13 More hacked emails released. Think this one shows you what stand-up guys they have in Hollywood:

The email is from executive Michael Lynton, who suggests that in the

future, Sony shouldn't hire black actors like Denzel for leads in films.

The argument Lynton makes is that the rest of the world is "racist"

and they don't want to see black actors in lead roles, so every time

they cast someone like Denzel in The Equalizer, their foreign box
office is going to sink. Thus, they shouldn't hire black actors for
lead roles, obviously. About Denzel specifically, Lynton wrote:

"He's
reliable at the domestic [box office], safe, but has not had a huge
success in years. I believe whenever possible the non event pictures,
extra 'bets' should have a large inherent upside and be made for the
right price. Here there isn't a large inherent upside...believe that the
international motion picture audience is racist - in general pictures
with an African American lead don't play well overseas."

Courage!

18 it seems the press and all search engines are embargoing the information that Jessica Hollie aka Bella Eiko, a renown Ferguson Protestor and Community Organizer from Oakland CA, drove into a crowd of church goers killing 3 and injuring 9 more. She is being tested for being under the influence. She killed an 81 year old and an 87 year old as they left Christmas services.

24 Yikes. DC got an email that is basically crazy girl in a nutshell.

Exclusive Email: UVA Student Pondered Doing 'Anything' To Get Friend To Like Her
Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC 16m
"When you like someone more than he likes you, you'll do anything to switch the scales."

dailycaller.com/2014/12/18/what-uva-student-jackie-wrote-in-email-about-friend-she-liked/

The email forwarded to Duffin, titled "about u," is bizarre for several reasons.

As Duffin has said in interviews, he found it strange that the man who Jackie claimed had been involved in her rape just days before would be sending him an email -- especially one of that nature.

Even more strange -- as the Rolling Stone article has been debunked, it has come to light that Monahan likely does not exist.

'Yes, especially when we see so many pics today of military dogs mourning their fallen masters.'

There is an organization out of Texas that rescues dogs in combat zones through donations, reuniting many dogs with their caregivers. These are not usually military dogs per se, but dogs taken onto bases by soldiers and contract workers, that end up in many instances being life-savers non the less.

41 Ashe Schow is pretty spectacular. Her mind too.

She wrote an article making a great point, which is that California law not only institutionalizes "yes means yes" but it means that the female can declare rape at any point in the process (including after the fact?), and the male is defenseless. Worse, Senator Gillibrand thinks this approach has enough merit that she may federalize the rule.

Dogs in Muslim countries are the lowest of the low, and street dogs the worst off, constantly abused and chased and shouted at, scavenging to live.

When those poor little mutts encounter non-Muslim Westerners who actually like dogs, they become ultra-loyal and intensely protective of their new human friends.

62 So... am I alone in finding Gabe's column at the Federalist (attacking Milo Y's column at Breitbart, natch) very, very silly?

On top of the very odd criticism that Milo is "culturally out of touch" (what?), he seems to be engaged in... I dunno, it's like he's trying to engage in a "gayer then though" contest with Milo.

He basically says that, even if your readers beg you to do an review, you shouldn't do it if you... don't like something? If the product is "inclusive"?

It's just so weird. It reads like one of those "back on the plantation" columns that you see liberal blacks direct towards conservative blacks.

Yep. My son said their convoy left a village and the end vehicle radioed that a poor mutt was chasing the convoy. Chased them for quite a while. Sad.

67 >>Movies are a business, and as distasteful as it is, it's perfectly

I agree, generally. However, Hollywood makes all sorts of bad business decisions based on their progressive interests. Like just about every war movie - all of those stinkers where the US soldiers are deranged, damaged, killers - that typically fail to clear $1 million at the box office. Same goes for all of those Christian hit-job indies that don't make anything. If they were really all about the bottom line they would be making more pro military movies (that actually make money) and respectful religious movies (that actually make money). When they make their crappy, ideological stinkers they claim the mantel of "artists" and when they make racist decisions the claim "business". Sort of a clown nose on, clown nose off routine.
Anyone think the Michelle-Barack love story will make money?

Was in the car this morning and had Beck on (I KNOW, I KNOW) briefly
and heard him say the woman who asked Mooch to reach something in the
Target is the wife of a...wait for it...MSNBC producer. The wife and
husband are also big Obama supporters.

