Just saw a preview for Bill Maher, and the Great Orange Satan will be on.
*** Update ***
The 8 o’clock movie on HBO is the Marine, which is so aggressively bad in every regard that I can not stop watching it.

I thought Halloween was over?
Sirkowski, ROFL!
Is it the creators of Half-Life?

John, you’re a liberal now. He’s not the great orange satan, he’s our all-powerful, all-knowing overlord

You’re right, it is absolutely terrible. But what’s worse is there are people who watch a movie like “The Marine” and actually take the time to LIST GOOFS FROM IT on IMDB. That’s like finding errors in Mr. Nanny! “Ahem, the filmmakers neglect to show that Hulk Hogan has proper nanny training before taking the nanny position.”

John, has anyone given you the decoder for the blinking messages Markos sends out to his faithful hordes? You’re a recent convert, after all.

Somewhere, in an alternate universe in which Hulk’s presidential bid succeeded, this is a quote from a hooker sex scandal…

Carrot Top?

The Writer’s Guild of America is striking on Monday, so there won’t be any new episodes of the Daily Show or the Colbert Report for a while. If the strike is as long as in 1988, 5 months, then there won’t be much coverage of the primaries.
This should also have some effect on Bill Maher’s show. No more intro segment and no more New Rules for a while.
I predict that the republicans take back the House and the Senate and keep the Presidency… ;)

OT But Fuck Schumer and Swinestein

All hail our all-powerful, all-knowing overlord!
Is The Marine as bad as Walking Tall with the Rock?

John Cole was right. The other Dems were pandering on this. It’s a safe vote against, because there are enough votes to confirm.

worst but so bad good movie ever.
“Whiffs”
With Elliot Gould and the scrumptious Jennifer O’Neil.

Oh, come on people. The worst movie of all time — because it’s got Clint Eastwood in it and just a dollop of good scenes to keep you watching it — is Heartbreak Ridge. God damn that movie. I must have sat through it seventy times when it was on heavy rotation on Skinemax.
Heroically blasting a Cuban bulldozer crew? On Grenada? Yumpin Yiminy.

“Heartbreak Ridge” always reminds me of a Doonesbury comic where they point out there were more medals awarded to the military for the invasion than there were soldiers involved. The punch line: “So it’s sort of like a Special Olympics for the military?”
The platoon from that flick sure made it seem like it.

I don’t remember seeing that Doonesbury, but man it’s spot on.

Tonight I finally saw Million Dollar Baby. Wonderful movie, but it’s on my “never watch this one again” list, just like Titanic.
See that’s what is wonderful about a really bad movie. You can watch it over and over again without ever feeling sad.
The Other Steve
Heartbreak Ridge was actually a pretty good movie. I didn’t think it took itself too seriously, and it offered an interesting criticism on Grenada and the gung-ho attitude of the modern military who has not seen real war.

You mean using a bulldozer to take out cubans. According to wikipedia, it’s based on a real event. In fact Abizaid(yes that one) was in command of the company.
And using hte payphone to call in an airstrike, also based on a real event.

Markos was okay, but Alison Stewart totally rocks.

“The Marine” was like an freeway accident that I, too, couldn’t prevent myself from gawking at. I kept thinking that it took some major cajones to make that “film”. It’s on the same level as that MST favorite “Plan 9”.

Freeway accident is right, but then again, maybe we shouldn’t be expecting much from WWE films…

Have you made it on to the Town House list yet?

Pfft. Half-Life it’s all about portal bitches. The cake is a LIE!
