"I know, let's carry out a sneaky, underhanded attack while cloaking ourselves in the robes of righteousness." "OK, but isn't that what we always do?" "Shut up. GOPers are gropers, right?" "You know it." "Buncha damn hypocrites. We all know that Mike Pence is chasing interns around his desk while he's busy not having lunch any woman except his wife." "You're not making a lot of sense there." "Shut up. Nobody will notice and the media will never point it out." "But we need to appear to be non-partisan. Calling it 'Expose the GOP Gropers' makes us sound petty and cowardly." "But aren't we though?" "Shut up. Wait, I for it, let's call it 'Believe All Women'." "I like it. It makes it sound like the Republicans never believe any women. Plus, it sounds all generic and ecumenical and shit." "Also, we need a hashtag. I suggest '#MeToo'." "'Me too' what?" "Got groped by a GOP guy. They can all come forward and tell their stories and everyone we be obligated to believe them." "Yes. Because 'Believe All Women.' The moral imperative will already be in place." "Exactly. They're screwed.

Obamagate is fairly complicated and might not break through the collective sub-normal IQ, especially of women. They're going to have to simplify it. "Obama ran a spy state and a secret police." He spied on political rivals, political competitors, congress and journalists. I don't care if he spied on foreigners. He likely spied on Hillary and Biden as well.

Its too bad most of these Dem governors are not up for election this year, since many of those who are pissed off now will have let this go down the memory hole by 2022.

Obamagate is about the US Pres allowing his political opponents to be spied on and in at least a few cases set up by people who worked for him for purely political reasons. Doesn't matter if Barky broke any actual law, if it had been a Republican Pres letting people spy on a Dem opponent, it would be a Front Page Every Day Scandal.

85 Obamagate is about the US Pres allowing his political opponents to be spied on and in at least a few cases set up by people who worked for him for purely political reasons. Doesn't matter if Barky broke any actual law, if it had been a Republican Pres letting people spy on a Dem opponent, it would be a Front Page Every Day Scandal.

At the risk of being a giant heretic, my wife cannot stand Angelina Jolie. She thinks the woman is perhaps the most untalented hack actress ever, and only Gia made her career- which wasn't even that "good" for what it supposedly was.
Posted by: trev006 at May 20, 2020 11:18 AM (49Hsx) ++++++++++++ Two things that I think led to tremendous prominence: 1) She is good enough for most mainstream movies that aren't too demanding (with some exceptions where she was actually quite good, like The Bone Collector). b. She had the turbo-powered ultra hawt. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 20, 2020 11:21 AM (hYcqw) I remember seeing her in some film, early in her career. She wasn't the star of the thing, and I remember almost nothing about the movie... it was some murder mystery type thing. And then she showed up in a low cut top... traipsing around like the queen of the trailer park. Oh my, did she make an impression. Can she act? Hell if I know. I think she later got some work on her face, as they all do, and turned fairly generic looking after that. I don't know why they do it, but she made quite a career out of it, so who am I to judge.

With actors/actresses and some athletes, especially olympians, I'm interested in the nature/nurture questions. What I mean: Angelina, seems she could have become an actress even if raised by wolves. But for instance, Drew Barrymore, how much of her success is due to her DNA, and how much is due to her family knowing how to guide her to stardom?
Or some olympians, they are amazing athletically, but also, I have noticed quite a few that had olympian parents. And I wonder if part of them making it, was their folks pushing them and telling them they could do it. And I suppose knowing about proper training and coaching and mindset.

It is kind of amusing watching the left try to spin their hypocrisy and claim they never said any of that and besides they didn't mean it that way, shut up.
Its not working. They look awful and stupid. The worst they accused Kavanaugh of has less support and isn't as bad as what Biden has been accused of by a dozen or so women. They trotted out this sad assortment of human detritus to attack Trump with and are ignoring the ones who've been complaining about Biden for 40 years. I dunno if these women are telling the truth or not. Frankly at this point there's no way to prove anything and its the past. What matters to me is watching angry leftist women who screamed for the heads of people like Kavanaugh and Moore and a host of previous Republicans now staunchly and shamelessly defend Biden no matter what... and are trying to change the past and claim they never said what is clearly on record. 1984 ain't in it.

