Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Armie Hammer was being pushed as an actor before he was completely blacklisted from Hollywood due to #MeToo allegations I never really understood. I know people say he's a "cannibal" because his sexts included stuff like "I want to consume you" but that seems to me to be a case of dirty talk gone wrong.

I have no idea if he should or shouldn't be cancelled. I do know that he's attempting a comeback and that few people will hire him. He's in what appears to be an edgy movie about a vigilante who kills "criminals and those in power who protect them," which is always a taboo kind of movie for Hollywood. It's very low-budget, which you can tell from the movie showing off stuff to make it seem like a big-budget movie, but the stuff they're showing -- like an APC driving down the street -- is relatively cheap to achieve.

Is this some kind of signal that the cultural zeitgeist is shifting against the Regime? I doubt it, because someone is always able to raise a smallish amount of money for this kind of movie. See both the Charles Bronson Death Wish and the underrated Bruce Willis remake. (I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying it's underrated.)

Yes, Death Wish did definitely indicate that the public was moving decisively against liberal indulgence of rampant criminality, but most of these kinds of movies mean nothing. Urban vigilante movies are often popular. Even Jodie Foster did one (and it was pretty decent.)

Still, maybe it's something? I don't know. It'll probably wind up telling us that Those In Power Protecting Criminals are Donald Trump and his friend, Cyborg Jeffrey Epstein.

I know you guys are all huge fans of Olivia Wilde, both as a loudmouthed shrill feminist propaganda director and also a shit actress, as well as never-gets-old Seth Rogan and pompous idiot Ed Norton, so here, enjoy this trailer. Apparently it's about old people being invited by their old neighbors to participate in their orgy.

Feminists constantly use sex to sell themselves. Absolutely constantly. They alternate between scolding men for having a normal, healthy interest in sex and then using sex to hype their projects.

Below: it has a dog so I'm interested.

If there's a kind of movie I'm more sick of than corporate IP slop it's post-apocalyptic zombie slop. And also, Ridley Scott slop. And also, Josh Brolin slop. So here's all that slop in one, so we can get it out of the way fast and move past it.

That trailer made me think "I'm so sick of hearing Nine Inch Nails" despite having not heard them in years. I blame the trailer.

Good environmentalist themes in Whalefall, which teaches us that whales are dangerous predators and must be eradicated before they eat us all.

Yes, it's actually a Jonah-type story and it's kind of intense.

Leftwing extremist propagandist Aaron Sorkin is suddenly against social media now that FaceBook -- the villain here -- isn't quite as compliant with the left's brainwashing agenda as it used to be.

I know, I know -- FaceBook censored people regarding covid. I can assure you that is not what Aaron Sorkin finds problematic. What he's angry about is that Zuckerberg repented for that (or pretended to) and is no longer on Team Brainwash.


I saw this movie reviewed. Film Threat said it was LAME. Past the opening teaser, there's only two characters, so you know they're not going to die, at least until the last ten minutes. They said it was a thirty-minute horror anthology story stretched beyond it's breaking point to be feature-length.

That said, this trailer has a jump-scare that really got me.

The Jessica Chastain "Woke White Woman Tracks Dangerous Far-Right Republicans on the Internet and Reports Them to Their Manger" Apple TV series The Savant, which was delayed due to the assassination of Charlie Kirk -- hey, his assassin wasn't far right at all, was he? -- will finally be released in July, so you have that going for you.

And if that's not woke enough for you:

Yeah he sexted his side piece about eating her and people decided that meant cannibalism. I condemn his cheating on his wife, and all, but... this is somehow unique in Hollywood?

Its pretty obvious that someone wanted him out of the way and I think its because he was insufficiently leftist but a growing star with a bright future. PoundMeToo was never about the women, it was about destroying men so that the radical freaky activist left could take their jobs.

20 Hammer is one sick fuck and deserved to be cancelled if not committed to a looney bin. He texted far more than just "I want to consume you." Here are some of the reported texts, which I don't think he ever denied:

"I am 100% a cannibal…. Fuck. That's scary to admit. I've never admitted that before. I've cut the heart out of a living animal before and eaten it while still warm."

"I want to see your brain, your blood, your organs, every part of you. I would definitely bite it. 100%. Or try to fuck it. Not sure which. Probably both."

"If I fucked you into a vegetative state id keep you, feed you, watch you, and keep fucking you...Till you are so sore and broken…. I can't stop thinking of [fucking] your actual brain."

"Brand you, tattoo you, mark you, shave your head and keep your hair with me, cut a piece of your skin off and make you cook it for me…. Who’s slave/master relationship is the strongest? We'd win. When I tell you to slit your wrists and use the blood for anal."

