“… Mr. Stewart is usually extremely careful about taking serious positions...”
– The public is right to question Jon Stewart’s advocacy on a show that purports to be entertainment, and this article shows a fine balance of journalism neither supporting nor decrying Stewart. The final tally will fall in Stewart’s favor because he rarely wields such a powerful...

“…the median salary for a camera operator in the television & motion...”
– Who thought I would have opportunity to quote Michelle Malkin? (Put your hand down. You’re lying.) Affleck is one of the biggest violators of “enough”. More big name actors should make a stand and take reasonable salaries.
This reminds me of the crazy things Natalie Portman...

BNAT 12 (2010) - Wrap-up
Big thanks to @Headgeek666 (aka Harry Knowles of AintItCool.com) for inviting us to his birthday film festival Butt-Numb-A-Thon again this year. Harry called it “BNAT: The Dirty Dozenth” and promised us an even helping of both rare classic features and early screenings of contemporary film, summing up to a total of twelve.

“…no one has a practical idea for avoiding economic collapse in your...”
– @DaleDudley practically exploded on the air today towards the end of Dudley and Bob about how much his taxes are, and how unfair it seems. His biggest beef was over the argument that the rich use more government services. Specifically, he argued the FCC only existed to fine/fire him. That seems a...

DVD New Releases - 12/07/2010
Top of the Pops: Inception (Blu-ray/DVD+Digital) - Upon it’s release I declared this to be the only Oscar-worthy film I had seen all year. Since then I’ve seen others that may be better, but I still think this movie will generate more conversation than anything else, and it will do so forever — offering up new unconidered insights as time passes.
