Copyright, incentive and freedom

Posted on April 18, 2010April 18, 2010 by Ron Coleman

“Information wants to be free.” I must have mocked those words dozens of times on my blog. : Or a few. : I might be counting the times I just thought that. Either way, that expression is not an argument. It’s a statement of ideological faith. The pro-copyright right has its own religion on this, too. […]

Madonna: Sex Selling Hypocrite

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

I guess as a youngster she was busy designing wacky, risque outfits when she should have been learning the definitions of words, but Madonna — the famed “Material Girl” — uttered a whopper recently misusing the word “irony” when she should have been using the word “hypocrite”… as in what she is. Of course the […]

Hollywood Scripting: A Primer

Posted on April 1, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Some have wondered how Hollywood works. There is the romantic version where a writer of talent writes an outstanding, heartfelt script, a director of vision expounds upon that script and actors with intensity bring it to life. Like much about romance that romantic image of Hollywood is a myth. No, what Hollywood does when it […]

Matthew Modine: Can’t We Just Hug It Out, Osama Bin Laden?

Posted on March 31, 2010March 31, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

Matthew Modine wants to just hang and have a nice rap session with – Osama Bin Laden. No, really. Via Story Balloon (money quote is about 2 minutes in): Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama Bin Ladin and say, “Listen man, what is it that you’re so angry at me about […]

Reporter Silenced on Behalf of Sean Penn

Posted on March 12, 2010 by Dave Blount

Tinseltown totalitarian Sean Penn, a fawning admirer of socialist dictators, has learned from them when it comes to dealing with troublesome journalists: A Yeas & Nays reporter [Tara Palmeri] was publicly berated and threatened to be escorted out by police on Thursday night when the reporter asked actor Sean Penn a controversial question about his […]

Deutschland Deja Vu: The Baader Meinhof Complex

Posted on March 7, 2010March 7, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

Watching The Baader Meinhof Complexâ€™s titular Teutonic terrorist gang in action on the small screen, I was struck by dÃ©jÃ vu of it all. A small but growing band of radicals with a penchant for street theater, wishing to smash capitalism and destroy the system from within, led by a fanatical, brawling leader, with at least one articulate well-bred intellectual within the inner circle. Starting off by blowing up small, bourgeois shops. Eventually hooking up with sympathetic allies in the Middle East. Then killing American soldiers. And when finally cornered, going out in a Gotterdammerung of mass suicide rather than face punishment from their captors. Thatâ€™s never happened in Germany before

Representative Paul Broun is Getting Jersey With It

Posted on March 3, 2010March 3, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

Yesterday, Republican Representative Paul Broun, of Georgia no less, played the Jersey card. He not only invoked Snooki, of the Mtv show Jersey Shore, but also “The Situation.” You go, Pauly! Broun: Snookie has more substance than Obama’s bipartisanship “offer” (Washington, D.C.) U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) released the following statement after President Barack […]

Um, MSNBC is Totally Losing It: Host Screeching About Racists and Nazis

Posted on March 3, 2010March 3, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people – tops – watch his show. However, his behavior, whilst interviewing Mark Williams about Tea Parties, is indicative of how desperate MSNBC and many on the far left have become. Just keep screeching “you want to kill black people. […]

Just Because I Loathe CNN’s Rick Sanchez

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

I dislike Rick Sanchez intensely. Sanchez, like his CNN colleague, Jack Cafferty, was involved in a DUI hit and run, only Sanchez KILLED his victim. Also, he’s an utter ass. Jon Stewart rips him apart here. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c The Uninformant www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes […]

Posted on February 21, 2010February 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Brooke Fox of Seattle’s MOVIN, 92.5 FM radio show “The Ladies Room” wants to know who would be worth risking jail just so you could punch them out. Such violence.

NBC And Olympic Environmentalism, Then And Now

Posted on February 17, 2010February 17, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

NBC reports that the 2010 winter Olympics are being hampered by an overzealous commitment environmentalism. But what did the 2008 summer Olympics think of greener-than-thou NBC deploying outdoor air conditioning(!) to cool their set during the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing?

“The Two Cultures” 50 Years On

Posted on February 14, 2010February 14, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

Whereas once any layman could instantly appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of say, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, or a great classical symphony, in the 20 century, modern art became merely an excuse for the artist and his champion critic to write a treatise explaining the work of art in the first place. But what caused art to become so insular?

