Excellent, Heather is taking him to task on the lunar mirrors.

I said I would do the Gab Cast and I will, however if it is filled with people attacking my Family or truly foul stuff I won't be there long. I hope this can be done in a adult way and I hope that is not to much to ask. I don't mind hard questions but I do ask that people be civil.

Art

I wouldn't worry. MV is a reasonable guy and I think he'll keep things civil.

Eric Burdon.  He was pushing a book but it wasn't paranormal.

I debunked Gordon Lightfoot.

Ask Art...why does it seem sloths are always smiling

I think there should be a math question.

Despite having one shoulder higher than the other I am the consummate sack artist. I've never been one for the kinky stuff, though, and this whole 'let's re-enact the Hunchback of Notre Dame' thing gets a bit old after a while.

I agree, the Hunchback of Notre Dame role-play wasn't the best idea in the world, especially after you sustained a hump injury from that god forsaken bell. I tried to warn you, but I was wearing a ball gag. I did however like our Richard III role-play, it was great fun knocking you off that horse and merging the two houses, so to speak, though the horse didn't seem amused. I probably could have done without the ridiculously huge cod piece you insisted on sporting though, the reality of things proving to be underwhelming at best.

It's a report, tout court. It doesn't substantiate anything about the 'stalker' herself.

If doesn't reveal anything, I agree. It's just that people were looking for corroboration that the documents were official, when that had already been established.

Quote
As far as I know, it can't be rescinded, as the guy that took it out died years ago. I meant that whatever he did he'd be in the firing line, so you can't knock him for continuing to write.

As I said, the safest way to go in his position is to disappear. Go learn old Norse and live on the Faroe Islands with your bodyguards and don't tell anyone where you went. Instead, he chose the counterintuitive riskier path and kept writing and appearing publically. People take risks.

This is why you are still toiling in the sci-fi salt mines with your current opus 'Mutant Fruit Flies From Venus', while I am typing this poolside surrounded by several specimens of blond beauty, of either sex, with a hermaphrodite midget

Let's not act like you made your fortune off of your creative endeavors instead of inheriting it along with a peerage. Have you sold the title yet? I suspect "Earl of Luton" isn't going to fetch much on Ebay unless you set the currency to rupees.

I shall compromise with a Star Wars remake, starring Falkie as the Death Star. Another point in its favour is that we can get Kathy in as Chewbacca without having to spend extra money on a costume. I am thinking of writing you in as 'Hand Solo', the filthy masturbator.

I'm in.

Quote
It's only bean counters like me that keep you on the straight and narrow. If I hadn't talked you out of that porno version of 'On Golden Pond', you'd have wound up doing shitty wine commercials and sofa surfing chez Falkie.

The film would have been glorious, but you stomped it. You stomp all of my ideas, "Deliverance: The Silent Musical" was stomped, as was "Titanic II", "Hand Stroker's Falkiestein", and the stop motion "Caddyshack" remake done entirely with meat. Your singular lack of vision even prevented you from recognizing "Gone With the Welfare Check" for the epic magnum opus that it was. Know that future generations will lament the fact that those films were never made, and lampoon you for your short sighted accounting buffoonery.

We haven't had a traditional conservative for President since Reagan. Cruz is a traditional conservative as is Rubio (despite the gang of 8 immigration bill he now says was a mistake).  Both would appoint strict constructionist judges.

I don't think there is any such thing as a traditional conservative anymore. There are just religious values conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and neoconservatives. I say this because I go back and look at prominent traditional conservatives such as William F. Buckley or Barry Goldwater and I find that they are very different from anything today. Even Ronald Reagan, great as he was, slipped a bit ideologically with the war on drugs and the amnesty. So when people tell me that so-and-so is not a real conservative, I scratch my head. There are no real conservatives up there.

As far as appointing justices, I would be comfortable with either Cruz or Rubio on that count. The trouble is, when vetting justices these guys can look good, like Roberts did, but then once you put them in there they go all liberal.