"Raping you on your floor with a knife against you. Everything else seemed boring. You crying and screaming, me standing over you. I felt like a god. I've never felt such power or intensity."

22 Armey Hammer was in that awful stupid Lone Ranger movie (although I did like the very end where he finally acts like the Lone Ranger and the music starts). But he did Man from UNCLE which was great. He has leading man all over him, terrific voice, great look, real talent.

Now he's forced to do exploitation movies with Uwe Boll because the Hollywood elites hated him.

Exactly. Marina Abromovic is so cozy with Hollywood and politicians. Why?

Pizzagate was another topic I used to dismiss as crazy conspiracy theory. Then I discovered it's not about a pizza parlor but about John Podesta's emails which include Abromovic. And the child-sex art all over the walls of Tony Podesta's home. These people are sick.

Posted by: Mark1971 at June 19, 2026 04:26 PM (CNl8/)
I think it's crap and Tom Cruise is bland and unappealing in it. Tim Curry steals the movie. TC is very very lucky that Top Gun came out around the same time to make him a star. He probably woulda had no career at all if Legend came out on its own.


The point of Legend: LIBs would have you Pity the Devil for Being EVIL.
They secretly admire (and worship) Evil because anyting (even anhilation) is a better outcome than a status-quo that serves no one -- BUT ONLY when they get to take your first.

LIBS: Give them Convenience or Give them Death.
They will alway select "AND".

Sure, the "rape fantasy" is a popular one among some women, but it's not really about a rape. It's about "oh just throw me on the bed and ravish me you big stud." I will guarantee you that in none of those books is the guy literally holding a knife to the lady's throat while he's raping her and she's "crying and screaming."

It was subtle, but in Taken the human traffickers were Albanian muslims and the guy who bought Brian Mills' daughter was clearly some kind of oil sheik or something. The bad guys in The Siege were muslims, though they had to balance it out with the "good muslim" FBI agent and a "the US ARMY is MONSTERS" message in there too.

Yeah Zombies are the weakest and most pathetic of undead. They are notoriously lame and easy to take out. The way you know that's true is that every zombie movie either has to set up the encounter in such a way as to give the zombies every possible advantage, or to redefine "Zombie" as something totally unrelated to the concept.

I want to see a Zombie movie where the humans casually wipe out the slowly shambling, awkward, rotting corpses in the first fifteen minutes, then spend the rest of the movie dealing with the implications of the dead coming to life, what caused it, and what it means to their future.

A spear with a crossbar like the ones used for hunting boars would take down any zombie from TV. A rotting body isn't gonna be that much stronger and people can double or triple up on them. Men didn't rise to the top of the food chain for no reason. Leather armor and shields can defend adequately against weak human bite force.

The house I toured this morning looks like it checks all my boxes. However . . . there is an affordable housing development, for low-income/disabled and Section 8, about a block away. "Driving" around it on Gorgle Maps, I see it looks very respectable, vastly cleaner and better kept than the same kind of places here in Da Swamp -- for one thing, it's in a former school building. I don't see any recent crime reports from the area, and most people who have left 'Net reviews seem to give the development a pretty good rating.

I know what you'll say: "RUN." But is there any way, without visiting, that I could actually find out more about it?

Armie Hammer comes from a prominent, wealthy, and historically controversial dynasty. The Hammer family is best known for their business empires, but the lineage has also been heavily associated with financial scandals and dark secrets. (Some batsh*t nuts in there.)

Armie has been open about the fact that he was cut off and received no inheritance following his father's passing in 2022.

180 I am Legend - Will Smith
Yeah, liked it to but -

I Am Legend came from the groundbreaking 1954 post-apocalyptic horror novel of the same name by American author Richard Matheson. His book laid the foundation for modern vampire and zombie literature by applying a scientific, epidemiological explanation to the classic vampire myth.

The original three cinematic adaptations of Matheson's novel are: The Last Man on Earth (1964) – Starring Vincent Price.The Omega Man (1971) – Starring Charlton Heston.I Am Legend (2007) – Starring Will Smith.

Also, The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959) is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film starring Harry Belafonte as a miner who emerges from a cave-in to find humanity wiped out by a nuclear holocaust, only to encounter a white woman (Inger Stevens) and later a bigoted white man (Mel Ferrer), creating a tense, three-person drama that explores racism and survival in a deserted New York City.

Nurse, I considered doing that, renting for six months in Owensboro, KY. After paying for deposit, pet deposit, rent, pet rent (what a scam), and moving and/or storage, I would be out a lot of funds I could put toward the house. And most places there have no six month option. If you break the lease, you have to pay for the rest of the lease instead of a two-months'-rent exit fee like mine.

