Ace and John’s debate over ideology and film reminded me of Jonah Goldberg’s wonderfully counter-intuitive column this week about leaving liberal Hollywood to liberals. His points about the unintended political consequences of “The Wire” and how no amount of global
Blame my middle age, but my taste in films hasn’t changed. I’ve been collecting movies for thirty years now (3300 and counting), and there’s nothing in my collection I’ve “outgrown.” It wasn’t me who changed; movies did. There was a
Evan Todd is a Columbine survivor — a student who was shot and wounded in 1999 during what is still the deadliest school shooting in American history. With an open letter penned to President Obama, Todd dove head first this
Been a fan of Brian Regan’s forever, and have been waiting for just as long for him to breakthrough in the same way Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano did. The guy’s absolutely hilarious, swears as little as Bill Cosby, and as far
Blurays arrived today: “The Robe” (1953), “The Passion of the Christ” (2004), “Quo Vadis” (1951), and “Ben-Hur” (1925 & 1959). I already own the DVDs, but find that older titles — especially filmed in Technicolor — look magnificent on Bluray.
This ABC News headline is just another example of the media’s ongoing war against Walmart–a cheap way to make them look like a company in desperate need of immediate unionization because of the fascist way they treat their employees: Walmart
Late last week, Breitbart News reported on a wave of layoffs the once-legendary Washington Post was apparently attempting to cover up. Through the use of ice-cold corporatist terms like “inefficiencies” and the hushing up of its employees, the Post planned
That’s the title of a movie streaming on Netflix. I’ve never seen it. I’ve just always wanted to write that headline.
UPDATE: The “Times” has updated its piece with this news: Soledad O’Brien will leave CNN’s morning show in the spring, but she won’t be leaving the cable news channel altogether. Apparently, she’s going to be an “outside producer,” which means…?
No one can pressure the Associated Press to cover the Obama Administration with a tenth the energy it put towards George W. Bush, but a little uproar from activists and the AP rolls over in record time. Under assault from
For the life of me, I can’t get out of my head Toure’s on-air editorial thanking God for the fact that he was able to abort his own child. Whenever I see the man now or hear his name, it all
Normally I don’t concern myself with MSNBC. An openly leftist news outlet is the least of America’s problems. But this Tweet from Touré is just too rich to ignore: — Data shows that for the avg person the chance to
On his MSNBC show this morning, NBC’s senior White House correspondent, Chuck Todd, reported that Republican senator Lindsey Graham had been successful in his quest to see White House emails concerning Libya. As leverage, Graham threatened to hold up the
At the exact same time BuzzFeed Politics’ Andrew Kaczynski was puffing himself as The Arbiter Of Journalistic Ethics with some new rules about how it’s now wrong to write stories based on what you’re told by unnamed sources, he was
Pew Research released a poll today that should give the White House cause for concern as the days tick by before Senator Chuck Hagel’s senate confirmation vote to become Defense Secretary. The more the public gets to know Hagel, the
Robert Costa at “National Review” reports: Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will appear at the Conservative Political Action Conference next month, according to two sources familiar with the event’s itinerary. Romney’s speech, which will be delivered at the Gaylord
Politico’s Ken Vogel is obsessed with what private citizens do with their own money, especially those private citizens who don’t do what Politico tells them to do — support Obama. You would think that a “real” reporter would be more
Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey helps to clear up the Washington Post’s confusion over the startling 45 cent rise in gas prices in a single month. What’s also of interest, though, is a word found nowhere in the Post’s 750-worder; and
According to the New York Post, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien is leaving the network. It has already been reported that Chris Cuomo and Erin Burnett would be taking over the morning slot currently hosted by O’Brien. Apparently, she has nowhere left
The marvelous MGM musical, 1948’s “Easter Parade,” finally arrives on Bluray today. If you’re already a fan, it’s well worth $14.99. If Bluray was made for anything, it was to recreate the fairy tale beauty of Technicolor. What a feast
For some inexplicable reason, Howard Kurtz likes the idea of paying a fat salary to a figurehead who gives a media institution a false sheen of accountability. Gee, can’t imagine why. I understand the financial pressures that Baron faces. But
ESPN News reports today on how one-percenter Obama fiddled over the long weekend as millions upon millions suffer under his failed economy: Golf Digest reported that Obama also spent eight hours Saturday with Butch Harmon, Woods’ former swing coach, during
Obama’s been running around for weeks now making the false claim that sequestration — which was his idea and something he signed on to — is a “manufactured crisis” that was never meant to happen. Obama was out again today
For who knows how long now, Obama’s been coming out about once a week to publicly demand Congress raise taxes on the “wealthy.” Then, usually within an hour of this happening, the media will scratch its collective head and wonder
Within minutes of President Obama’s statement today demagoguing the upcoming sequestration, both Politico and NBC News’s First Read were up with reports. And like the good, little sycophant stenographers they are, both news outlets headlined Obama’s dire warnings about the effect looming