Quote from: FightTheFuture on February 02, 2016, 02:51:24 AM
Trump is not a conservative. He can not win a general election as a Republican. Period. He`s John McCain with money; an arrogant Mitt Romney -- except more liberal. Trump is a New York democrat at heart. If elected, he will govern as a liberal, and worse, appoint Supreme Court Justices as a liberal.

Yeah, that's thinking from years ago. There is no such thing as a conservative anymore. There hasn't been for some time. It was all bullshit, Barry Goldwater called it out decades ago just before the evangelicals and neoliberals poisoned American politics. The issues everyone has worried about and voted over the last two decades, such as abortion, were just memes and wedge issues promoted by talk show hosts, political talking heads, politicians, pastors; everyone in society that makes their living through bullshitting people. But throughout it, the politicians have never intended to solve those issues. They are too useful to bring up when trying to get elected to squander by solving. That's why they are still with us.

Do you really think, at the end of a Cruz presidency, abortion will be illegal? Fuck no it won't be. And even if it did end up illegal, it would be inconsistent with the constitution. The opposition to abortion is solely based in people's religious philosophy. Separation of church and state prevent us, constitutionally, from imposing someone's religious philosophy on someone else. It's very simple, the choice of the evangelical is to shit on their religion or shit on the constitution. How can Cruz do both? Well, he managed to do it by bullshitting everyone and acting like a pastor. That's pretty sad.

What Republican president since Reagan has appointed a conservative justice to the SCOTUS? They end up being liberal, time and time again. The last time it happened was Clarence Thomas and he almost got borked over the pubic hair on the coke can affair. Well, that's lawyers. Cruz is a lawyer.

You guys fell for that "New York values" abomination, so I'm asking you, why do you have faith in lawyer values?

This could be interesting, I like Stanton, though he'll probably just say the same old things unless Hoagland steers it somewhere crazy.

Quote from: FightTheFuture on February 02, 2016, 01:12:46 AM
Incorrect. Cruz polls better against Clinton than Trump does. And Rubio does just slightly better than Cruz.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_presidential_race.html

It has nothing to do with the popular vote. It's the electoral college. If the GOP wants to win this, they need to introduce some kind of wildcard to change how the map behaves because they haven't a chance in hell if the trends continue as they did in the last election. Too many red states went blue last time around. If VA and Florida are no longer reliable, which that appears to be the case, then no Republican will be elected to the presidency again under the present circumstances.

Introduce a wildcard that can resonate with independents as Trump can, then there is a chance. But at this point, the evangelicals of Iowa voted for Hillary Clinton because Ted Cruz is good at acting like a church pastor.

Quote from: Donald Noory on February 01, 2016, 09:56:11 PM
Yeah like the scummy flyers Cruz's team left at people's doors, stating not voting is a violation, and voting records are public, and you and your neighbor's voting records will be published. Guy's a douche and doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of being elected president.

I actually agree with you. That flyer was highly unethical and reveals the type of person Cruz is. The evangelicals really need to realize that he's a politician, not a preacher, despite acting like one. And if he ends up the nominee, he cannot win that election. It is mathematically impossible. A vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary Clinton.

I hadn't seen Wong's name either...  :-(

Can't wait to see it!!!

Wong's there, he wrote the second episode.

Quote from: Sean92008 on February 01, 2016, 10:59:35 PM
Will be streaming it tomorrow!

Really pleased with how the first two went.  Where's Vince Gilligan though, was he on tonight's credits???  He's my friend of a friend that I intend to pursue with two spec. scripts.

As far as I'm aware he's not involved in this incarnation. Tonight's was written by Darin Morgan, who also wrote "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and a few other classics. He hit it out of the ballpark with tonight's script.

Easily my favorite comic episode of the whole series, was not expecting it to be THAT GOOD.

I know, I'm sitting here giddy over the fact that I just added a new entry in my top ten favorite X-Files episodes and it's easily in the better half of the list.

I did not expect to see one of the best comedy episodes of the entire X-Files series tonight, but that's what that was. Easily as good as anything in season 1-5. 10 out of 10.

