Traitor

You know, I was expecting a lot of negativity and dirty tricks, but to tell you the truth I was completely blindsided by this.
I mean, releasing this movie the day after his big acceptance speech?
It’s a nice picture of him, though.

Stealing America: Vote By Vote

Are you dating someone who is super smoking hot but has a hard time with reality? Because that’s pretty much the only scenario in which you’d find yourself watching a 90-minute movie that is either NPR refugees complaining about electronic voting machines or CNN footage of people standing in a line.
If it’s at all possible, [...]

CSNY: Déjà Vu

There seem to be a lot of people trying hard to make the point that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are just as “relevant” today as they were in their heyday. There is no way on earth that they are talking about musical relevance. It must be something else, or maybe relevance on a much [...]

Nobody wanted to work with Dalton Trumbo and he went running around going “HEY I’m on a blacklist [...]

The best part is where he drags a camera crew into to the most [...]

Stuck

Do you remember when that lady hit that homeless guy with her car and he came halfway through the windshield? And how the lady didn’t do anything to help him? How she just drove home and left him to die in her garage?
It was a tragic example of how people see the less-fortunate as less [...]
