I almost feel sorry for this pothead

Seth Rogan compared "American Sniper" (the movie) to the fictional film (a film within a film really) called "Nation's Pride" which focused on a Nazi sniper who was touted by Hitler as a hero and plays an important role in the larger movie "Inglorious Bastards". For saying this or making the comparison this "comedian" has been getting A LOT of press - vilified by the red blooded American types and supported by the true blue ninnies but no one states the obvious probable cause that Seth was high as a kite on cannabis when he offered his film criticism.

 Chemically Self-Retarded

Any honest appraisal of this fellows body of work shows a diligent, hard working and funny (in the most crude and adolescent way) Hollywood hack. He writes crap that young people will laugh at and "acts" it out as himself on the big screen.
Pineapple Express, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, The Green Hornet, This Is The End, etc, etc, etc - Have you ever watched this shit? I don't begrudge anyone for making a living, but com'on. And his latest strange cloud induced debacle "The Interview" (ever heard of it?) staring Seth and bong buddy James Franco pretty much shut down - as in put out of business - one of the major Hollywood studios. FYI there's not a lot of forgiveness in LA for making the movie that killed a movie studio.

But not only is this baked hairball a schlocky film maker, he's also a lousy film critic. The "Nation's Pride" movie embedded in "Inglorious Bastards" was a brilliant bit of self referential satire aimed at Quentin Tarantino's actors and especially at his Producer/Patron Harvey Weinstein who bankrolls
QT's blood soaked mass entertainment. "Inglorious Bastards" was the same fantasy world propaganda for Weinstein  as "Nation's Pride" was for the Führer. But one can't expect Seth Rogan's THC encrusted neurons to piece that together so you get what you'd expect - dope infused speculation and wildly discordant "equivalency" thumbed out on twitter after a bong hit.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
