I can't leave you people alone for five minutes!!!
I come back from a lovely vacation to find that they are releasing an afro-centric movie version of that Bugs Bunny cartoon with Baby Face Finster.
Which leads me to inquire: What is the meanning of this?!? Seriously, Hollywizzle, knock it off!
Not only are these kinds of horrible comedies bad for all film and intellectualism in general, but they lower the standards of anyone within 50 feet of them. Presenting outdated and insulting premises fleshed out with derrivative scripts and crude, facile dialogue just to toss out themes a second grader would find immature--it makes me really annoyed that there are so many great writers out there not getting noticed while we get a minority version of a 40 year old cartoon touted as "another bold step" toward the diversification of Hollywood.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I'm really tired, so I'm just gonna watch Daily Show (OMG--Anderson Cooper!!!!!) and Colbert, and then go to bed. I had a grand ol' time and came back only because H wasn't with us. My cats were pretty pissed at me, but I bribed them with some tuna and they are over it.
I got a bit of editing done, and even more reading. Plan to work on keying in all my edits tomorrow. If I missed anything important in your journals, please feel free to comment with appropriate links (you don't have to tell your harrowing tales all over again just because I was out of town).
But I did get several Emails asking if I'm going to say anything about the Minimum Wage not getting increased.
I'm not. It should be obvious that anyone who would fight giving someone a paltry $7.25 an hour is a miserly bastard.

But not knowing would hardly make you a "savage."

"Savages"
I tried to imagine public reaction to my previous remark...

And yeah, that movie just looks horrid. But as P.T. Barnum once said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." It's unfortunate.