Castro Regime Secretly Tapes Hollywood Liberals

Posted on February 12, 2010February 12, 2010 by Dave Blount

Listen to the Hollyweird elite gush with their love of the brutal communist dictator Fidel Castro, who took over a prosperous country and reduced it to a slave state so hellish that people take to shark-infested waters in inner-tubes to escape: Naomi Campbell: “Fidel Castro is a source of inspiration for me! It is a […]

Marvel Comics: Captain America Says Tea Parties Are Dangerous and Racist

Posted on February 8, 2010February 10, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

** UPDATE ** BELOW Marvel Apologizes Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man.

Bump: Abortion as Entertainment

Posted on February 1, 2010 by Dave Blount

It’s official — moonbat civilization has reached rock bottom. Abortion is now the subject of a tacky pseudoreality show that launches online today at BumptheShow.com. The fictional docudrama features characters of varying degrees of vileness toying with the idea of abortion. The audience votes on whether the baby should live. Think Jerry Springer meets Oprah […]

Restrained No More’s — Happy Inauguration, Mr. President

Posted on January 27, 2010February 8, 2010 by Sharise Parviz

Alec Baldwin Reveals Liberal Energy Policy

Posted on January 15, 2010 by Dave Blount

Hollywood played a major role in Chairman Zero’s rise to power, tirelessly hyping him and raising massive amounts of money. It must delight Tinseltown royalty that with their man in power, they can now see their ideology applied. Among the most politically active actors is Alec Baldwin, who even had his own political talk show […]

Oliver Stone Plans to Rehab Hitler’s, Stalin’s Reputations – at the Expense of America’s

Posted on January 10, 2010 by Sister Toldjah

Ugly liberal moral relativism strikes again: TCA — Director Oliver Stone’s upcoming Showtime documentary miniseries “Secret History of America” promises to put mass murderers such as Stalin and Hitler “in context.” “Stalin, Hitler, Mao, McCarthy — these people have been vilified pretty thoroughly by history,” Stone told reporters at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press […]

Guido Beach Meets The Great Relearning

Posted on January 10, 2010 by Ed Driscoll

Tom Wolfe once wrote that “The Great Relearning” — recalling the forgotten common sense that every cultural revolution believes is anathema, “seems to me to be the leitmotif of the twenty-first century in America.”

If so, 21st century America certainly has its work cut out for itself, judging by MTV’s “Jersey Shore” reality show…

The Lameness of Adam Lambert

Posted on November 30, 2009November 30, 2009 by Robert Stacy McCain

Let’s face it, he’s boring — which my latest column at The American Spectator is certainly not: At some point, reasonable people might expect an end to these épater les bourgeoisie gestures, as the bourgeoisie have long since ceased to be shocked by such routine public exhibitions. . . . More than four decades have […]

Those DVD ‘Special Features’ Rarely that Special

Posted on November 29, 2009November 29, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

For some lighter fare today… When DVDs first began to contain those now ubiquitous special features, those mini documentaries, series of interviews, or behind the scenes shoots, it seemed like such an exciting idea, especially for film buffs (or series fans). But now that they have become fairly common and now that I’ve seen a […]

New Hollywood Movie Says Islam Destroyed by 2012!

Posted on November 13, 2009November 13, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Roland Emmerich’s new end-of-the-world disaster film 2012 has a rollicking good time destroying every monument to man’s architectural genius in the world. The Sistine Chapel goes kablooie, as does the Vatican and the giant Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. The White House gets flattened, too. All man’s most well known landmarks get […]

The Wall Must Go

Posted on November 9, 2009November 9, 2009 by Dave Blount

Even self-important left-wing pop stars are good for one thing — comic relief: Irish rockers U2 returned to Berlin for a free mini-concert Thursday in front of the Brandenburg Gate, playing its classic singles and a duet with Jay-Z even as the show was obscured from public view by a nearly 6-1/2-foot (two-meter) high metal […]

I’m Thinking Democrats Are Not Going To Like “V”

Posted on November 4, 2009 by William Teach

So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula. Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology […]

Larry David Urinates on Portrait of Jesus on TV

Posted on October 28, 2009 by Dave Blount

Larry David, husband of High Priestess of the Goracle Laurie David, gave us some insight into the sincerity of liberal “tolerance” on the latest episode of his HBO show “Curb Your Enthusiasm”: During Sunday’s episode, David, who created, wrote and produced “Seinfeld,” visits a bathroom in his assistant’s home and splatters urine on a picture […]

Your Tax Dollars Now Being Used For Grateful Dead Archive

Look, I love the Grateful Dead. I’ve seen them live in Philly (2x), Norfolk (2x), D.C., and Hershey Park. Good time everytime. Even so, this is rather absurd The Grateful Dead Archive has taken another step in its long strange trip, from the UC Santa Cruz library to its own Web site, The Virtual Terrapin […]
