I’m very much looking forward to that.

Churchill...the King of the Un-Politically Correct!

(I am a major Churchill-O-Phile...)

.every single time I looked at him, all I could see was “Dumb and Dumber”!

And I bet I know which scene from Dumb and Dumber.

[katana]

Yes, he's Canadian.

I am not at all sure the word he referred to is quite that long.

[EdnaMode]

Thanks for the info.

[tumblindice]

Seth’s a twat all right, but I’m not sure he’s a big enough twat to play Uncle Wally, gasbag extraordinaire.

[morphing libertarian]

Not familiar with the movie. Just trying to be a smart ass.

For a large part of the afternoon, all three networks were relying upon reporting of wire service and newspaper reporters for real news, and basically reading their copy on the air.

[rlmorel]

LOL, okay, you got me.

Don’t watch it.

[RinaseaofDs]

You and me both.

The indispensable figure of the 20th century. Mother Theresa and Margaret Thacher tie for the women’s division.

What the Hell has happened to Rogen?

He was HILARIOUS in 40-year-old Virgin. I even liked him in The Green Hornet, Knocked Up, and The Interview.

Now all of a sudden he's this social justice d-bag.

Your picture isn't goofy enough.

But maybe what we're talking about is different ways of being goofy.

Old Walter was losing a lot of his marbles in his last years.

[EdnaMode]

Wow, that’s very interesting. Times have changed a lot since then.

I must say, I saw the movie “Sausage Party”, and while there were some parts I found funny, it degenerated to the point the last third of the movie was disgustingly pro-homosexual and by the time it ended, my opinion of the movie had changed significantly in a negative way.

Seth Rogan's movies, if you removed the profanity and gratuitous nudity, would last about 5 minutes. The dude's a no talent hack.

[rlmorel]

Of course, now I understand the phrase “sausage party” but I was clueless at the time.

I admit to enjoying ribald and raunchy or profane humor as the mood fits me, but this crossed far over the line into political statement, indoctrination and advocacy.

For an animated, comedic feature, I cannot think of a worse mistake to make.

When I was staying at my nephew’s and late one night after the kids were in bed, he, his wife and I watched Sausage Party on I think Netflix.

You have to understand that none of us are prudes and enjoy some “adult” and over the top, even a bit gross humor, Team America or Old School for instance. We are all also big fans of GOT.

But Sausage Party was just excruciatingly bad. Not funny at all. My nephew’s wife left the room after about 15 minutes to go fold laundry and after another 5 minutes, my nephew asked me if he could turn it off, and I said, “Please do”.
