Actress Kyra Segdwick On Hollywood’s Mistake: Ignoring Midwest
8 Sep 2012 5:44 pm Warner Todd Huston

Actress Kyra Sedgwick might be tempting fate in Hollywood with a recent interview on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS where she scolded her industry for ignoring the great middle of the country.
Sedgwick was on the show discussing her recently concluded series The Closer on TNT and noted that the show was a great hit in the Midwest, but not in L.A. or New York City. At first she said she felt insulted at this ratings truth, but it wasn’t long before she realized that this wasn’t a bad thing …

Ms.Christine O’Donnell, Occupy vs. Tea Party Isn’t Your Idea!
17 Aug 2012 7:34 pm Matt Vespa

Christine O’Donnell was a witch and now she’s a thief! The failed Delaware Republican senate candidate has announced she will be hosting an Occupy vs. Tea Party debate during her ‘Troublemaker Fest,’ which is being held the same week as the Republican National Convention. The problem is that the idea of having two most prominent political grassroots organizations in the country duking it out over a debate wasn’t her idea. It’s the brainchild of Gordon Gebert.

Gebert is a musician–who decided that it would be interesting to bring these two groups …

“The Ten Best Aaron Sorkin Rants”
4 Aug 2012 6:33 am Craig Newmark

I don’t like the man’s politics, but he surely can write. #4–Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson’s War–is particularly great.
(Apparently, though, you’ll have to look elsewhere for that particular clip. Sorry.)

Roger Ebert Tries to Exploit Colorado Crime for Gun Control Purposes’
21 Jul 2012 4:05 pm Warner Todd Huston

Dear Mr. Ebert, the Colorado theater was a ‘gun free zone’
Jumping on the gun-ban band wagon and to take political advantage of the murders in Colorado, film critic Roger Ebert immediately ran to his keyboard to decry our “insane” gun laws in an Op Ed in the New York Times. His goal was to invalidate concealed carry laws by noting that no one in the theater shot back at the murderer in black. But, Ebert misses an important point. The Cinemark theater chain has a “gun-free zone” policy.
In the NYT, …

Hollywood Disconnect, Valuing ‘Equality’ More Than ‘Liberty’
10 Jul 2012 7:44 am Warner Todd Huston

We are soon to be regaled by yet another movie from Hollyweird that likely misunderstands the difference between liberty (or freedom) and equality. This we might infer from the recently released advance plot synopsis for the upcoming movie Elysium from Director Neil Blomkamp, director of the surprise 2009 Sci Fi hit District 9.
Blomkamp’s new film is set in the not-too-distant future where the human elite live in a cushy space station circling the Earth while the rest of humanity toils down on the environmentally distressed Earth. In this film, the …

Good Grief: Dallas Reboot Incorporates “Green”
15 Jun 2012 8:54 am William Teach

For those who watched the new Dallas reboot (I didn’t. Wasn’t interested in the first, not interested in this one), did you catch the underlying theme? No? Well, let Time Magazines Ecocentric explain it
In case you thought that the battle between big oil and alternative fuel had cooled down, Hollywood has proven that the debate is hot enough to inspire soap opera-style drama. The central conflicts in the new reboot of the TV show “Dallas,” which premiered Wednesday night on TNT, revolve around questions of clean …

RIP Ray: Sci Fi Giant Ray Bradbury Slams Obama’s Era of Big Government
6 Jun 2012 1:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

[Ed note: Ray Bradbury passed on last night. He was 91. In celebration of his life and work, I'll repost this article that I wrote in August of 2010.]
The L.A. Times has a heartwarming story of literary giant Ray Bradbury who at 90 is not afraid to tell everyone exactly what he thinks. A gathering of admirers got an earful of Bradburyisms on the verge of his Aug 22 90th birthday celebration in Los Angeles. Bradbury railed against the “too many machines” that we surround ourselves with, lamented that we …

Rock-N-Roller Confronted With Capitalism
1 Jun 2012 5:32 pm Warner Todd Huston

Jack White recently of the band The White Stripes has realized something important, capitalism works. At least it works when properly approached and with the release of several special vinyl albums he is trying to do it right, much to the consternation of some of his cheapskate fans.
As it happens, Mr. White is part of Third Man Records label, a company that produces special pressings on vinyl for the collectors market. But, seeing as how they are both limited and collectors editions, they aren’t cheap. This has apparently made …

“Radio Time Machine”
27 May 2012 6:26 am Craig Newmark

Potential time waster. But interesting.