Someone needs to look into Louisiana's nursing home numbers as well. 40% of the state's deaths were in nursing homes. The state stopped reporting nursing home numbers weeks ago, then started reporting them again this past week with no good explanation, possibly to keep people from asking questions as the death toll skyrocketed. Was the break in nursing home death reporting an attempt to stall, to give the administration time to hide its tracks? John Bel Edwards has some explaining to do. He was wetting the bed just like Cuomo and De Wine back in early April, talking about 30K dead in Louisiana, panicking that the state would run out of hospital beds and ventilators. Very possible he ordered a code red on the nursning homes. What did he order and when did he order it?

With actors/actresses and some athletes, especially olympians, I'm interested in the nature/nurture questions. What I mean: Angelina, seems she could have become an actress even if raised by wolves. But for instance, Drew Barrymore, how much of her success is due to her DNA, and how much is due to her family knowing how to guide her to stardom?
Or some olympians, they are amazing athletically, but also, I have noticed quite a few that had olympian parents. And I wonder if part of them making it, was their folks pushing them and telling them they could do it. And I suppose knowing about proper training and coaching and mindset. Where maybe "normal" families lack that knowledge? Posted by: MikeM at May 20, 2020 11:34 AM (RW3Jw) I think if you have a nature/nurture slider, those questions are quite interesting, when it comes to things like athletics. I mean, we might THINK that's mostly genetics, but yeah, having supportive parents and coaches who help a kid develop good training skills, that's crucial too. But with acting, I'd say it's almost all genetics. Both in sense of what God gave them, and in who their parents are. Why? Because it takes almost no talent to act. I'm not trying to be cruel here, it's just not that difficult a craft to master. They want to make it seem like it is, but it's not. Really. The difference in quality between a top flight actor and some kid who gets nominated for an Oscar, is marginal. Tatum O'Neal, for example, in Bad News Bears probably outacted anything her dad ever did. And yet, she never would have been there, if not for her dad.

I remember seeing her in some film, early in her career. She wasn't the star of the thing, and I remember almost nothing about the movie... it was some murder mystery type thing.
And then she showed up in a low cut top... traipsing around like the queen of the trailer park. Oh my, did she make an impression. Can she act? Hell if I know. In a previous generation, much the same thing was noted about Janet Leigh. (the blonde victim in Psycho, as well as many other movies) No one ever claimed she was actually very good, but she was quite pretty, and directors such as Alfred Hitchcock noted that as opposed to most actors and actresses, she was very easy to work with and always did what the Director told her to do without asking any questions. Not surprisingly, Directors loved that about her. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 20, 2020 11:45 AM (Kpl3J) 238

Last night, very late, some idiot ran her car full tilt into a giant tree at the end of my driveway. took out my plantings and took a couple of chunks out of hte tree. Gotta go clean everything up and hope for the best. That tree has actually been hit a number of times in the winter as there is a curve just before it but cars generally slowly slide into it. Looks like this person never even tried to brake. Car literally bounced off the tree. Street was lined with emergency vehicles. My house is set way back from the street so don;t really know what happened to the driver as it was late and dark. Did you know that trees are only covered by homeowner's insurance if they fall on the house?

>>Helen Mirren runs rings around Meryl Streep.
YES! And I love her in the Red movies, not that this requires great acting. Which reminds me, Tatiani Maslany is a fabulous actress (she played the younger Mirren character in "Woman in Gold"). Maslany played clones in "Orphan Black" and had such a subtle yet familiar set of expressions and mannerisms for each clone that she could pull off playing one clone pretending to another convincingly. She should have gotten the Emmy every year for that show. Meanwhile, Meryl Streep has the same mannerisms and expressions (her own, I imagine) for each character she plays because all she does is accents.

The movie starts out with him and Kelly as itinerant vaudevillians, and that number explains why they never got god billing - O'Connor just gets more and more frantic, beating you over the head with slapstick. It's as if he's a comedian dying in front of an audience and keeps cranking up to 11 in order to get a reaction from them. It's just awful.

He had been working in movies as a producer for decades. He knew the stuff about children performers being difficult, and he wrote Anakin as a child. That was him saying, "I can make great cinema because I'm a great director." He failed, of course.

