Alright. Debate thread! Please mute this thread if you generally prefer my (infallible) movie takes as opposed to my (often quite fallible) political takes.
(It’s a double, so: 3oz High West Double Rye, 1.5oz Dolin’s Sweet Vermouth, five or six dashes of Angostura bitters. Shake with ice. Pour into chilled martini glass. Enjoy!)
Joe Biden: “I am the rules.”

(Congrats to the six of you who get this reference.)
(It’s not a JUDGE DREDD reference)
lmao
honestly we deserve having two 70 year olds tell each other to shut the fuck up while another 70 year old can’t control them
Joe Biden’s anti-ventilator stance will definitely be his downfall here.
Trump comparing the COVID response to the Swine Flu response is a very bold move, Cotton.
“I’m the one who brought back football!"
(strike against Trump anyway since amateur football sucks YEAH THAT’S RIGHT)
Nah, I’m just kidding, it’s fun to watch guys who couldn’t hack it on the Washington Football Team toss the old pig skin around.
live shot from tonight’s debate
live shot from 200 years from now
I still don’t know why it’s called anTEEfa instead of anti-fah.
say the neologisms like i want you to cowards
Me: “Man, I want to watch something dumb and fun after this.”
Also me: “What about MALLRATS?”
Me: “Wait, is that @ArrowFilmsVideo release of MALLRATS out yet?”
Also me: “No, not until October 13!”
Me: “Shit, I better pre-order it.”
Also me: “Yeah, get on that."
Anyway, the debate is stimulating the economy.
this is so depressing

(the debate, not me paying $28 for a special edition of MALLRATS)
If I were running for president, I’d put a Blu-ray player in every home and a MALLRATS Blu-ray in every Blu-ray player.
Scanning my profile, I can see that this second Manhattan is kicking in.
An item of pure aesthetics: Biden’s whole outfit is much better? Especially the buttoning of the button on his jacket? Slims his profile.

I don’t love the pocket square’s triple peaks, though. Go for a nice clean line.
Chris Wallace: “STOP.”

Me: “Ah, I see you have two children under the age of six as well."
I don’t like Trump, but I *do* like Trump’s anti-Philadelphia invective. So I’m torn.
whoa dana bash just said “shit show” we are in UNCHARTED WATERS people

I have mostly given up on the GOP electorate, but the way the people at this debate stopped cheering for Vivek and started cheering for Haley when she made the succinct case for killing lots of Russians for very little money at the cost of 0 US lives, well, it warmed my heart.
There's a part of the collective GOP lizard brain that still understands "killing Russians, good; not killing Russinas, bad." We need more of that.
One thing I find confusing about the Russia simps is that they seem to think it would be better if the Ukrainians simply gave up and allowed Putin to liquidate them. The only reason there are dead Ukrainians is because of Russian malevolence.

A few weeks back, I saw folks suggesting the audience score for THE WOMAN KING on Rotten Tomatoes was being astroturfed by the studio because it was at 99%. I thought it was possible, though unlikely, since it was the verified audience number and you have to buy a ticket to vote.
(It would actually be a pretty good use of $50-$100K by the studio: buy tickets to the movie, mildly inflating the gross; leave short reviews, wildly inflating the score; tout the audience number in your press release, leading to more buzz. But I digress.)
The only other recent comp that high was TOP GUN: MAVERICK. That in and of itself seemed like reason to doubt astroturfing, as both scored a relatively rare A+ from CinemaScore, suggesting that *ticket-buying audiences* were very happy with it.

The Salman Rushdie news reminds me that there are few people on this planet I have less respect for than the PEN America members who protested the organization bestowing an award on Charlie Hebdo following the slaughter of that mag's staff by terrorists. pen.org/pen-receives-l…
I'm still furious about that, seven years on. Fucking quislings.
Anyway, now's a good time to pick up Rushdie's fictionalized memoir "Joseph Anton." It's an important reminder of the moral idiocy that goes hand in hand with allowing terrorists to dictate what artists are allowed to publish. amazon.com/Joseph-Anton-M…

Glad to be joined on BGTH this week by @jaketapper to talk about the adaptation of his book about Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan, “The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor,” into the film THE OUTPOST. bulwarkhollywood.thebulwark.com/p/jake-tapper-…
With Afghanistan in the news I’ve wanted to get someone on to talk about the (rather limited) depiction of that war on film. I think THE OUTPOST is perhaps the definitive look at the war from a soldier’s-level view, where the goals of the mission were often opaque, at best.
And it was also a good excuse to revisit Jake’s book, which is by turns heartbreaking and mildly infuriating. If you haven’t read it, you really should. amazon.com/Outpost-Untold…

Finally! Every critic should be raising their voice in alarm about this.
The most amusing part of the replies to this are the people who are JUST OUTRAGED anyone would suggest Mulligan and Variety are doing an awards-season-related two-step. Spoiler: ALL OF THIS IS BEING DONE TO HELP CAREY MULLIGAN WIN AN OSCAR.
If you are looking at this whole situation and your first, or maybe second, response isn’t “Ah, this is how Carey Mulligan and the PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN team bolsters their credentials in the This Is An Important Movie category,” you’re a complete dupe.

So, funny story: Amazon’s currently offering my number one and two movies of 2020 as part of their buy two, get one free Blu-ray sale. Here’s THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW: amzn.to/2N5ZYZG
And here’s FATMAN. I’d wanted to pick this up since it was released, since I’d heard that the Nelms Brothers have a great commentary track. Excited to dig in. amzn.to/2N81jiC
But what should be my third movie? What will I get for free? What have I had my eye on for a while but have failed to pull the trigger on?

Ah. There we go. I have come here to buy Blu-rays and chew bubblegum. And I am all out of bubblegum.
