Big Journalism : Maddening Rhetoric

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:33:45 +0000

caught a few minutes of PRI's the world yesterday. they were interviewing european reporters who had just hit the ground in arizona. it was a cozy liberal environment, and they explained how they had the stories written before even getting off the plane. http://www.theworld.org/2011/01/10/gabrielle-giff...

Big Hollywood : Book Review: Dupes Reveals Communist Influence on Hollywood

remember listening to a couple old timers talk about the 45 animators walk out. one mumbled something about the guild being over run with reds. never pressed him on it. anybody here have any details?

Big Hollywood : Hollywood Stand Up Guy of the Month: Patrick Warburton Criticizes 'Family Guy'

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:22:11 +0000

finally saw a couple episodes of the cleveland show the other day. seth macfarland seems to be in a competition with the producer of law & order to see who can create more hours of mediocre television a week. shame, i used to love family guy. but the show has just become a shrill parody of itself. if scrappy doo and lisa simpson had a baby, it would be brian griffin. he is that annoying. probably time to cancel the show again. they could take a few years off, and start over.

of all the newspaper staff being laid off over the past few years, the only one at the new york times with a safe jb would seem to be the guy who crushes dissent on the comment threads.

i'm saving up for a freedom arms model 83 in .454 casull. i have no intention of hunting bear. but got way closer than i'd like to grizzlys last time up there. and don't want to be dependent on their goodwill. unless someone here can suggest something better.

imagine being werner herzog for a minute. he spent his life perfecting the descent into madness movie with fitzcarraldo and aguirre the wrath of god. then THIS falls into your lap. he evenlooks like a dorky liberal klaus kinsky. the only problem is that it comes from a completely unexpected direction. unexpected at least if you're a liberal. treadwell wasn't a business man or a conquistador warrior. he was a do gooder. many still can't wrap their heads around that.

there are pockets of hippies even in alaska. around homer and talkeetna in the summers. but they are not afflicted with the disney/harmony/can't we all get along view of nature. strapping on a .454 ruger just to take out the trash sort of kills the illusion.

i think the problem is that treadwell applied human emotions and values and even reasoning to bears. i know nothing of herzog's politics. but he correctly recognized the vast indifference of nature. i think that even asking the question of meaning in a bears life sort of misses the point. that issue only has relevance when talking about humans.

i reckoned what the world needs is a children's book telling the story of "grizzly man" form the bear's point of view. http://www.attackanimation.com/books/Fwuffybuns/1... i call it "mr. fwuffybuns".

back in school i invented a game called "chomsky". it was exactly like the kevin bacon game. only you took some random event in the news, and in six stages or less blamed america. http://attackcartoons.com/article.php?story=20100...

and he's supposed to have romanced some of the most spectacular actresses of the 20s and 30s. i'm convinced there will never be a decent movie about him because no one can figure out how to make him look bad.

straight off the success of his phenomenal "Dirt Squirrel" arquette created "the tripper". i loved the trailer. and had to see it. even though i was sure i'd be appreciating it on a level the writers did not intend. what a spectacular disappointment. shame. reagan is the monster under their beds. somebody with an understanding and a sense of humor regarding the minds of leftists could have really run with the idea.

i forgot that he chased pancho villa. and was on the pan am board. in a life so full, you wouldn't think he had time for a hobby. cooper's pastime was anti-communism. he was a friend of joe mccarthy. and involved in creating the blacklist. he was too great a man for hollywood to vilify. so they choose to pretend he never existed.

you want a biopic.... aimless teenager joins the army in world war one and becomes one of the country's first bomber pilots. stays in europe afterwards and experiences the glory of paris in the twenties. gets bored and joins the polish air force in their war with bolshevik russia. is shot down and imprisoned. kills a guard with his bare hands and escapes. ends up back in america with $2 in his pocket. finds wrk as a stunt man in hollywood. buys a camera and goes to persia for a few years. practically invents the documentary film. wins an oscar. comes home and co-writes a film called king kong. turns to producing. responsible for the best f the john ford/john wayne westerns. in his spare time stomps on hollywood communists. all of this really happened. his name was merian cooper. in a town based on self glorification he has somehow been ignored.

no reagan movie? i guess you're forgetting the "tripper". a david arquette film about a reagan lookalike axe murderer who stalks the woods slaughtering hippies. you'd think it would be impossible to make a bad movie with such an awesome premise. but they did.
