The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg

"The Dildo had a great thread yesterday about whether larding up movies and TV with woke crap was actually bad for box office/ratings, and there were some examples given in the comments of some older movies that did this. In particular, in one of the Lethal Weapon movies, 'Patrick from Ohio' mentioned seeing an anti-gun or anti-NRA sticker on a car -- during a gun fight scene. It was completely stupid.

"Actually, the whole idea of Hollywood trying to go all anti-gun in movies is stupid. Because the underlying message (the 'subtext', if you will) of many, perhaps most, Hollywood movies is simply this: sometimes, you just need a gun.

"Actually, I'd like to revise and extend this subtext a bit. Part one is, as I've just mentioned, sometimes you just need a gun. And then Part two is: some guys just need to be shot.

"You can put up as many anti-gun bumper stickers and billboards in the background as you like, but as soon as the good guy picks up a piece and blows away one or more bad guys, it makes a complete mockery of any anti-gun propaganda or argument the director might want to hit the audience with.

"You can make an anti-war movie. You can make an anti-death penalty movie. You can make movies that push many aspects of the progressive agenda. But the way Hollywood makes movies, I don't think it's possible to make an anti-gun movie. Not without it getting laughed out of the theater.

"I mean, if you want to show a movie where bad guys get their just desserts, what works better on the screen, a soy boy riding in on his segue and handing out subpoenas, or a sneering punk getting his head blown clean off by a large-bore handgun wielded by a good guy?"

Friday's celebs: Katharine Ross and Sam Elliott. The main connection I was looking for was they're married. In fact, they've been married since 1984, which in Hollywood terms is, like, an eternity. Good for them. Also, they've also been in a bunch of movies together, the first one being Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (a movie which does not hold up well at all, by the way). However, they never met during the filming of that movie. Ross was one of the stars and Elliot just had a small part. How small? In the credits, his character's name is listed as 'Card Player #2'.

28 The left is in ecstasy over Trump getting booed yesterday.

In the words of a pro-Antifa Portland mayoral candidate, commenting on the video of Trump being booed:

I found it deeply, deeply satisfying. Watched it five or six times. It provided a sorely needed reality check that it's propaganda & voter suppression propping up his corrupt regime, not the will of the people.

Am I wrong to think that video of Trump being booed by governmental bureaucrats and other people leeching off of the government is not going to exactly resonate in the heartland?

29 I don't agree that Butch Cassidy does not hold up well. The musical bits are a little annoying, true. But the dialog is as smart and funny as ever (especially nowadays when every movie is thuddingly grim). And the picture it paints of two outlaws trying to outrun a world which is changing too fast for them is excellent.

It really is the musical bits that date the movie. "Rain Drops" in particular just kind of sticks out. That doesn't mean I think it doesn't work, just that it feels like it's almost from another movie.

Overall, though, it's still a well-written buddy movie with a great ending.

And a lot of times it's the other way too. Like the woman alone in the house with someone breaking in? She's whimpering in the closet or whatever.

Hmmm...if only she had some kind of thing that one could use to defend herself with in this situation?

I find myself thinking this more and more. Kind of like how texting would have solved 95% of problems in Seinfeld episodes. A gun could solve a lot of problems for movie characters.

That really is a great sequence.

It feels like an easy thing to overcome at the beginning, and the mystery of how the chase continues just builds until Butch and Sundance are both completely flabbergasted at what's going on. The evolution of the delivery of "Who are those guys?" is just great.

Yeah they tie themselves into some crazy knots trying to deal with wine and other liquor in the Bible. Booze is specifically praised many times in scripture, used in moderation.

It was grape juice! Yes, because Jews had no clue about how to ferment wine and would compliment it over other grape juice....

117 We're so far from the old Hat Life we can hardly comprehend it. For starters, hats were ex-pen-sive, and the typical guy would only own one at a time, sort of like dress shoes in a later time. So it got worn all the time -- because, see, you had to wear them. When you went to work or to church or out on errands, you were like a fly-open if you did not have your hat.

So, they were usually grimy, either inside or outside, and they required professional care for cleaning and to keep them in shape, or, you have the option of looking like hell and everyone noticing how poor you were.

And then, pace to purse- carriers, you had to keep track of the damned things, because you were supposed to have it off your head almost half the time. If you left it on a hatrack or with the VD-ridden Hat Check Girl, you had to remember that, sometimes tip to get it back, and if you set it down on a chair, well, you've seen enough movies.

It is fun to have fine hats as a clothing option. In the Good Old Days, there was no option, so they really were not as much fun.

This was done after WWII. GM wanted to sell diesel buses so they spent on a campaign to disparage all the little various types of electric trolley's.

Many small towns had them cause they were cheap and had been in use for a long time. They were quiet and they went on all the main streets/roads. I think Chicago had the last ones in the sixties.

Then GM came in with all their diesel buses, the price of a ride went up and the noise and the stink and the pollution was too much for many small towns so they lost their only mass transit and people had to buy cars to get around.

