I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to the death my right to make fun of you for saying it.

Schumer: ball’s in your court
Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain
Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls
Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families
Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

"You think I want to jack this rip?"
That's what Matt Damon says in THE RIP. He says it twice in a row to make sure we heard him.

Reader, I confess, that is what I thought. I thought he wanted to jack the rip.

"Je t'aime ... moi non plus" is a foreign-language song that's a banger in at least two ways. I just recently learned that Gainsborg made it into a movie in 1976, English title "I Love You, I Don't" or "I Love You, Me Neither."

The heights are wuthering again, folks. They're wuthering at levels you've never heard of. These are the most wuthered heights America has seen.

Funny thing about all the pans of the Bad Bunny show is that they were written on Friday.

I feel like everyone knows that dumb things are being said on Twitter. I don't think it's necessary to keep going there and bringing back proof. Let us know if anything changes, maybe.

Sigourney should be playing Ripley in that Star War she's in. I don't care that she's in the future in our galaxy and the Star Wars are a long time ago in another galaxy. That's what they pay the nerds to figure out.

I love that the new Spielberg trailer has shots of people making "Spielberg face" — looking upward in awe and wonder — with the modern addition that they're all holding their phones up, too.

DRACULA (2026): Prologue is set in 1480, then jumps to "400 years later," so approximately 1880. But a character calls a phonograph a "gramophone," a word that wasn't coined (as a trademark, actually) till 1887. Zero stars.

It rules that these guys who are the most unlikable jerks on earth are also the guys whose only goal in life is to be liked. I love that for them.

I saw an anti-ICE protest on a freeway overpass in the aptly named American Fork, Utah, today, with as many American flags as signs. The flag is being reclaimed! You love to see it.

I really liked Luc Besson's Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's DRACULA. It's faithful to the novel in many ways but has some of its own ideas too, with Christophe Waltz as a priest who stands in for Van Helsing. Caleb Landry Jones is creepy, including in this movie.

Usually when someone is a jerk and you say, "You're being a jerk," and they say, "TRIGGERED MUCH???," it's a boy doing it, but I just saw a lady doing it! A lady troll! Women really can do anything.

Two things made me laugh very hard on the new Muppet Show special:
Piggy: "... whomst I'm tornst betweenst"
The news anchor: "A thing fell on her and made her be alive again."
High-quality Muppet material, with less annoying canned laughter than the original show.

I want to see more of this energy (making fun of Super Bowl ads and the people who love them)
Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

The best our local pro-Trump newspaper (owned and operated by the LDS Church) can muster is the occasional "tsk tsk" editorial from someone who will continue to support him anyway. This lady, their flagship writer, doesn't live in Utah and is one of only a few non-Mormons who write for this paper.
