So much for being a christian nation.

I thought that myth was debunked a long time ago.

Israel. Because of course it is.

You need a special oven to make Beijing duck. Doubtful anyone could make anything resembling the real thing. It would be like trying to make Texas BBQ brisket in a wok.

There’s the opposite: “Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit” which you can find here: https://tolkieneditor.wordpress.com/. It removes the stupid elf woman and all of the non-canon related idiocy. Like the theme park ride through the rapids and the attack on Dol Guldur. It does remove “That’s What Bilbo Baggins Hates” which is canon, which is a pity.

It’s Quentin Tarantino’s fault. Before Pulp Fiction, movies were an hour and a half. That’s the thing I like best about older movies: you’re in and out in 88 minutes, including credits. But he made Pulp Fiction which was two and a half hours, breaking all the rules, and it was a wild success. Hey, I don’t blame him, when you’ve got a movie as good as that, the only thing better is more movie.

But nobody else made movies as good as Pulp Fiction. They just made longer movies. I don’t have that kind of time or commitment. I can’t get invested in a 3 hour movie only to find out 90 minutes in that it’s crap and not likely to get any better.

Oh, and Quentin Tarantino was thick as thieves with Harvey Weinstein. He knew. All of them knew that women were being molested by high ranking Hollywood producers and none of them said a goddamn thing. In fact, they had no problem with it. Wood chipper. Feet first. For all of them.

If I had known that Peter Jackson had directed The Frighteners I would have been scared beyond belief for the future of LOTR.

Fortunately I only found out afterwards.

Madeline Albright falsely claiming Saddam had WMD and calling for invasion in 1998.

Here she is on 60 Minutes, saying that 500,000 dead children were a price that was worth it. Coldly saying yes to the death of half a million children. I enjoy these moments when their masks start falling off. People who get in these positions of power don’t have empathy towards humanity. Read the article on ‘What “Psychopath” Means’ in scientificamerican.com and you’ll see who these people are.

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: “We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.”

Yup. He was right in the middle of his froth-at-the-mouth Trump hysteria and then he went silent for a few years. #Metoo’d.