True, if I don't like the area I can try again. But I don't feel I have the *time* to spend a year or two or three doing that.

196 Kind of surprised no one has brought up the new Ronald Reagan movie called "Brink of War" which is being dropped in August.

It's about the Iceland Conference between Reagan and Gorbachev. Lefty Loopy Jeff Daniels is portraying Reagan, and the very first trailer has a glaring historical error. They show Reagan suggesting total nuclear disarmament and Gorbachev being reluctant...when it is in fact the other way around. Gorbachev was pushing that framework even prior to the conference because Chernobyle just occurrted three months prior and their infrastructure couldn't hold up while putting all their funds toward nukes. It's how Reagan beat them. "Keeping up with the Jones's" wasn't an option for the USSR.

I'm okay with zombie flicks, especially the first two Romero films. After that, Z-films are pretty spotty: Return of the Living Dead, Versus (low budget Japanese zombies vs Yakuza with side trips into supernatural and scifi time travel), Evil Dead II (the GREATEST FILM EVER MADE), Shaun of the Dead. 28 Days Later comes close, genuinely disturbing/scary, but that film is the root of all the generic Z-films and TV shows afterwards, so it loses points.

Every film student has a Z-film in their minds, but when you have "important" actors doing Z-films, that tells you that the genre has jumped the shark. I mean, even Glenn Close has done a Z-film.

232 Much of those "pizza" and "hotdog" code words that Podesta and others were using to refer to little children (on government email servers) are also found in the Epstein files.

There are even more in the Epstein files about Podesta and his merry little crew that nobody talks about. Its pretty damning stuff. Just... not enough to build a court case over. Enough to make them pariahs forever and a byword for corruption and evil but you can't convict anyone on it.

When the street fighter trailer came on, I asked my kids why the theater was showing the trailer before the same movie and they had the most panicked expressions I have ever seen on their faces, to include when I caught them painting my basement when they were respectively two and four. Mortal Kombat was not horrible and had Karl Urban, which makes it good) and The Sheep Detectives, which is much much better than the book it's based on and was the movie I should have seen on Mother's Day. Delightful. So Hollywood can make good movies, they just don't want to.

303 Thermodynamically unlikely to impossible. And how many corpses are in that short period between death and the point were tendons and muscles have rotted beyond use? It has to be much less than the original living population.

These were SuperZombies.
Haven’t read the books but I’m sure it had some explanation for their speed and strength.

The zombie/vampires (not sure what they are) in I Am Legend were also quick & strong, and they also had some intelligence.

I guess writers need to spice things up for genres that have been around for decades.

Ah, kickball. Well, we are talking about Shit or Garbage, I guess.

The kickball we played in elementary was baseball using those 4 square ball. The pitcher rolled it on the ground and the 'batter' kicked it. The runner was retired by hitting him with the kickball as he ran (as was originally true in baseball).

305 >>> WARSAW, Poland -- Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Friday he will strip Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland's highest state honor over the Ukraine leader's decision to name a military unit after a Ukrainian paramilitary organization accused of massacring Poles during World War II. (Zelenshy being a prick had nothing to do with it)

I think a lot of nation states are no longer a single entity anymore Ukraine, Iran, soon to be Russia, man others. Various entities have different levers of control over different parts like a puppeteer controlling a corpse. But I don't think they are functionally a nation state anymore. Hopefully not this one.

They might not have drained Boston, but they did drain all the pubs. Emergency calls went out for more beer. LOL. Barkeeps were saying they out drank the Irish by 3x.

So do wolves and tigers, and if zombies didn't learn like they did to avoid people then they would be exterminated.

Actually the first class in physics. If you hit them hard enough from the shoulders to the head, you could knock them off their feet.

314 In my fantasy stories, you have to have certain talents to be a magician, and it takes some prep and work for any given spell. And there can actually be inertia involved in certain enchantments!
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 19, 2026 05:25 PM (wzUl9)

In Larry Niven's "The Magic Goes Away" it is even a non renewable resource. You build your floaty castle, at some point the magic in the area is used up and it falls out of the sky. This even became a weapon, a dingus that burned magic quickly just to exhaust the magicians sources.

The local news has been showing clips of Brazilians heaping praise on Philly, saying how friendly and welcoming we've been. It's surreal, lol.

And they love cheesesteaks.

Yes. It makes me feel somewhat bad that they have to go home.

317 Trump on Iran: 60 days, they have to make a deal… otherwise, we will do things that won't make them happy. I don't think it's going to get to that. If we do that then all of a sudden you're not going to have the oil flowing out of the strait…