This is another one only with more cooperation (i.e. instigation) with government. They're going to find that electric cars don't work in the countryside very well but once again the government will tell us to lolgf.

And the real crime is that they are NOT green energy. That electricity comes mostly from Coal or gas some Nukes.

And that's because the so called green electricity of solar and wind are not well developed and expensive as hell.

Which is why all the subsidies.

Exactly.
Obama and other Islamic error apologists have told us for years that "that is not true Islam."

OK, so you're saying the terrorists using the Koran as justification for killing infidels are acting contrary to their faith. If you believe that, then why do you then insist that we respect their "faith" in death? They are apostates, who have twisted their religion to do evil things.


Imam Tawadi and others DO welcome al-Bagdadi's death, and do say he misrepresented their religion. Unlike Obama and other Lefty apologists, they CONDEMN these Islamic terrorists instead of treating them with respect.

There he showed guns were present but essentially useless because the dinosaurs were just too darned smart, tough and fast. Crichton dealt with it differently in the book by having the park's investors insist that no guns be present because the cloned dinosaurs were too expensive.

Also Lethal Weapon had pro abortion propaganda, which, while still stupid, at least didn't openly contradict the movie's main theme.

Islam is the religion of peace, we are told. So the terrorists out to destroy Western Civilization are not really Muslims, they are just the few bad apples, right?

Same with any group really, where we are told "most illegal aliens are good people" ... sure, OK, but with three times the rate of various criminal activity, that broke laws to come here, that are not interested in becoming American, etc. They are not OUR good people, they belong to Guatemala and Guatemalan culture.


So we really have to look at people as groups to some extent ... if only in the "illegal alien" sense that they are a law breaking group that cannot be allowed to continue as a special status, special rights invasion. Or Muslims, more broadly, that have a higher devotion to an "anti-Western thought" religion, why prioritize bringing them? Why prioritize Anti-Americanism for the sake of some absurd "Religion of Diversity"?

228 the colleges in DC were emptied and mobbed the White House gates in celebration.

My kid called during that. You could hardly hear over the phone. All the dorms at the school emptied out in about a minute, people were jumping up and down, chanting, singing the school song, making that football gorilla sports-noise.


It was the most genuine celebration you could possible imagine.

How about the "Red Scare" scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

But it was part of the culture and we took the few times they were kind as personal favors. It is similar to The West Wing. They bash conservatives most of the time but we appreciate the few times they don't.

Hawkeye from the book MASH was a conservative and a patriot. They changed the character from the book to the movie, to the show.

Just an uneven awful film all the way through. The only good scene in the entire film (besides the Indiana Jones reveal) was evil Natasha chick monologuing about what the Soviets intended to do with the skull's powers. Whoever wrote that actually understood what the Communists were up to and why.

260 It wasn't just a random bumper sticker in 'Lethal Weapon', I also recall an anti-NRA sticker on the the refrigerator in Murtaugh's house. Those movies were all about virtue-signalling, from Apartheid to Gun Control to Save the Dolphins.

But another way Hollywood gets the anti-gun point across is to make the pro-gun side look like a bunch of neanderthal ass-hats. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen hunters portrayed as cruel drunkards, chugging whiskey while they wait for Bambi to walk by. In real life, I know absolutely no one who drinks while on the range or in a deer stand.

Or if they want to be subtle, I recall an episode of 'LA Law' that pitted pro- versus anti- gun sides. While the pro- side won the court battle, (the 2nd Amendment is still in the Constitution, after all), the pro-gun defendant didn't get to enjoy his victory, as he was shot and killed on the way to court that morning.

(...)

Yes. Seriously.

The weirdest thing to me over these last years is watching people who scold and condemn people for being Islamaphobes, turn around and insist and demand that we treat the mass murderer with "respect" because we have to stay friends with the good Muslims. Ignoring how many more Muslims these people kill than anyone else, ignoring that they rape and prey on Muslims around them, blow up children around them, and are generally monsters.

Who is it then who actually believes that there are no "good" Muslims? Wouldn't a "good" Muslim WANT these monsters to go straight to hell? Isn't the eternal punishment right and just and good?

283 Mentioned it before, but if you want to see the best demonstration of how guns are necessary watch the BBC series "Luther." Other BBC cop series demonstrate this as well, but this series constantly has the unarmed cops confront a killer, the killer says "Nice try, but I have this pipe/bat/knife/gun, so I'm not being arrested today" and then either the cop (not Luther) is wounded/killed OR Luther fights back, seriously wounds/kills the suspect, and then. . . is suspended for police brutality.

They're the ones who always come up positive in the "Who would go Nazi?" game - it's sad, but a majority of any population will default to doing what they're told and thinking they're supposed to think, no matter how vicious and immoral it is.

293 "Yeah MASH is not as good as you remember it. Its awful."

but at the time, it was apparently pretty "good" propaganda. People developed a lot of "informed opinion" by being influenced by the comedy dialogue. Unless actively resisted (major points and more subtle points) ... it will in time infiltrate the brain and influence opinion.

