In Which I Come to Meghan McCain’s Defense… Sort Of

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Politico must feel it has a delicious little story of media feuding to report upon. Recently Meghan McCain shook her head in amazement that President Obama would stoop so low as to appear on a Ryan Seacrest show. Seacrest has shot back at McCain snarking that McCain herself tried to get on his show, so […]

 

Is Obama Reference in ‘Megamind’ a Sign of Hollywood’s New Stripes?

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

Anyone going to see the new DreamWorks animation film Megamind this weekend will notice something interesting midway through. There are actually people in Hollywood who will mock President Obama’s campaign, showing “No, You Can’t” signs that represent the “Yes, We Can” signs that were plastered all over college campuses and hybrid vehicles two years ago.

Stephen Fry Proves That Women Don’t Like Sex

Posted on by Dave Blount

How does Britain’s Stephen Fry know that women don’t like sex? Because if they did, they would behave like his fellow homosexuals: ‘If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas,’ he said. ‘Women would go and hang around in churchyards thinking, […]

 

“Avatar” Sequels Promise To Recruit More Eco-Terrorists

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

Sequels are a big risk in Hollywood, especially when they are driven by ideology. Sure, some franchises can carry their audience through multiple films, but not all of them are Harry Potter. Many of the best filmmakers working today such as Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, David Fincher and Christopher Nolan have been […]

Jammie Wearing Fool brought to our attention the weird’o story Mrs Quaid begged a Canadian immigration adjudicator not to force her to return, saying friends, such as actors David Carradine and Heath Ledger, have been ‘murdered’ under mysterious circumstances. ‘We feel our lives are in danger,’ she said. ‘Randy has known eight close friends murdered […]

 

5 Bad Omens for the Left’s Prospects in November

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

It’s become apparent as of late that the Left has a new obsession. Christine O’Donnell’s dabbling in witchcraft in high school and her 1995 stance against masturbation (when she was a conservative activist) have truly captivated her critics. Whether it’s Bill Maher, Maureen Dowd, Richard Cohen, or Frank Rich, all the Left can talk about […]

Actors Union Acting a ‘Bully Boy’ Over Aussie Lord of the Rings Sequels

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unions are the scourge of Middle Earth, or at least the upcoming filmed version of Tolkien’s Hobbit set in that mythical land, anyway. Peter Jackson, heir to the Tolkien legacy on film, is trying to produce a two-part Hobbit film but the local actors union is standing athwart him Sauron-like and casting its evil union […]

Stadium Deal in LA a Moneypit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Whenever I think of this new Staples sports stadium deal going down in Los Angeles I can’t help but think of the “bread and circuses” that contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire. Here is the City of L.A. sinking millions into this entertainment project leaving the people destitute and all for what? After […]

 

New Film ‘Machete’: Cynical Exploitation of America’s Racial Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The new film Machete is born of a joke. No, really. In 2006 when Quentin Tarantino was gearing up for his double feature movie experience Grindhouse, he solicited other directors and even the fans to make fake trailers for bad 70’s exploitation moves. These trailers were shown between the two features in a takeoff of […]

 

Only Post-Consumer Toilet Paper May Touch Sheryl Crow’s Behind

Posted on by Dave Blount

When pop star Sheryl Crow called on Americans to save the polar bears by using only one square of toilet paper, the response was deafening laughter. Crow quickly retreated behind the highly unlikely “I was just kidding” defense. Maybe she should drop the singing and go into stand-up. Here she is joking again, via The […]

 

It’s The End of Days: A Hanna Montana Tribute Act??

For a Sunday headshaker, My Chicago friend Pat Hickey has alerted us to a catastrophe of Biblical proportions. The Seventh Seal is broken, he says. Why is it the end of days?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may recall that early in the morning of July 28 of 2006 actor Mel Gibson was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Los Angeles, California. During that arrest, it was reported that Gibson was alleged to have launched into a brief but vehement denunciation of Jews that were “responsible for all […]

 

New Captain America Movie: Dear America, I’m Just Not That Into You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few months ago I wrote an expose on Marvel’s Captain America comics number 602 in which the writers and artists of the book portrayed Captain America saying that Tea Party groups in America are racist and dangerous. It looks like the makers of next year’s Captain America movie in Hollywood have taken that Cappy-against-America […]

Michael Moore Caught Stealing Others’ Work

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Filmmaker Michael Moore, famed for his propagandistic left-slanted portrayals of America in such films as Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Sicko, is under fire for lifting the work of a writer from the Knoxville News Sentinel and reposting it on his own site in total despite that copyright laws disallow such a practice.

Paul McCartney Supports Obama’s Mishandling of Oil Spill

Posted on by Dave Blount

Given that he has not only done next to nothing to fulfill his duties and protect the Gulf Coast from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but has actually exacerbated the crisis by shutting down drilling and presiding over a bumbling bureaucracy that has prevented the competent from using skimmers and sand berms, it’s hard to […]

 

Princess Leia Found Her Darth Vader: It’s You and Me

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, she’s a former alcoholic, drug addict, washed up actor, shock therapy patient (no, really) and one-time princess to the universe, but now Carrie “Princess Leia” Fisher can add one more calumny to her long list of off-kilter, personality deficits: she’s a “teabagger” hater. So, she’s got that going for her, which is nice. Hawking […]

 

Sir Paul McCartney, Deep as a Thimble

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What is it with these left-wing entertainers that have to insult people while they accept their dubious awards? Why can’t these lefties just graciously accept an award and go about their business without going out of their way to let the world know about their politics? But once again, this time with Paul McCartney, we […]

 

Liberal Fascism: The Font

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

In a way, Helvetica is the font of liberal fascism; it’s certainly the font of corporatism. To borrow from one of the concluding memes of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, it’s the softer authoritarian nanny state of Brave New World, not the oppressiveness militarism of 1984.

 

How Hollywood Maligns The Right

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We all know of the great slights that Hollywood deals out to the American right. We see them all the time. From the TV shows that casts Republicans as villains, the movies that make Christians out to be hypocrites or even outright evil. Traditional motherhood and fatherhood also find constant ridicule at the hands of […]

No, I am not making that up. He really does. Go read for yourself. Bookworm has more about this new, abhorrent precedent we’ve set up in America: There are a couple of points I want to make about this whole embarrassing debacle – embarrassing for Comedy Central, which shows that it’s offensive only when it’s […]

Andrew Breitbart appeared at an awards ceremony in Chicago on Friday the 16th and one of his remarks was that Hollywood is “40 years into the left injecting bad into America.” To counter the bad, Breitbart urged us all to remind each other what is good in our great nation.

Camelot and its Discontents: Mad Men on DVD

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

I have a lengthy (and spoiler-packed, for better or worse) review of the third season of Mad Men (now out on DVD) over on the Pajamas’ main page. Topics discussed include the show’s slightly skewed politics and history of the Kennedy-era 1960s, amongst other things.
