INDIANA JONES and the COLOSTOMY BAG of the GOLDEN EARRING

Grandpa Harrison wandered away from the Senior Living Community and into the parched desert wasteland without shoes again


I love VINTAGE Harrison Ford as much as the next guy, but PERSONALLY I was NOT THRILLED about INDIANA JONES and the  KINGDOM of the CRYSTAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.

For many years now, I have cringed every time I've seen him in a movie, or presenting at an awards show.  I am not ageist, but geriatric Harrison Ford just sucks. He always seems confused, and it's a bummer.  I always imagine him having difficulty with soup. 


Recently, I heard about the Blade Runner sequel, and the simultaneous announcement that Harrison Ford would be returning and I was NOT HAPPY.  My first (admittedly unkind) thought was "maybe he'll die in pre-production so he won't ruin it." 


And oops he crashed his airplane at a golf course a week later

KILL YOUR DARLINGS

Russell Tovey saying he's glad he's not effeminate is not the end of the fucking world, gay people. It's just not PC.

I see gay friends posting about their OUTRAGE and reposting their favorite drag queen's OUTRAGE and so on and so forth. It's... Disproportionate.

People have types. That is ok. If we have types that we prefer in others, why would we not prefer to be a type ourselves. I wish that the gay community- one of the most back-biting, shit talking, superficial, territorial, ageist, classist, racist, elitist cultures I have ever observed or been a part of- would take a step back and think about every willfully cruel shitty thing they have ever said about, I don't know, THEIR OWN FRIENDS BEHIND THEIR BACKS and then revisit whether it is alright or not for Russell Tovey to be accountable to the world for being glad to be the way he is. 
 
Take a fucking breath, gay community.

Also, Drama School IS PRETTY FUCKING GAY. If nothing else, let's just admit that. We've all seen FAME.

'MERICA

#ChapelHill shootings. A white American man who devoted a great deal of his energy and identity lumping fundamentalist terrorists together with American Muslims enrolled in dental college and going frothy-mouth crazy about hating religions because they are SUPER EVIL shot three people who fit into his ideological hate spectrum (admittedly a somewhat undistinguished accomplishment given the breadth of his untethered hate and xenophobia) execution style point blank in the head. Because of a parking spot dispute and there are no other issues that factor into the TRIPLE HOMICIDE.

Watched the news tonight. Story number one was a single white girl being murdered by ISIS. Second story was #ChapelHill and story number three was about POOR, SYMPATHETIC CHRIS KYLE, American Martyr, American Sniper and American Hero. Who basically bragged about how he shot a triple load every time he killed a categorically evil Muslim dead. Chris Kyle, who is being celebrated by large chunks of the population and celebrated and immortalized in film.

Yeah, the United States isn't anti-Muslim. This was one man who HAPPENED to be white (let's not SMEAR white people! THAT'S not fair! Let's not LUMP A GROUP TOGETHER, that's not FAIR!)

This was about a parking spot.
