Die Hard 2: Die Harder is also a Christmas movie, and I think it's the best Die Hard sequel. I know a lot of folks are partial to Die Hard With A Vengeance, but to me that one comes off more like a really good Lethal Weapon sequel.

For your year round enjoyment (holidays included), the #MST3K #FrankConniff singer (not plural like the other Conniff singers). I love season 2 and this episode is one more reason why. @frankconniff.bsky.social absolutely kills with this and gets a little help from Trace. 😂💙🎬 #Comedy

One confusing thing about liberal media outlets like the NY Times and CNN is that they're extremely right-wing: open.substack.com/pub/thecolum... by @ahjohnson.bsky.social

In theory Russell Brand is innocent until proven guilty of multiple rape charges, but shouldn't the fact that he's been parading around as a Born Again Evangelical Christian count as a signed confession?

It's A Wonderful Live was a box office disappointment in its day. Now, almost 80 years later, people still dive deep into it and write thoughtful essays like this about it. It's a wonderful and enduring work of art is what it is.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

I fell down a Shangri-Las rabbit hole recently and oh my god they were so good. This kind of adolescent girl group pop that at the time was thought to be here-today-gone-tomorrow has lasted forever.

Pulled a bunch of Billy’s forgotten cat toys out from under the couch, each representing one or two minutes of intense engagement followed by instant, permanent boredom.

I've been a devoted MCU fan. Saw all the movies. Watched all the TV shows. Maybe this will be good. I hope so. But I can't help but feel that I'm just fucking over it.

If you miss groovy local television and analog experiences, you’re gonna wanna go where the action is! More Programme4.tv coming to a switched-on happening near you!

Keep Circulating the Tapes

Taken down, apparently, but it's here too. bsky.app/profile/lopa...

For a long time I avoided this movie. (A film about preppies and debutants? Who cares!) Then when I finally saw it one night it was meant to be a hate watch. But it's so freakin' good, and I've since become a fan of Whit Stillman's entire body of work.

Really? On my timeline? What a shock.

Lots of folks seem to think Bari Weiss fucked up, but in terms of her standing with the Ellisons at CBS, it's like the end of a Bewitched episode where Darrin lands the Henderson account and Larry Tate is pleased and all is well.

This is NYT headline morning after JD’s grotesque hot blast of white supremacist nativism at Turning Point’s hate-fest?!

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

There are totally bad new acts…but that was definitely true while Carlin and Pryor were alive as well! I’d argue there are MORE good comics now than there were then! (No disrespect to the greats of the past!)

Years and years and years of airing Andy Rooney segments complete and uncut, now this? What the fuck.

Many of the "newest" comedy acts you see on TV standup specials are there because they have been touring and working on their acts for years. It's the only way to get good.

I was around back then, and believe me, the older guys said that shit all the time.

A miracle just happened. I like this song now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIw...

Imagine saying this in a world where @mariabamford.bsky.social exists.

Because of the woke left, people have been afraid to say anything other than "Happy Holidays" during this time of year. But now, thanks to the efforts of Trump, Vance, and the GOP, folks are once again comfortable with the more traditional, "Sieg Heil."

When Trump drops dead (hopefully sooner rather than later), let's all party and have a fun, cathartic celebration, but shit ain't gonna change, not as long as this Republican, or ANY Republican, holds power.

The Nick Fury of the Three Stooges.

Alex Jones is calling Candice Owens crazy. Has all the moral weight of Ted Bundy criticizing Aileen Wuornos.

Hey, GOP, just so you know, we Democrats do not deny that Bill Clinton is knee deep in this shit. Any establishment Dem trying to convince anyone that he's the Chuck Cunningham of the Epstein Files is full of shit and we know it.

DOJ insists that redacted passages from Epstein Files are merely Kevin Costner scenes from The Big Chill, with the songs from I'll Do Anything thrown in, and to please just trust us, the overall trove of documents works better without them.

I've hated them for my entire life. Yuck!

No, you're crying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF8_...

In terms of actual impact on the fate of the Trump Administration, the Epstein Files are just the Cinemax After Dark version of the Mueller Report.

I hadn't seen a photo of Gavin Newsom in a while and forgot how much be looks like when the Joker disguises himself as a regular guy so he can go through airport security

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Hey, Rick Wilson, when Trump passes down into the gates of hell, will he see the spot that's been reserved for you since your smearing of Max Cleland?

Old white guys, we fucking suck, don't we?

I think it would be hard to pick a single film as the worst of all time but if you chose this one it would be impossible to prove you wrong.

As often as Rob Reiner has been on my mind these past few days, I almost forgot that this past year I binged and became of huge fan of NEW GIRL. Just one more wonderful and hilarious thing he was a part of. He did so much great stuff, it's hard to keep up.

It’s that time of year to watch THE SILENT PARTNER.

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

I said this when it was first announced, and now I've been proven correct: "The Young Garrison Keillor Chronicles" is not a good idea for a show.

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

This is why you never give an inch to the bigots. All those centrists dems (Newsom, Mayo Pete) claiming there are concerns around trans kids, you're complicit in this. This doesn't get rid of trans people, it just makes them suffer unbearably. Get your head straight: trans rights are human rights.

"And don't even get me started on shipping and handling."

Thanks, Oprah.
