Big Hollywood : Where Offensive Speech is Prohibited, Tyranny Will Follow

Wed, 8 Jul 2009 18:12:52 +0000

Like, you realize that the FCC already prohibits speech on television in all sorts of ways. And didn't I just read an S.T. Karnick piece here a few days ago about how awesome the Production Code was?

Too on-the-nose, too. Of all the punchlines you could go with for that Clinton thing, "We'd all be speaking Arabic"? That's the best you can do? These are just, like, C-list blog talking points, not jokes. Y'all should write some punchlines for that one. I bet they'd be better.

Big Hollywood : Isn't It Bromantic...

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:33:13 +0000

Dude what? When I say "fratboyish" I don't mean frats or college guys specifically, I'm talking about the standard *conservative* criticism of a 20-something guy culture that values extended adolescence (binge drinking, video games, sexual promiscuity) and puts off traditional "manly" virtues like getting a good job, house, wife, kids, etc. This is the type of masculinity someone like Jenner gives off, not a metrosexual one. Alls I'm saying is that Lindsay picked the wrong gender critique of "Bromance." It's not about wussy masculinity, it's about extended adolescence. The title is a fake-gay fratboy-style joke, as are the candles, etc.

Oh, I wasn't casting aspersions on you or any of the commentators (well, maybe Lola). I was thinking of Gary Graham's whiny pieces, actually.

Just look at the fake tan Lindsay's sporting in that photo. Metrosexual, heal thyself! Brody Jenner is kind of a spoiled tool. He's emotionally stunted, fratboyish, a jerk to women. He's actually not a sensitive wussy metrosexual at all. The concept of that "Bromance" show isn't that it's touchy-feely or metro, it's all tongue-in-cheek, half-joke. It's decidedly fratboy. Fratboy culture loves clowning around with fake-gay innuendo. Not that that's much better, it's just something different. If you want to make it about CRISIS IN MASCULINITY, this one's more about the whole stunted man-child thing than being affeminant. Seriously though, it's not just me right? Look at that picture of Joseph Lindsay, then look at that picture of Brody Jenner, and tell me who's more butch.

Big Hollywood : 'Law & Order' UK: White Landlord Did It

1) If you want to base it on the politics of the creators, read that link I posted. http://prorev.com/2008/03/wires-writers-come-out-... (sorry, the direct time link won't work in these comments for some reason) And The Wire was not "based on the memoirs of a real detective." Ed Burns, a former detective (and signatory of that jury strike piece, I might add), was a writer/producer on the show, and there are real people who Avon and Omar are loosely based on, but it's not "based on a true story" in any real sense. (Not that I don't love it, I'm just being clear here). 2) "The Wire is one of the very few shows that actually show the justifications for why law enforcement needs to fight drug dealers. The cops are the good guys, the criminals are the bad guys" If this is really what you got out of that show you must've been watching under the influence of some of that Pandemic. re: L&O's "ripped from the headlines" episodes You guys should love those! You're not going to find more "celebutard" hate in any other primetime drama.

Zah? Pretty much the entire mechanism of L&O is 1) cops find bad guy 2) naive liberal justice system tries to let bad guy off on a technicality 3) ADA finds a cunning way to foil liberal justice system and put dirtbag away Except for the 30% of the time when it turns out the defendant was covering for his son or something. And, as other posters have pointed out, they've had pro-gun rights, anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-immigration, (&etc) message episodes. Every now and then the killer is a businessman, sure, but just having a villain who happens to be a businessman != anti-corporate sentiment. The last two eps I saw both had prominent anti-union themes, and vindictive union members were the killers.

The Wire is awesome! But if you're beefing with L&O because it's too liberal, I don't know how you could possibly enjoy The Wire. http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1719872,...

I definitely read this poster's name as "David Edelstein" at first, which made this post much funnier.
