Lewis Black once said the economy of the United States is tied to Santa’s ass, and, damn, there’s a lot of truth in that.
You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

This year has been a very specific lesson about doing biopics about marginally at best known combat athletes featuring performers desperate to get awards recognition.
“.. Rolling out a little movie — even with a big star — has become very hard,” says a Hollywood talent agent .. “That’s the death of the independent film business that no one is talking about.”

"Atomic Blonde" îs a great example of when a film's style is its substance.

The exchange between him and Doc about who is President in 2025 would be so much more depressing.
It's extremely hard to process that when Marty McFly traveled from 1985 to 1955, it would be the exactly same as if he traveled from 2025 to 1995.

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

Yes because I'd get tackled into oblivion, fumble the ball, and that would give the defense a first down.
If you had 4 tries to run for a first down in the NFL and you win $10 mil …. Would you be able to do it?? (You can choose your offensive line)

Straight-ticket voting is an incredibly high hurdle for a Democrat in a statewide election. Jones won in 2017 because 1) the only other choice was Roy Moore, who lots of Republicans despised 2) Dems came out in droves 3) GOP turnout was depressed, especially in the Wiregrass.
I thunk if Jones jumps in then you have all the evidence you need the envirownt is hitting near cataclysm for the GOP. Even then he's not favored to win in AL.
Doug Jones won before & if you doubt he can do it again, you’re not paying attention to Alabama.
Tuberville has a record, but so does Jones.
If Jones jumps in, the contrast couldn’t be greater. A real Alabaman who prosecuted a KKK cold case vs Florida man who treats the state like rental property.

Anyways… we made it to Houston a while ago…
Driving 10+ hours and going through places like Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Beaumont before getting to Houston made me feel like I was working for Bill Watts in the Mid-South territory.

Amy, once again, brings the heat.
No bleaker satire than making it through THE RUNNING MAN, past end credits of a raised fist with “Together Against the Network,” to see the words: A Skydance Corporation.
Or maybe there is, if someone makes a documentary about what Edgar Wright may have had to cut.

Review: Edgar Wright's 'The Running Man' limps into theaters too relevant to be any fun
Stephen King’s 1982 techno-dystopian novel no longer feels sci-fi, making this remake trip over its own feet. (It's still better than the Schwarzenegger version.)

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Why is the White House meeting with members of Congress to dissuade them from releasing the Epstein Files *in the Situation Room*?

I can tell you what will happen should Doug Jones enter the governor's race, because we saw it happen in 2020: Tommy Tuberville will go into hiding and count on straight-ticket voting and Alabama's right-wing media to do the work for him.
Johnson: Run, Doug, Run. In a real race, Tommy Tuberville might trip over himself
The former U.S. Senator and Democrat lost to the former football coach in 2020. Same state, but vastly different times.