That is why the flood of leftist hysteria is still dangerous, even as we here recognize it as TDS hysteria based in the war against American liberty. The Masses are being drug along toward leftist culture ... even if they mostly reject a few major points.

But for the prelude about the 1921 Tulsa race riots, I'd be tempted to think that the 7th Kavalry were the good guys and the Custodinos were the fascist bad guys. But I'm forced to conclude that it is a fantasy of how Antifa sees themselves, masked vigilantes to whom neither the law nor the constitution apply.

I will say that the show was well put together, reminiscent of the 50s movies of good guys and bad guys and scenes that drive the plot forward.

There was one moment when Flagg really showed his dangerous craziness. He was determined to take a N. Korean defector into custody; Hawkeye and B.J. were pulling their comic routine, not taking him seriously.

He pulls his Colt .45 automatic and racks the slide -- and in that moment you knew this guy was dangerously unbalanced and would use that gun in a second. Hawkeye and B.J. stopped clowning instantly.

All this woman's words mean is that we're weak and need to be afraid of people who follow ISIS. And no one respects that. Certainly not the average Muslim on the street.

And not a one of these people who know better than us, have the first clue about what it means to actually believe *anything* or to believe in the absolutely REAL consequences of eternity and judgement. But they DO believe that even the "good" Muslims are irrational primitives.

Agreed on the anti-male thing, as well as Raymond's mewling and Debra's cattiness. For me, it resonates because I grew up with a younger brother and crusty old man (mom was a hot mess when they divorced, nuff said). I also really love those moments where a character is forced to account. Marie inteferring in Robert's FBI opportunity comes to mind.

One of the weirdest bit of framing that feels like it should have been product placement but isn't comes in the Shyamalan movie Unbreakable.

Towards the end, there's a long shot of Bruce Willis' kid across from him at the breakfast table.

Louie is supposed to get on your nerves! And the series never made the mistake a lot of sitcoms do, of the main characters accepting the unlikeable guy or girl into their group. Wouldn't happen. When Louie interacted with the others outside of work, it was because he *forced* himself in.

The Bible only teaches moderation, a teaching that (along with the condemnation of drunkenness) makes sense ONLY in a context in which alcohol is available in significant quantities.

I *have* read one good point being made, that distilled spirits are far more potent than the potables of the ancient world, but that still leads only to a warning to be moderate, not abstinent.

Take the Marvel movies. Throughout, the government cannot be trusted. Elected officials are in cahoots with the bad guys.
Look at the movies in which the police are portrayed as the bad guys.
And yet the Hollywood whores (formerly actors and actresses) want us to give up our guns, at the same time they're showing us, again and again, that those in power over us, authorized to use violence against us, cannot be trusted.

It was a devastating blow: Neff's homegrown repertory festivals have shown many older Fox movies, including Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Zardoz, the original versions of The Day the Earth Stood Still and Suspiria, and Phantom of the Paradise. He asked the theater to double check with Disney to make sure there hadn't been some mistake. "Our Fox booking contact offered a very brief apology that she could no longer book repertory titles with the theater," he says."

Yeah, I did see that.

Right now, that means theatrical distribution is getting cut off (which isn't good). I do wonder if they're going to extend the vault idea to home releases like Disney does with its animated films. Even just limiting it to some popular things (like Alien) is ungood.

I never really liked Disney buying Fox, and it just seems to get worse all the time.

516 502 I liked Barney Miller a lot because the characters were all great - Wojo, Fish, etc - and the most hilarious plots were the ones about things that happen to real police stations, like the guy who demands he has to locked up because he's about to turn into a werewolf, and then he starts freaking out and howling. And the cops are all just normal guys trying to figure out, "ok, now what the hell do we do with THIS?"

Exactly. Some of the humor was very subtle. Steve Landesberg's low-key version of Mr. Spock, the "intellectual" cop, could always be relied on for a subtle gag.

517 I never really liked Disney buying Fox, and it just seems to get worse all the time.

I feel like Trump would win 49 states if the DOJ announced they were forcibly breaking up Disney.

518 Zinn is not a historian. Freeman at least was trying to do the history right at the time. I enjoyed reading liberal historians more than conservative historians if we were ever assigned any. But the liberal historians i read still cared about their academic standing. They tried to be professional and uphold academic standards.

My point is I never saw someone studying history at the collegiate level read or even mention Zinn. Maybe he is big in high school or in sewing circles. That would make sense. That is why I never heard of the man until Damon's movie. I think his relevance didn't show up until these weird times in the 2000s.

526 Right now, that means theatrical distribution is getting cut off (which isn't good). I do wonder if they're going to extend the vault idea to home releases like Disney does with its animated films. Even just limiting it to some popular things (like Alien) is ungood.

Looks like Disney is trying to create a streaming-exclusive catalog of old classic films

Discussing her campaign with "Axios on HBO", Kamala Harris says electability is the "elephant in the room", questioning whether America is ready for a woman - and a woman of color - to be president.

It's your fault that Kamala couldn't blow her way into the White House. She's like the Big Bad Wolf. She huffed, and she puffed, and she tried to blow her way into the White House.
