Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

He really is that stupid.

The revolution will be supervised.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Bark louder, little dog.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

A new Jib Jab, and it is as good as all the others.

Second is the X-Men 3 announcement trailer.

    I’ve disagreed with you but never before have I doubted your sanity—Jib Jab is the worst. This one was no better than any of the others…. wait, was that what you meant? Feh.

    Can’t view QT at work, so I guess the X-Men 3 trailer will have to wait. Grr.

    “ruling the free world is hard but I’m doing the best I can” That’s what we’re all afraid of.

    I think Jack Black would have made a much better Beast than Kelsey Grammar.

    I’m mostly with Jack Roy. Jib Jab should have stopped with their first movie. They’ve all been crap since, and this was no exception — I didn’t even bother to finish it.

    Rumor has it the 3rd Xmen will be the worst of the bunch. An allegedly Bad script, with an again alleged rehash of the plot of the second movie, with the fact that this movie has gone through 3 directors. I can’t go into what might make it bad as it would be spoilers. I hope these rumors are not true and that the movie f-ing Roxxorz for the whole two hours. Well, however bad it was, it can’t be as bad as Fantastic Four, or The Hulk, or Daredevil, or Elektra.

    I think that Kelsey Grammer was a great choice for Beast and that it might help break his fraiser typecast.

    wRumor has it the 3rd Xmen will be the worst of the bunch.

    Lessee, the screenwriters collectively have written Elektra, Last Action Hero, Inspector Gadget, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and XXX: State of the Union. That about tells you want you need to know.

    It sure looks cool, but it looks like way too many story arcs thrown in there for any of them to be good.

    I didn’t mind the Grammar casting, but now that Jon H mentions it, Jack Black might have been good.

    Follow up:

    I am working on a magazine cover of Grammar as Hank/The Beast, and he looks fucking good. Really good.

    My initial reaction to this was akin to Michael Keaton being cast as Batman. Hard to picture a comedian as a brawny superhero. Certainly SFX and makeup can take care of the stature issues, Grammers face looks fantastic, and thinking about the voice, personality and intelligence that are actually the hallmarks of The Beast over any “powers” and I am starting to think this is perfect casting.

    Don’t think anyone will read this old thread, but I thought I’d throw my two cents up now that I am staring at a blue Kelsey Grammar all day.
