It will never cease to amaze and delight me that in 1971, Vincent Price came to Hamilton, Ontario for 3 days and shot 130 episodes worth of host material for the low-budget kids show Hilarious House of Frightenstein and played it like it was the Mercury Theater. Total pro.

Absolute poetry watching all the psychos who have spent the last few years boasting about all of our jobs becoming obsolete are now freaking out that their jobs are becoming obsolete

I recently saw Heavenly Bodies in a theatre, which was shot in Toronto in 1983 for zero dollars in like 18 days or something and it looked incredible.

It honestly makes me angry that films nowadays will have huge 200 million dollar plus budgets, and you could literally pick any random movie from 1970-1999, and it would guaranteed look one million times better.

You racist mutt. Ed Burns, the co-creator of the television narrative, was the lead investigator on the Title III cases that encountered all of the counter-surveillance and organizational depth inherent in the Baltimore drug game. We used the real.

David Simon's "the wire" is an excellent series but total fantasy. black gangs are not that sophisticated, skilled, and organized. it's mostly low iq petty crime. they're not even adept at that level.

People saying they can't believe all the dumb things this guy did before he got caught have obviously never seen a Coen Brothers movie.

I remember on 9/11, there was a news report that said, "an abandoned car was found at the airport with a copy of the Quran and a book about how to fly a plane, we believe it may belong to the terrorists," and that seemed pretty stupid too.

There was a time in Canada when a Christian said Merry Christmas and the non-Christian said thank you. Because it was interpreted as being a nice gesture.

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵
23 Nov 2024
Last year, Anton wrote about his strained relationship with Gorka, which in Anton’s account stemmed from Gorka irritating senior White House staff by exaggerating his own role in writing a speech Trump delivered in his first term. Anton said he was charged with clarifying to the media that Gorka did not draft the speech, an act that culminated in Gorka calling Anton a “coward” and scolding him in a Fox News green room, according to his account.
Anton did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while Gorka told The Post: “I don’t comment to the fake failing news."
Anton expected to be in contention for other administration jobs

I first heard this Nicholson quote on Entertainment Tonight in 1986 and I still think about constantly.
