You have a problem with that, faggot, then go elsewhere.   

#lovetrumpshate

That's pretty much the intolerant response I expected from a flamboyant cinephile like you.

The Trump thread is no place for nauseating displays of comity and togetherness. You Commie stooge!

Couldn't agree more, and from the looks of things, it was almost like the front lines during the Christmas Truce of 1914 around here for a couple of hours this afternoon before settling back to its usual mucky level. I'm just grateful we don't live in the alternative universe where PB, Yorkie, albrecht, and Jackstar join virtual hands and deliver a rendition of "Kumbaya" in jaunty barbershop harmony.

Many of today's overpaid actors/musicians are vapid no talent idiots.

That's a bit harsh. Many of the underpaid ones are, too.

Now that DT has saved an imaginary billion on Air Force One, maybe Pence will finally get around to opening the investigation, announced three weeks ago, into the three to five million imaginary illegal votes cast in the election.

It looks like time was a bitch for Winston Churchill from the moment he was born.

That's because you're a sniveling bitch-ass faggot just looking for any way to frame the current administration in a negative light. The article basically concludes by saying, "Boeing spokesman Todd Blecher said in an e-mail, “We are committed to working the Trump administration and Defense Department on innovative approaches to affordably provide the capabilities America’s military needs.”  :

I wonder if Todd Blecher attended the meeting in DT's head with "the generals" and Boeing.

I would like to have been a fly on the wall during that imaginary meeting with "the generals" and Boeing.

My problem with the simulation idea is, why don't then we live somewhere cool like Skyrim or Middle-Earth or Narnia?  These places don't have tedious tax forms or parking tickets or customer service lines.  Who designed this damned game?

At least we're not trapped in an endless game of Frogger.

[[/b]Hey! Lutefisk is a delicacy, although an acquired taste or traditional ordeal, in the actual sense of the word. Frankly a fight on a cross-roads blanket might be a better form of justice than a lutefisk dinner at church, at least there if you die you get to drink, and fight, to eternity in Valhalla.

We may have our political differences, but sometimes you remind me of Gomez Addams, and I mean that in the best possible way. Cheers!

As-yet unexplained is the dropoff in listeners after the top 10 people on that list.  Without knowing a) how many listeners each programme has and b) the audience share of each programme, the list doesn't convey much useful information.

Heather does not yet appear to have so much as a 1% audience share:

...so it is unclear to me why that list is being touted as some sort of Big Deal.

I don't care one way or another about MITD, but ranking 38th out of 50 on a list like that is definitely not cause for celebration. Rocky Mountain oysters and lutefisk place higher than that on the list of the fifty most popular meat products.

Larry Coryell. I'm not a big fan, but he had preternatural talent.

Dude,...

He is the one who created this "Talk Radio Format"...

He allowed Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh to climb out of the swamp of "Drive Time Radio"...

He caused this problem we are discussing now...

He is the true "Radio God", ....  All Praise the "Art" and let's all together sing his montra;  "Hummmmmm"....

Bomar

I don't know if he created the all night talk radio/phone in format, but Larry King was doing it in the early eighties before he descended into the miasmic swamp of CNN.

Quote from: Bomar on February 23, 2017, 06:55:33 PM
There are only two names in Broadcast Media worth remembering...

Ernie Kovacs and Art Bell...

All others are intimations and poor copies of the originals...

Bomar

I would include Stan Freberg.

Movies would be much better if more actors emulated Ricardo Montalban. Just sayin'.

TRUMP JUST STOOD UP FOR EVERY JEW IN AMERICA WITH SPEECH THAT WILL SEND CHILLS DOWN YOUR SPINE.  2.22.17.

I don't mean to be picky, but the video would have been way more spine chilling if it had shown the speech itself instead of a guy behind a desk just reading a transcript of it. The infomercial at the end exhorting the viewer to go to the App Store and "grab the Candid App" piqued my interest, though.

Movie remakes I would like to see remade and the actors I want to star in them

Dune
Lord of the Rings etc
Dark Crystal

Not happening.
Also, anything with Nic Cage.
Never.

If you don't watch his movies, you don't get to call him Nic. Sorry, that's just how it works. I don't make the rules.

*I should add I'm doing a Jack Nicholson retrospective and just rewatched The Shining the other day for the first time in decades. Jack's performance was nothing short of pure genius.

He's always good even when the movie isn't, and The Last Detail is probably my favorite of his performances, with Chinatowen a close second.

Are any of his old biker/psychedelic psycho movies part of your retrospective? It's fun to see him and Bruce Dern snacking on the scenery in those!

Forrest Gump/John Malkovich

Run, Forrest! Run!

Directed by Rob Zombie with Sheri Moon Zombie playing Donna Reed's part. And Sid Haig who forgets the cash in the newspaper.

I was thinking Robert Rodriguez directing, with Salma Hayek as Mary and Cheech Marin as Clarence. Sid Haig as Uncle Billy is an unconventional, but intriguing choice that might just work, and Christopher Walken is my first choice for Mr. Potter.

Movie remakes I would like to see remade and the actors I want to star in them

It's a Wonderful Life/Danny Trejo

Movie remakes I hope are never remade and the actors I pray don't star in them

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting with Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves

The Explosive Generation from 1961 on The Works network. I've seen it before, and it's not half bad. Shatner is actually very good as a hip high school teacher who relates to the kids, who dig him in return, but ultimately runs afoul of the square parents and school board who disapprove of his newfangled methods. Drama and some hilarity ensue.

Shatner is actually uncharacteristically restrained in this, and it may be the only movie he made without leaving teeth marks in the scenery.

It also features Beau Bridges and Edward "Chief" Platt in supporting roles.

I wonder if Mitt Romney would have gotten another dog if he'd won in 2012.

What's your point?

Well, he did have Christie but he kept peeing on the rug

I imagine Chris wishes he had the two things he left at the vet's office after DT took him there a few months ago.

Trump is the first president in 150 years to not own a pet.

He had a three month old Labrador retriever puppy years ago, but he had the pound take it away because it didn't show him enough unconditional love and adulation.
