  1. Wife gave me a hard time today because she found out that a few days ago me and the three year old grandson were doing chart art on the sidewalk in front of his house.  The next door neighbor had a Trump/Cruz sign up.

    I drew a really bad fox with four weird legs saying "Boo Trump, Boo Vance".  The grandkid drew some stars. 

    Gonna do some poll greeting today for Sam Eppler, who I believe has a 3% chance of beating Beth Van Duyne.

    Fugit is terrible throughout, as is Deschanel. The guy playing Ben Fong Torres is also really bad. 

    Interesting observation.  And I can't argue with the Fugit part (I kind of fell in love with the Deschanel character.  Like I did with most of the movie.)  But his weird acting actually helped you focus on the other characters.  He didn't insist upon himself.  He was just a weird, young kid.

    But I also like your observation because rock/pop music is like that.  Much of it is "bad" and unfinished and unclean, and it's the badness that makes you remember it.  I can think of two example that many people would find to be messy or unpolished, but are just fantastic and perfect.  So in a weird way, bad lovable acting is just like the music that we fall in love with.  Most times you forget it but sometimes you fall head over heels for it when you don't expect it.

    Almost Famous, while an incredible movie, also has so much terrible acting in it that I find parts of it hard to watch. 

    I appreciate this, because I've never gotten past how great it is.

    Who are the guilty parties?  And are they also drunken buffoons?

    The Sound of Music is the worst garbage ever.  Von Trapp was an Austrian Nazi.  Maria was a gold digging whore.

    Heard a great podcast about some women who grew up not having the second VHS (or Beta) of Sound of Music.  To her the movie ended with the Hitler Youth guy kissing the hot daughter (not the blond [pedobear]) and the hot older daughter going weeeee!

    When she learned that there was a second half where Julie Andrews came back and they all ran from the Nazis it blew her mind.

    Shawshank Redemption is way overrated.  I’ve tried to get through it several times and I’m bored to death and stop watching.  

    That is unpopular because it totally fucking sucks.