Suddenly The Actor IS a Reason Condemn a Movie?
13 Apr 2012 2:30 pm Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston
Left-wingers have for years complained that conservatives are wrong to condemn a movie based on the outspoken nature or politics of a staring actor or director.
“It’s just a movie,” they tell us and they scold us for not separating the entertainment from the actor’s real life. But now, in a typical hypocritical move, left-wingers are condemning a movie that is in the works precisely because of who is involved in the project, Mel Gibson, someone they do not like. It is hard not to recognize the …

Sacha Baron Cohen, The Oscars, And the Death of Propriety
24 Feb 2012 12:59 pm Warner Todd Huston

Outrage of the day: The Academy Awards folks banned shock comedian Sacha Baron Cohen from its ceremonies this week. Then did only with caveats. Then didn’t know what to do. It all shows a certain death of propriety, not just in Hollywood (where its been dead a long time in most cases), but in the US in general.
This tempest in a teapot started when comedian Cohen asked the Academy if he could walk down the red carpet on his way into the Oscar Award ceremony in the full regalia of …

New Rock Band, Madison Rising Shows Our Country Finally Heading Into The Right Direction?
14 Jan 2012 1:11 pm Warner Todd Huston

News from the band Madison Rising…
Could a pro-American and openly conservative rock band charting in the top 100 on both iTunes and Amazon.com be a sign that our country is starting to move in the right direction? Maybe so, given the fact that Madison Rising, a phenomenal new band lead by a Navy veteran Dave Bray is climbing rock charts while promoting the principles of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility.
It used to be that younger people only listened to music about sex, drugs, rock n …

No, Daily Caller, Rush Will Not Back a Candidate in the Primary
8 Jan 2012 11:47 pm Warner Todd Huston

The Daily Caller posted an Op Ed calling on Rush Limbaugh to save the GOP by offering a clinching endorsement of one of the non-Romney candidates. The writer was full of reasons and praise for the most listened-to radio talker, but for all the importuning, Rush will never back a primary candidate. The truth is, there just isn’t anything in it for him.
The writer, Yates Walker, says that short of some action by Rush, Romney will be the GOP nominee. Romney’s big money and ubiquitous support among the ignoratti …

Grammy Nominee’s Occupy Wall Street Theme Song Features Bloodlust, Violent Imagery
16 Nov 2011 3:31 pm Warner Todd Huston

While denizens of Hollywood are running around praising the Occupy-Whatevers as an articulate, non-violent example of “democracy in action” and adopting the Occupy rhetoric, a new anthem of sorts has been unveiled to inspire these “non-violent” folks to greater activism.
But, for a “non-violent” movement, their new theme song (running nearly nine minutes long) is full of bloodlust and childish name-calling belying that claim to thoughtful democracy.
The song, “We Stand as One,” created by Grammy nominee Joseph Arthur, seems to fall short of the mythical claim that the Occupy movement is …

The Hollywood Left: America’s Shame
24 Oct 2011 3:40 pm Kristen Walker

The Occupy movement continues to stumble across the country, prompting MTV reality show buzz and, according to high-ranking NYC police officials, a 154% increase in city-wide shootings thanks to the protest’s draw on law enforcement resources.
It has also attracted various celebrity visitors and endorsements, from the dubious: Roseanne Barr – to the obvious: Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon – to the uber-famous: Kanye West, Radiohead.
A particularly fawning AP piece about the radical folk singer Pete Seeger and his grandson, who visited the Wall St. protest Friday night, is an instructive example …

ABC’s Joy Behar: Historical Illiterate
5 Oct 2011 2:37 pm Warner Todd Huston

Sadly, ABC’s The View is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV, these days. The View yacker Joy Behar’s blather is also indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country.
Herman Cain made an appearance on the coffee klatch show this week and genius Behar had this comment about the history of the Republican Party for him:

The Republican Party hasn’t been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.

This comment is ignorant in a million ways.
Firstly, of course, this county hasn’t even been a country …

Garofalmania: A Mental Condition
29 Sep 2011 12:54 pm Warner Todd Huston

Truth of life number one: logic is anathema to left-wingers. Recently on the little-watched Current TV cable station, so-called “comedienne” Janeane Garofalo disgorged one of the most perfect examples of this truth of life that can ever be used as prima facia evidence.
Speaking about the rise of Herman Cain’s bid for the GOP nomination for president, Garofalo released the “logic” of the left.
First a word about Mr. Cain. In case you have been living under a rock for the last year, Herman Cain is a businessman, a talk show host, …

MSNBC Guest: Solyndra is Bush’s Fault! (Despite Truth)
29 Sep 2011 12:52 pm Warner Todd Huston

In a recurrence of its bout with Bush Derangement Syndrome, MSNBC recently relied on a left-wing, green activist to assert that the whole Solyndra scandal was really started by George W. Bush. Yep, it’s Boosh’s fault once again. Of course, the facts speak otherwise, but let’s not let truth get in the way of a good left-wing trope, shall we?
On the Friday September 23 episode of MSNBC Live, host Thomas Roberts was discussing the wasted loan of half a billion in tax dollars to the later bankrupt green company Solyndra …

Dancing With The Haters: DWTS Slam on Tea Party (Updated With Video)
27 Sep 2011 11:21 pm Warner Todd Huston

Even Dancing is not safe from left-wing attacks on Tea Partiers, sadly. Tonight on the venerable dance show, fashion makeover maven Carson Kressley thought it would be a hoot to make fun of over half the voters in America with an attack on how he thinks Tea Party activists smell.
On tonight’s Dancing With The Stars, funny guy Carson Kressley hit the screen wearing a gorilla mask. Taking it off he snarked, “It still smells like a Tea Party.”
So, what are we to make of this nonsense? Is Kressley saying that …
