you all should do yourselves a favor and get the disc of this film so you can watch it with the commentary. listening to rdj and val kilmer titter through the bar scene (native american joe pesci, punk rock steven segall, etc) is a gift you can give yourself over and over again this xmas

A correction:

KKBB was directed by Shane Black

LKGN was directed by Renny Harlin- a former Mr Geena Davis I believe.

The dumbassviewpoint next to every other one is the real diversity, the bothsides, the fairandbalance.

My National Parks visitation plan for next year: go on MLK day and Juneteenth, arranging the timing to have a massive bowel movement in a pit toilet, and for which I use (compostable) pictures of Donald Trump to wipe my ass.

Happened to catch a glimpse the the Trump Center awards and it looked like a stage full of misfit toys. Used up misfit toys.

They said kids shouldn't get asbestosis, but here's almost living proof they were wrong, we love seriously damaged lung tissue, don't we folks? We're coughing up more blood than anybody has ever seen, believe me. Robert, and I will say this, Louis Stevenson had nothing on this.

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

Daniel, you're entirely too good at this. How do you manage to loosen your associations enough to sound like Trump? WD-40? Booze?

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

And there's coal. We love coal. Clean coal, they say, it's clean coal and better than wind which causes cancer and solar. I love minors. Then they have this thing - have you heard of this? - they call it Black Lung. It's DEI, folks, and we're not going to pay for it with tax dollars.

I am dealing badly with some very bad news.

It's "confronting the reality of mortality" news, and I am not going home, though I should, where there is vodka in the fridge and whisky not there and brandy gathering a suitable layer of dust and some walnut liqueur thing my landlady gave me for Christmas last year.

I am not going to handle this well.

It's something that has happened to the father of a friend, and I am glad I can help said friend but it is making me, you know, think about things. And I am not doing it well.

DV Thrombossa Nova's avatar

And the worst part is that no matter where you go there's a reminder of the situation, much like when you buy a new car and then see the exact one every-goddamn-where. I'm sorry for you and your friend and hope everyone involved will find peace.

TerseNurse's avatar

I'm sorry my friend. Let me know if there is anything I can do, or if you want to talk.

Daniel's avatar

Thank you kindly.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

I don't handle it well, either.

Hang in there.

Daniel's avatar

Texted mum and dad saying "I love you", both immediately replied "I love you too, are you ok?".

It's easy to do "I've been taken hostage" code when you're English.

Babe Paley's avatar

I am sorry, dear Daniel. It’s okay to have that time of terror, though I hate it for you.

I am sorry about everything and send you the love you know you always have from me.

Daniel's avatar

Grazie.

I knew this week had gone too well.

EyeQueue's avatar

I'm so sorry. :(

Daniel's avatar

I feel like I am coasting on my friend's bad news, because what has happened has not happened to me. I am going to do what I can for him, and bury my own anxieties as much as I can.

EyeQueue's avatar

Your reactions are understandable, though. Peace to you and your friend.

Daniel's avatar

Thank you. I just need to dwell on this away from my friend, help him however I can, and talk to my parents.

freakishlystrong's avatar

Glad to hear you know what you need, and are doing it.

Daniel's avatar

One of the joys of my google books wishlist is that I entirely forget what I've put on there when I get a notification that it's getting discounted by, like, 87%.

So now I have a 1000 page book that is part 3 in a trilogy examining the culture of heroic violence in the US through the lens of the western for £1.99.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Seems like a bargain until the tariff kicks in.

Shocktreatment's avatar

Can't afford not to!

VasyaCognito's avatar

Donnie! Get these agreements in writing! It should be there in "The Art of the Deal", somewhere!

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

See, Assmouth reaches across the aisle and we repay him with ingratitude. We must be as horrible as he always says we are.

freakishlystrong's avatar

But we "rig" elections, right Felonious Fink?

Lexicon Devil's avatar

They freedomize them.

EyeQueue's avatar

Just purely disgusting and we are sitting right here watching it and nothing is being done about it.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

The American people don't have any reliable recourse to do much of anything at the moment. And our congresscritters, who should be yelling and screaming about this shit daily, seem disinclined to do much, either.

EyeQueue's avatar

We need organized resistance. Our so-called leaders are shit at this, apparently.

Vileaxxe's avatar

Wow. That is so gross. What I just took out of the litter box is less gross.

Free beach's avatar

Everything is for sale.

Shallow state's avatar

Well, everything that's not being outright stolen.

Oy!'s avatar

Stallone has always been an asshole, same for 'KISS' but Gloria Gaynor? Sad.

IvoryRabbit's avatar

Made me feel bad, too. I met her once, and she seems very nice.

Shallow state's avatar

I think the throughline for Gaynor is evangelicalism. For a good person to do evil things, yada, yada, yada..

Teen Laqueefa's avatar

Aren't they pretty much all has-beens?

Tecolote's avatar

She made statements against gays getting married, so homophobia qualified her.

EyeQueue's avatar

Ok, I had her carved out as one of the possible exceptions in my comment below. Sounds like I was wrong. :(

Shocktreatment's avatar

The hair replacement industry is well represented

Free beach's avatar

She’s been a republican donor for years.

EyeQueue's avatar

Is she a Trumper?

Lexicon Devil's avatar

Because god told her to as i read

Why is the Kennedy Center honorees getting their awards at the Oval Office and not the Kennedy center? Is Trump too sick to travel?

R. Riddle's avatar

Seriously, though, the Kennedy Center Honors event has always been about the honorees, with colleagues and admirers of the honorees talking about their work and performing.

The staff of the Demented Rapist Felon knew full well that they couldn't get anyone to attend and talk about these honorees. And they knew that the Narcissistic Pedophile would want the whole thing to be about himself. Thus, the Oval Office presser where the honorees show up to kiss the ass of the Toddler Fascist.

Shocktreatment's avatar

The Iron Man of the golf c̶a̶r̶t̶ course? Immobile due to illness?

Unpossible! The rumors that he doesn't want to stray too far from the toilet just now are definitely not true...

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

You know, having bowel problems is a bit disgusting, but it's not an indication of character. Urinary incontinence, too. They are physical health problems. Other old farts, perfectly sterling folks such as I, sometimes face such inconvenience. Trump's real problems are psychopathy and senility, and being a total asshole.

Shocktreatment's avatar

I am golden ager, aging not quite to the golden standard myself, still I can not take such things seriously

RocktonSam's avatar

Door frames at the WH are large enough for Gene Simmons head

Daniel's avatar

Trump's arse is big enough for his tongue.

EyeQueue's avatar

LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

helenasgarden's avatar

We could have supplied a tumbrel to get him there.

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

The tumbrel industry may soon take off. Get in on the ground floor!

EyeQueue's avatar

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EyeQueue's avatar

It's pathetic. And the choice of honorees with few exceptions is, IMO, dumb.

Lexicon Devil's avatar

Whoever would keep it. There will always be asterisks.

Daniel's avatar

And they'll form a ligne claire between the deserving and nondeserving.

Free beach's avatar

To accentuate that it’s a political award now.

R. Riddle's avatar

Because subjects must go to the King's palace to receive honors.

schmannity's avatar

"Term-limited Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has reportedly been floated as a replacement after he leaves office in mid-January. CNN previously reported Youngkin “expressed more interest in an economic or business portfolio, rather than one focused on immigration” but would still be “excited by the prospect” of any Cabinet post."
