It’s okay to feel a little trepidation before going to see The Peanuts Movie. After all, it was only a couple of months ago that the powers that be decided what the world really needed was a Muppets television show full of penis jokes and pessimistic cruelty. If the folks entrusted with Jim Henson’s creations were willing to submit Kermit and Fozzy to that kind of butchery, why should Charlie Brown and Snoopy be any safer? Well, let those trepidations slide away, because, to paraphrase Charles M. Schulz, happiness is a film about a warm puppy. The best way...

Kelly used the foot massage reference to ridicule GOP hopefuls only to have her own oversized ego massaged Oh, but to be a fly on the wall on what the New York Times calls her “cavernous set” at Fox News when makeup and hair stylists are primping Megyn for The Kelly File. One can only imagine the hissy fits when things don’t go Megyn’s way.

Clowns Here was my favorite headline of the week: ‘Shell-shocked’ CNBC staffers had long flight home Good. I hope they’re having a long and horrible week too. When you’re trusted with directing something as serious as a presidential debate, and instead you beclown yourself as these fools did, you don’t deserve any rest. But this goes to a more fundamental problem about presidential debates in general, especially but not exclusively primary debates. When and why did we buy into the notion that debates must be led and directed by journalists prompting the participants with questions? Indeed, why do journalists get...

Speaks slowly so Chuck Todd can understand It’s not easy making a worthwhile point when you go on Meet the Press, because you have to answer questions from Chuck Todd, who never asks you about anything worthwhile. But Speaker Paul Ryan did a pretty good job regardless in his appearance yesterday. Conservatives opposed to Ryan because immigration is their number one issue and they think Ryan is a pro-amnesty sellout will be pleased to know - I think, you never know with them - that Ryan vowed there will be no comprehensive immigration reform taken up by the House as...

In summary, I thought the so-called debate was no more than a “Cage-Match” promoted by CNBC, owned by NBC, a division of Comcast and one of the nation’s leading liberal networks You know, as the sun set on Wednesday night, October 28th, I realized that my night was, potentially speaking, full of great things to watch on T.V., all of which had the makings of a very entertaining evening. A lot there to choose from, I should say. There was that first game of baseball’s World Series, between the N.Y. Mets and the Kansas City Royals; there was my long-awaited...

GOP candidates face a firing squad manned by leftist journalists The Republican presidential candidates’ debate on CNBC wasn’t so much a debate as it was a firing squad manned by left-leaning journalists. Over and over journalistic equivalents of, “When did you stop beating your wife?” were asked of the candidates. The reporter-moderators weren’t just asking questions: they were prosecuting the candidates at a televised show trial. Personal attacks were disguised as questions. (Here is a transcript of the at times boisterous 10-way main debate, along with a transcript of the four-way undercard debate that preceded it.)

The stars of Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead – Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and Jill Marie Jones – walk the red carpet at the premiere held at the TCL Chines Theatre on Wednesday (October 28) in Hollywood. The show’s star Lucy Lawless was also there, as well as Black Sails‘ Zach McGowan, to celebrate the new series. In the highly anticipated series, Bruce reprises his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. Catch the premiere on...

Lowering the boom If you watched last night’s debate, you witnessed the media at its absolute worst. The debate moderators were combative, biased, insulting, and agenda driven. Their questions were mostly designed to get candidates yelling at each other (a strategy that didn’t really work) and they often stemmed from faulty research. In short, it was a long, embarrassing, night for left-wing talking heads. The fun part was that, almost from the outset, the terrible questioning united the candidates against the moderators rather than pitting them against each other. Eventually the whole thing devolved into a bizarre display where CNBC’s...

Instead of cowering in fear of the media, it appears that a number of the GOP candidates are fighting back, and calling them out. It wasn’t the first time, but it felt like a turning point. It’s about time While the media focus on which of the candidates did well, and which didn’t, they overlooked the biggest loser of the night: the media. Whether intended or not, the difference in the questioning of the Democrats in their October 13 CNN debate versus the questioning of the Republicans in their three debates so far proved to be an issue that boiled...

Tune out reality television networks into the reality of your own life. Tune in to God, country, family, friends. Don’t tune in to propagandizing television networks, or the self-important bone-picking talking heads the day after in the first place The propagandizing television networks of western nations are both manufacturing and controlling the outcome of national elections. Britain’s Daily Mail who claim last night’s CNBC hosts “progressively” lost control of the event, got it 100 percent wrong. CNBC’s handling of the Republican presidential debate was premeditated and CNBC deliberately lost control in order to make it appear that only Democrats are...

British journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan published an article via Daily Mail Online on Monday, calling for an end to “this PC nonsense” regarding backlash facing actor Sir Roger Moore for his recent remarks on the “true” character of James Bond. Morgan's “favorite James Bond” Sir Roger Moore, 88, has come under fire for saying that the 007 character originally created by author Ian Fleming should never be gay or female. […] In his piece, Morgan defends Moore and argues that changing Bond’s gender or sexual orientation would fundamentally transform “the whole tone of the franchise.” …

Newhart (1982-1990) -Please forgive me but I actually like Bob Newhart's second major sitcom series -at the Stratford Inn in Vermont- more than the first 'shrink' series with Mary Tyler Moore, as good as that one was. In fact I think the 80s series Newhart is one of the most underrated comedy shows ever- watched it every week with friends when they were new, too funny. Interestingly, all 184 shows are -here- on this YouTube playlist. Cheers -This would probably make everybody's list, but honestly I never go back and watch them anymore... too much saturation I guess, and it just doesn't...

Silence! As I was reading this, the question that came to my head was this: How many liberal activist groups these days are anything more than nuisance groups - people who basically just # very loudly when someone says something they think they can portray as outrageous, or even just when someone on the other side of the spectrum shows up somewhere, and that gives them something to yelp about? It seems to me that MoveOn.org crossed that line long ago, if they were ever on the other side of it in the first place. This is classic. Donald Trump...

October 18, 2015 Donald Trump Appears On Fox News Sunday – The Customary Pundit Heads Explode… by sundance When Donald Trump appears on any Fox broadcast two predictable things happen now. First, he’s questioned to paint him into a corner on various issues – they’re looking for headlines. Second, the Fox pundit class lose their collective minds because Marco Rubio and Jebbie are being defeated by this vulgarian. First the interview:CLICK Then comes the predictable ‘splodey heads (led by George Will): CLICK

In todays article I've assembled a mountain of, hopefully, illuminating material from a wide range of films that cover the whole gamut, from silent era trick shots, various travelling mattes and the variations therein, split screens, optical manipulations, twin effects and of course lots of great effects animation, all from a wide variety of films, some classics and some way at the other end of the spectrum. A number of frames have been collected from high resolution BluRay sourses so they look better than ever. So with that I hope you enjoy this selection.

"Guns — we're here to stay." Saturday Night Live took aim at the gun control debate with numerous segments throughout this weekend's episode. Host Amy Schumer was featured in a fake ad that began with people dealing with important moments in their life, all of which ended up centering on guns....

Thousands of black men, women, and children convened at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for the “Justice or Else” rally to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March on Saturday (Oct. 10). Some celebrities were in attendance including Diddy, Common, J. Cole and Snoop Dogg. Also in attendance at the rally were rappers Jay Electronica, Jeezy, Ty Dolla $ign and Bryshere Gray who plays Hakeem on Fox’s hit show Empire. Rap mogul Russell Simmons and Public Enemy founder Chuck D was also spotted in the crowd. The event was organized by Nation of Islam leader the Honorable...

Though Barry Diller has threatened to flee the country or rebel if Donald Trump becomes president, he’s not packing his bags just yet. Diller is entirely unconvinced that Trump, whom he calls a mean, “self-promoting huckster,” will ever make to the White House. The Donald, Barry said, has nothing to offer the voters and no communication strategy, he told Bloomberg. All he has proven to the country is that he’s a “nasty, mean person” who struck a note with similarly-minded people and whose only talent is making noise to make a buck. “I don’t think it’s got anything to do...

Fox Sports 1’s marketing of Saturday’s Mexico-United States Concacaf playoff game fired up American fans in an unintended way Friday with a promotional commercial using comments made by Donald J. Trump on the presidential campaign trail as a way to lead cheers for the United States national team.(VIDEO-AND-TWEET-AT-LINK)The video was promoted as a response to an earlier TV Azteca ad that used Trump’s words as a way to promote Mexico in the game. But Fox’s choice of Trump to promote the United States team seemed, at best, questionable. He has built his campaign for president around anti-immigration positions, especially those...
