Resident Airhead of “The View”: Sherri, The Definition of Arrogant Hypocrisy




Is she really, truly that much of an airhead? Of a hypocrite? Of course, I am referring to the resident ethical, moral and religious authority of “The View,” Sherri Shepherd. Think back on all those ethical and/or moral and/or religious condemnations this woman has tossed out over the past. Yet, she can simply dismiss her having “more abortions than she cares to count” by accepting the promise of some unnamed “wonderful” woman that when she arrives in heaven all those aborted babies will be there just waiting to greet her with a “Hi, Momma”? It does not matter one whit what your stand on abortion is, it is the arrogance of her self-forgiveness in the face of her previous judgments of others that eats at me. Add to that the fact that it seemed to bother her more that one of her remarks might piss off her boss, Barbara Walters. Why do people watch “The View”? It seems to be little more than a bastion of airheads, twits and self-serving, two-faced, hypocritical morons.

The Absence

Yep, been off-line for a few days. I’ve had a few network problems here at the hermit hovel that are driving me even more bonkers than what people already know I am. However, my son-in-law has helped bring me back to some semblance of passing sanity and we will see how things shake out from here. The good thing about being off-line for a few days is that I could ignore the whole “Batman Beats Up Mom and Sis” bullshit. ;-)

NewsBusted: 7.22.08




Yeah, it has been awhile since I’ve shared an episode of “NewsBusted” with you. That should give you some idea as to how funny I think the material has been. It has ranged from disgustingly unfunny to simply boring. I guess I got lucky on this one … I think I chuckled once or twice.

Andy Dick Busted on Drug, Sex Allegations




Okay, I admit it. I have long believed that Andy Dick is one of the best living examples of a talentless, tactless and witless asshole who just happened to somehow, someway make a niche for himself in that ever downward spiraling cesspool called Hollywood. So, not only does this news not surprise me, it adds strength to my previously stated opinion. ;-)

30 Second Bunnies: Titanic

From Crackle: Bunnies: Titanic


“The greatest love story ever told by bunnies.”

One, I don’t believe it was the “greatest love story ever told.”

Two, I think I like this version better than the original.

“Terminator: Salvation”: Teaser Preview




I don’t know. Haven’t we been down this road once before? However, Christian Bale? If he’s in it, it’s gotta be worth taking a chance on.

“Mamma Mia”: Preview


visit videodetective.com for more info



There are 52 weekends in the year to open a movie. So, I gotta ask. Who was the friggin’ genius who said, “Hey! Let’s open the same weekend as ‘The Dark Knight’!” An act of counter-programming genius? Or, the result of substance abuse?

Pierce Brosnan’s Advice to Young Actors




Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan gives his advice to young actors in Tinsel Town.

I posted this because this is some very sound, yet common sense advice from a respected veteran. All you have to do is look at artists that have made the headlines this past year to realize just how bad the pressure is. Now, my additional advice would be simple and, I believe, also common sense. If you can’t handle the pressure without resorting to drugs and alcohol, get the hell outta the business before you destroy yourself and/or someone close to you.

His Girl Friday




What can I say? I’m feeling nostalgic. Cary Grant. Rosalind Russell. Nothing to complain about there!
