Otherwise, you're just flapping your gums.
Hahaha.
Oscars so mostly peaceful.
Dig it.
(Man, I'm gettin' old.)
Reminder: Bootsy Collins is the greatest bass player of all time.
Lloyd and Anthony explain to Bill why worshipping the golden calf is good, actually.
Most decorated soldier I've ever met was a full colonel who did four combat tours (WW2, Korea, 2 in Vietnam), war college, two purple hearts, gallantry medals, etc. Turned down general rank and retired. Quiet, kind, self-effacing, liked to laugh, write, taught college after army.
Opposite of Pete.
Because the Iranians are evil-doers?
From overview of HEAVY, it appears to not really be about gambling, but it might offer insight into how gambling becomes problematic for so many folks.
Worked as gaming exec back in the day. Soulless vampires laughing at patrons while looking to kill you. Let's end this bitch of an "industry".
My theme song, which I'll continue to go with until something better comes along.
Indeed. The PNACers peddled their absurd lies to the general public, but the real rationale for the invasion was very well spelled out by the drooling idiots who held themselves out as "the Vulcans". What a collection of self-deluding amateurs.
Nothing soothing, reassuring or escapist about that movie. Just a scary satire depicting the mass insanity into which America is descending, all watched over by data centers and social media controlled by soulless, money-grubbing techbros. Might be considered a wakeup call were it not so disturbing.
No one in America was asking for it. However, the usual suspects in the Middle East demanded it, so we got it.
In his day, he did his thing. These days, he's out of touch and out of time.
It's time for a greening (youthing) of Congress.
On the catwalk.
Bye Bye Braverman (1968).
It old, it's very clever, very funny, and features a lot of great comedic actors of yesteryear.
Nothing funnier than four Jewish intellectuals driving around NYC in a Volkswagen like helpless idiots while attempting to be profound.
So Iran is hip to photoshop. Who knew?
What used to make America special was our ability to diagnosis and institutionalize dangerous psychopaths like Alex.
For starters....
Then we need a revolution.
Then came the ass whipping. Better luck next time, Ant.