This episode is an instant classic so far.

Take that to the fidget thread, I'm talking Art bell professionalism here. I'll ignore it there, thank you very much. However, that would be a good (& professional) question for Art to ask me.

Well, you've sort of made this all about you Fidget, so we need to talk about your professionalism first. You need to establish credibility. If we are to consider your position, which you seem to want since you're speaking about it publically in the Art Bell thread, then we need to know where that money went and why it wasn't refunded. That's step one.

Quote from: Donald Noory on February 01, 2016, 04:20:25 PM
You've "only ever listened to two songs." Oh, yeah ok. Actually you listen to music all the time. Ever watch a movie? Besides any songs on the soundtrack, there is a score. Ever go out anywhere and hear the radio playing? Or maybe you go everywhere with earplugs in your ears, and when any music comes on during a movie, you put in earplugs?

I was lying, yes. *shakes head*

Quote from: Value Of Pi on February 01, 2016, 03:36:38 PM
Why don't you like "Fiddler On The Roof?" I mean, who doesn't like this show, except for the obvious candidates?

I like no musicals at all. Music grates against my soul like a power sander. I have only ever listened to two songs, an aria by Bach which was played over and over by my parents in an attempt to brainwash me as a child, and the soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" which I loved against my better judgment. Music is a distraction.

At the risk of indulging in a bit more post-mortem equine brutality   ....    but you've never been the sort of guy to turn down a hump, if those begging emails you send me are to be believed.

If sending you the words "let's hump" with you responding less than ten minutes later with "7 p.m., my place" constitutes begging, then a beggar I am. The sad fact is that you are a filthy slut. And I love you for it.

that report is not evidence of anything, other than confirming that a report was filed.

People were asking for corroboration that the police reports existed and weren't made up. They were corroborated by the fact that they were released by the Sheriff's department directly. Seems completely cut and dry to me.

Quote
The rescinding of the fatwa wasn't conditional on Rushdie stopping his seditious scribblings and becoming a window cleaner

I don't think it was ever rescinded. It's my understanding that Rushdie gets a Christmas card from the Iranian theocracy each year reiterating that they still intend to kill him. That said, look, if you're concerned about your security in his situation, you disappear as best you can and maintain as low a profile as is possible. Rushdie did not. He continued writing and doing the lecture circuit, and does to this day. I don't blame him for that, but he's taking risks, the same as Art took a risk playing in the snow. It's just what humans do.

I was thinking of a remake of Fiddler on the Roof, with Falkie as the fiddler, but I don't think they have invented a material strong enough to keep him up there without some kind of wire-harness

I never liked Fiddler on the Roof, so that idea is dead. I think we need to think science fiction. Dr. Falkie, a mad scientist who has been rejected by the scientific community at large (but not Hoagland) has constructed a time machine of rather poor quality out of the magnets from a pile of broken box fans. He uses to the time machine to visit his friend and financier George Noory in the past, but encounters mystery and intrigue when he notices that George looked older in the past than he does in the present. After smoking a joint and deliberating on it over a bag of potato chips, Falkie embarks on a quest to find out why only to discover that George is an alien sent from the future to dumb down the human race and prepare us for conquest. Then Falkie screws the whole thing up and we get conquered. I smell blockbuster.

I have noticed in the past that you do tend to over-stress the drug references in our previous film collaborations. I know you are all into meta-narrative, but I thought the Driving Miss Daisy remake we did, where they were both doing bumps of coke off the hood of the car, made it very difficult to sell in the Bible Belt. 

I'll remind you that our Driving Miss Daisy remake did $24 on a budget of $16. It was pure genius on my part for having the car inexplicably explode at the end of the film killing the occupants. The batman cameo was equally bad ass and you know it. So stop thinking commercially and let me do what I do best; direct movies. Like Orson Welles, I feel like I'm being boiled alive by the studio system. There's too much producing going on around here.

Still haven't answered the question fidget, where did that money go and why was it not refunded?