David Lynch is famous for being pretty much universally loved by his actors.

It's the way the kids like it these days, I guess. If the formula was: Good guy encounters bad guy, who does bad things, but manages to, when things look their bleakest, to use some redeeming quality to overcome evil, and win. Now the formula is: Good guy fights evil/bad, somehow seems to manage to pull it out in the end, but NO! There's evil, and he crushes the good guy, the end. Says something about the warped world we live in these days, I believe. Posted by: BurtTC at May 20, 2020 12:08 PM (hku12) 401

* servers wear masks and gloves. * Menus be single-use only * Restaurants have proper ventilation * Restaurants not offer communal seating or bar seating * Self-service stations and buffets are not allowed * Restaurants must have floor decals to direct customers * Bathrooms must be cleaned every 30 minutes and there must be at least 6 feet of spacing between in-service stalls and urinals * Hand sanitizer must be available for patron and employee use *Servers must wash their hands at least every 30 minutes * Customers should be asked to wear masks when they are not eating or drinking * Customers should be asked to register with the restaurant in case an outbreak occurs Posted by: Muldoon at May 20, 2020 12:13 PM (Fc5rx) 429

450 Customers should be asked to wear masks when they are not eating or drinking
Ponder that one for a moment, folks. Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at May 20, 2020 12:17 PM (Boy/L) 0. Food arrives at table 1. Remove mask 2. Insert forkful of food into mouth 3.

++++++++++++++ Ah, so the preliminary direction is out. Most restaurants won't survive under these rules. If I could make rent, I wouldn't even reopen my restaurant under phase 1. Not worth it. That probably amounts to 30% capacity and lots of added expenses and management overhead. Why bother? Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 20, 2020 12:22 PM (hYcqw) 483

If the restroom in a restaurant has to be cleaned every thirty minutes, judging from what I know about cleaning multi-user bathrooms from my days in the Army, the employee will be constantly cleaning the bathroom. As soon as you finish, it's time to start again.

Posted by: freaked dyslexic at May 20, 2020 12:19 PM (Tnijr) They clean the office bathrooms in this building 3 or 4 times a day. Went in one yesterday afternoon and I think the cleaners might have mixed bleach and ammonia. The fumes made my throat burn. Switch out bio warfare with chemical warfare.

While Russia, who is NOT the Soviet Union any longer, and are not Communists anymore, are the defacto largest evil threat in the world! Even though they have not directly killed Americans, like many others have?
One can believe that Vlad is an asshole (like every other Russian leader for the past 1,000 years) and still not fall for whatever the hell it was we were supposed to fall for in this. It was incoherent lunacy from the beginning. Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at May 20, 2020 12:24 PM (Boy/L) 495

The kid actor in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is amazing.
I wonder if she'll turn out to be another Natalie Portman, who could act until she was 13. Posted by: Bandersnatch at May 20, 2020 12:14 PM (gd9RK) There's a young actress who was in a few movies, and had a part in the HBO show, Boardwalk Empire. She's quite good, and does a terrific job in the show. Well, fast forward a few years, and it turns out she has a Youtube channel! Someone I like had recommended her as an alternative to crappy female "comedians" on Youtube, and her channel is full of whacky, weird, sometimes juveline (she's only 16-17 now) stuff, but she's got an appeal. Then she disappeared for a while. When she came back, she announced she'd spent time in a mental hospital, and then cheerfully explains she's been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Yeah, that's not what you got, hon. She's got a difficult life ahead of her. I hate the film industry. Posted by: BurtTC at May 20, 2020 12:26 PM (hku12) 507

268/275 Gene Kelly overated/ Jacques Demy great???
The Young Girls of Rochefort has the worst music in any film i have ever seen or heard. No discernible melodies. It is quite a monotonous movie overall. I have never been able to sit and watch it for more than 2-3 minutes. A Chantal Akerman film that the critics decided to ignore "Window Shopping" has much better music and I actually care about the characters. Probably the only film I can stand by Akerman. Of course only available on old VHS tape. On the otherhand - I love Gene Kelly movies. What an incredible dancer. Singing in the Rain I can watch over and over -an actual musical with a decent story.