So the whole thing may have been a set up to try to show Mooch's "helpful/selfless" side.

93 Just got an E-mail from the regional manager. Tomorrow he's sending out the "First Call" sheet, a listing of basketball broadcast assignments for the next 2 months. From what I can tell, there are now about twenty available games (already sponsored/paid for) and another twenty or so "maybes". My hope is to get more than five games out of the twenty definite ones, I'd like more, but I'm not going to get greedy, I'm still the FNG.

The entire article was a bit off. Though, Milo's article was also strange, until you realized it was an attempt at comedy. Milo pans DA:I in the text, and then gives it an 8.8.

There are indeed technical problems with the game, and the art could give more personality to the characters. The DRM, of course, it complete crap, and Bioware would have been better off to drop their grudge against Steam and just let Steam handle it.

But, Gabe obviously wasn't in on the joke. The anti-gay remarks by openly gay Milo should have been a tip off.

138 Denzel Washington shot Inside Man in NYC. The bank heist scene was shot kitty corner from my office and made it hell getting into and out of my office and screwed with teh local businesses, which had to be closed during the shooting (though i believe they received compensation). Denzel was the only actor thoughtful enough to give each business affected by the shoot an autographed picture. That may not seem like much, but none of the other actors, including Jodie Foster, did not give a rat's butt for the local businesses.

I liked his Man on Fire. Have seen much of his other recent stuff, including Inside Man.

179 All in all, I thought Shadow of Mordor has better art in every respect.

**********

It's a beauty, definitely. Although neither hubby nor I have been able to really get into playing it. It's gorgeous to look at but we're just not having fun. At all.

183 Hammer! Looks like someone brought a lance to a Peacemaker fight! The machine-gun carnage scene in "Connecticut Yankee" leaves an impression. What a pain in the ass it must have been to have Twain around. Could have been worse: Bierce. Did I mention, my grandfather was Twain's "bootlegger"?

It's just me I'm sure, but I found "Crimson Tide," in full, to be a very anti-military movie. Despite the good parts, and I'm a sub-movie fan. It showed the US military as a bad-attitude short fuse ready to go off, and its officers all nuts. DW, of course, played Obama. Just ask Obama.

Gabe gotta Gabe. If you don't like current movies, just abandon the field. Then sit up all night bitching about the English Dept being full of commies. How dat happen? One in a while someone has to comment on the Emperor's wardrobe. When the nation was kinda-sorta straight arrow and the critics were all leftists, it was all "No In Thunder."

184 "166
A woman asked me for help getting some detergent off a shelf just last
Sunday! Next time that happens I'm just going to call her a racist and
move on. I've learned my lesson: No way I help again.

Posted by: MTF at December 18, 2014 11:50 AM (LISuA)"

That is correct. Helping other people is racist and undermines government authority. There should be a federal government employee present to get things on the high shelves.

188 I liked Denzel Washington in "Flight." Scary accurate portrayal of addiction.

189 OT, but of interest to some:

The Navy's freshwater carriers, USS Sable and USS Wolverine.

193 >>UPS is killing my day.

We had a delivery from chocolate Santa yesterday. 15 minutes later the neighbor received a delivery from different UPS truck. The drivers must have waved to each other on their way out of the neighborhood.

194 Spengler (sidebar David Goldman article) makes a great point about how silly libtards have become. Imagine a painting of the Three Wise Men standing around a crèche. Formerly the title would be "Adoration" or something appropriately Christmas-like. In libtard America, it's "What Gender Will It Become?"

Based on the ridiculous assumption that the employee would actually, you know, work.

In Hollyweird that could mean that Republicans should not necessarily be shot on sight.

My UPS knows better than to leave it on the truck. Usually he'll call so I can meet him up on the Highway as he gets into his delivery zone.

203 One dark and stormy evening a knight in armor knocked on the door of a rural inn. The innkeeper admitted him and heard his tale of woe. In the midst of battle the knight had been unhorsed, and had made his way to the inn on foot while the battle raged on. "I need a horse so I can rejoin the forces on the field of honor", the knight exclaimed, "Can you provide me with one?"

The innkeeper declined, having no serviceable mounts in the stables.

"How about that St. Bernard in the corner? He looks sturdy and quite big enough for my purposes!" the knight said.

"Oh heavens no," the innkeeper said. "I wouldn't dream of sending a knight out on a dog like this!"
