Academy Awards Dump 2020

Harriet Tubman would be so proud!
This blog has chronicled the death of Oscar (which officially happened in 2017) and the excruciating death rattle of 2019 and last night. I tuned in for the red carpet and watched the world burn for three+ hours culminating in some Korean gibberish and the stunned faces of white, multi millionaire movie stars trying to figure out what happened. What happened? Here's the breakdown.

  • Ford v Ferrari – A live action remake of "Cars 2" and the duel between Lightning McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli. As Henry Ford once said,  "History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history that we make today." Amen.
  • The Irishman – Robert De Niro in a Martin Scorsese mob movie - talk about beating a dead horse. Here's how it died: "Mean Streets" A+ NYC grit - "Goodfellas" A depressing tail of gangsterism - "Casino" B+ it's Goodfellas in Las Vegas - "The Departed" B it's Goodfellas and Casino in Boston - "The Irishman" hey Marty, you've been making the same frigg'n movie for the past 50 years (with the same cast!)
  • Jojo Rabbit – Hitler + Scarlett Johansson is funny but I have a bad feeling that this is the 2020 version of "The Lobster" (which sucked).
  • Joker – Great movie reviewed in KOTCB Deer Life in Clown World - check it out.
  • Little Women – 21st Century Women don't understand 19th Century Women and, when you consider everything, I'm not sure today is better than yesterday.
  • Marriage Story – Scarlett Johansson is Hitler.
  • 1917 – Didn't see it but I did see Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old" and that documentary, which is excellent, will show you in vivid color that there was NO GREEN GRASS on the other side of the trench so you know, just from watching the "1917" trailer, that this movie is sugar coating the hellscape of WW1.
  • Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – Brad Pitt is a corporation that hates fucking hippies and I'm okay with that as explained in KOTCB “fine people” on BOTH SIDES.
  • Parasite – Bong Joon-ho sucks the life blood out of Hollywood.

I will sum up what happened over the past 55 years in one simple and devastating photo side-by-side which shows what life was like BEFORE Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and AFTER the Parasites drained the soul juice out of La La Land.

1965 to 2020
Take a good long look at the beautiful face of an innocent 25ish Jane Fonda and the sliced and diced mug of the octogenarian hag who marched out to the mic to open the envelope last night. What a shocking and disgraceful example (personified) of the sickening deformity the 60's cultural revolution inflicted on our magnificent nation. America should have hung them early on when they had the chance but they got away and destroyed our culture so now we just have to wait for them to die off from natural causes. Goodbye De Niro... Goodbye Batman... Goodbye Charles Manson... Goodbye Hitler... Goodbye South Korea...

And Goodbye Hollywood.

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

The 4th Estate "does not know"

Last night Jim Acosta sat down for an interview with Larry Sabato at a national symposium series presented by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics titled “Democracy in Perilous Times.” The evening’s topic was “ The Fourth Estate: Enemy of the People? ” and the crowd was warmly receptive of Acosta’s message which, boiled down to its essence, is that Donald Trump is a liar and he’s making life dangerous for reporters. Sabato introduced Acosta to the audience as Enemy #1 which drew mirthful laughter from the auditorium and then presented a short video montage of President Trump and his deplorable rubes insulting the reporter on many occasions over the past two years. This was all a set up for his first question which was, “how do you do your Job?” Acosta said the he accomplishes his duties by maintaining focus, reporting the story and telling the truth but acknowledged that it is difficult when the White House erodes the peoples faith in the press by bullying reporters.

A Apolitical Blues

Well my telephone was ringing, and they told me it was chairman Mao. You got to tell him anything 'cause I just don't want to talk to him now. According to the brilliant troubadour Lowell George the Apolitical Blues are " the meanest blues of all" and who am I to disagree with this soul man now after all these years of living by his maxim.  I first heard the song bursting from the 1972 vinyl of Little Feat's Alt-Rock-Country masterpiece "Sailin' Shoes" in the second story bedroom of my friend John's older brother Edie who, being about 3 years our senior, was instructing us on the importance of good music. This was circa 1975 and a formative time for my musical taste and overall aesthetic which, for better or worse, infuses every aspect of my existence including the KOTCB blog so a debt is owed this unforgettable "older brother" now that  he has shuffled off this mortal coil  and left us with smoky memories. A born rebel with the heart o
