But-But-But Hollywood Told Me Pro-America Doesn't Sell Overseas

One of the most dishonest theories anti-American Hollywood asks Americans to swallow is that the reason there are so few pro-American films produced is due to profits not politics. That is the biggest, fattest, provable lie to come out of

Watch Matt Damon Say 'Intrinsically Paternalistic'

—– Someone needs to take away Matt Damon’s “word of the day” handbook before he hurts himself. And what is this nonsense about teachers getting a “shitty salary.” GOOD teachers should be (and are) paid very well, especially when you

Scripted Showrunners: Reality TV Means the 'End of Civilization'

It makes sense that showrunners of scripted television would loath reality television, but there are a number of terrific reality shows out there that, in my opinion, are saving civilization from scripted television. You watch shows like “Deadliest Catch,” “Dirty

Indiewire's Anthony Kaufman Still Struggling with 'Black Republicans'

Some of you might remember Indiewire’s Anthony Kaufman’s outrageously obscene and patronizing reaction when a *gasp* black conservative (Sonnie Johnson) appeared onscreen in support of Sarah Palin in “The Undefeated.” It was a revealing look at the dark side of

Box Office Mojo Singles Out 'The Undefeated' For Hyper-Analysis

Though Box Office Mojo’s Brandon Gray links to a number of stories he considers to be acts of media spin surrounding the box office numbers attached to “The Undefeated’s” impressive opening weekend (yes, I stand by that), my analysis from

Morning Call Sheet: Wooderson, Angels, and 'Fear of a Black Republican'

–FOUR TIMELESS COMEDIES HIT BLU-RAY TODAY– Not sure why the Reuters headline calls the 1978 film “Animal House” an “80’s comedy,” but aren’t these the same idiots who forever label all-too expected bad economic news as “unexpected.” Anyway, “Animal House,

'Brave' Ricky Gervais' Evangelical Atheism Finally Jumps Shark

Why Christian symbols? We’re awfully easy pickings. If you’re a rich Hollywood star, offending us takes about as much courage as bringing a case of beer to a frat party. Why not Islamic images? Where’s that comedic edge and ballsy

The 'Truth' About Jane Fonda's Trip to Hanoi is Bad Enough

73 year-old, two time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda spends 4200-plus words “explaining” her infamous 1972 trip to Hanoi where she was infamously photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese (translation: the enemy) anti-aircraft gun (translation: a weapon used to kill American

Morning Call Sheet: Pee Wee, Star Wars, Aquaman, and a Happy Friday to You All

…AND NOW A WORD FROM LIBERTARIAN COMEDIAN WILL FRANKEN… “Hello gang at Big Hollywood. This is libertarian San Francisco comedian Will Franken (www.willfranken.com) here. I hope you enjoy this clip. It’s my interpretation of the ideological “handshake” between a multiculturalism-obsessed

Numbers Don't Lie: "The Undefeated" Had a Remarkable Box Office Debut

Box Office Mojo is a universally accepted and respected source for box-office numbers, mainly because they’ve always done a very professional job of sticking to numbers and avoiding the business and political nonsense that tarnishes so many others. As of

Jane Fonda Blames Canceled QVC Appearance on the 'Right Wing'

Should a two-time Oscar-winner like Jane Fonda really be making a spectacle out of the fact that she wanted to appear on a home-shopping channel? What’s next? “Damn those righties! I was looking forward to cutting the ribbon at that

New 'Captain America' Poster Is All About Marketing the Flag-Waving

But-but-but director Joe Johnston assured his liberal Hollywood pals us “Captain America” (opens next Friday) would not be (no joke) “about America” or a “sort of jingoistic American flag-waver”. So what’s this new American-ey poster all about? False advertising? I

Bristol Palin Meets Jay Leno (and Don Rickles!)

—— Don Rickles is hilarious in this clip being … Don Rickles. If you haven’t seen 2007’s “Mr. Warmth,” a terrific documentary directed by John Landis that looks at the last comedian still allowed to stick his finger directly in
