Marcia weighs in on Olivia Wilde

Repost from SICKOFITALLRADLZ:

Olivia Wilde, shut up

Can Olivia Wilde shut up?

I mean, I get it, she's from a busybody family of trash.  Laura Flanders is her aunt.  Stephanie Flanders is related to her as well.  The 'journalist' Patrick Cockburn (propagandist) is related to her as well.  The only  one in her family I had any respect for was Alexander Cockburn.  He's dead.

She is career wise but nobody wants to tell her.

She thought she was going to be a star.  And, yes, C.I. did get her nixed for a few roles. But it was easy to do when she failed at every acting opportunity she had and due to her age.  With no stardom in sight, she's now grabbed on to directing.

She was slamming Shia LeBeouf this week and claiming he was fired from her movie (he wasn't) and that she didn't allow the kind of trouble he causes -- no, not on her productions.  Her productions?  She's directed two feature films.  The first one bombed (BOOK SMART).  Her new one is DON'T WORRY DARLING and it hasn't come out yet.  Her productions?

Cake on some more make up, lady, you're not fooling anyone about your age or with your talent.

She really needs to stay out of Shia's business.  If Will Smith's in a slapping mood again, he should slap her and tell her to keep Shia's name out of her mouth.

I am so sick of this pompous, middle-aged freak.

Take your whine wagon somewhere else.

"Vicious."  It was the most vicious thing ever, whine, whine.  That was also Priss Wilde this week.  Jason Sudekis served her with custody papers while she was promoting her film.  The most vicious thing ever.

Just shut up.  No, it's not the most vicious thing.  She is a spoiled brat who needs to grow up.  I would love for her to make that most vicious claim in front of Judge Judy and watch Judy rip her a new one. 

I feel sorry for Harry Styles because he's dating her.  Poor Harry.  I've never wished someone was in the closet before, but I do now.  I'd love it if Olivia were just the beard.  It's awful to think of Harry having to put up with her. 

Even worse, what the pillow looks like the next day.  That woman cakes on make up.  Her pillows and towels must be filthy all the time.

 

Before any idiot wants to e-mail me that Laura Flanders is my friend, she's a self-loathing lesbian.  I don't have time for her.  In 2008, Barack Obama put homophobes on stage at his campaign events.  Laura endorsed him.  She didn't bat an eye.  He promoted conversion 'therapy.'  Laura didn't say boo.  Bitch can go f**k herself. 

Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"

Ruth on our disappointing media

From RUTH'S REPORT:

The media loves their clown pundits (we don't share that love)

The media wants to be trusted but they keep putting clowns on to act as experts.  Worse then clowns?  Known liars.  Nikolas Lanum and Brian Flood (FOX NEWS) report:

Left-leaning media networks CNN and MSNBC continue to give ample airtime to a number of current and former intelligence officials, despite concerns about their credibility following the Trump-Russia collusion investigation and the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. 

On Monday, during an appearance on "Don Lemon Tonight," former Director of National Intelligence and CNN national security analyst James Clapper said that one should assume all classified material obtained from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home have been compromised. 

"That is the worst-case assumption that you have to make. What is the potential damage that could be done to U.S. Intelligence capabilities? That is, sources, methods, trade crowds compromised? That can get very personal in the case of human assets," he said.

But, Clapper has made numerous comments over the years that are scrutinized to this day.

In March 2013, Clapper said the U.S. government does not "wittingly" collect data on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans, during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. 

However, following former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s decision to leak top-secret information in 2013, it was revealed that the federal government does indeed collect data from the phone calls and internet communications of the American public. Clapper subsequently apologized in a letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, stating his answer was "clearly erroneous." 

Clapper has also been criticized for his commentary on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sprawling Russia investigation.

In December 2017, Clapper told CNN that Russian President Vladimir Putin "knows how to handle an asset, and that’s what he’s doing with" Trump.

If the media wants to address the trust issue -- few trust them -- they are going to have to address James Clapper and others.  Mr. Clapper, for example, should not be allowed on TV or radio as a commentator.  He lied to Congress.  He lied to the American people.  Ethically, that should end his career as a commentator for the media.  By the same token, John Dean is a convicted felon.  He was disbarred.  MSNBC needs to stop bringing him on as a guest.  He is not to be trusted.  

I get the point about the ones wrong about Russia-gate or Hunter Biden's laptop.  I agree that there needs to be accountability and that there should be.

But Mr. Clapper and Mr. Dean go far beyond that.  A functioning media would not bring them on and give them airtime.

 

And now I get to go eat.  A neighbor's garden is playing out and he brought me onions and jalapenos this evening.  That was very sweet of him.  When I have both of those on hand, I like to cook black eyed peas.  So I immediately needed to soak some dried black eyed peas.  I did the quick soak -- bring to a boil for two minutes, remove from heat, cover and let set for an hour, then empty the water and rinse the beans.  Put fresh water in the pot, add the peas, a chopped onion and 3 chopped jalapenos, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover and allow beans to simmer for one hour.

And they are finally ready.

Fresh onions and jalapenos make the black eyed peas taste so good -- there is a hot, spicy quality and a sweetness.  Anyway, they are finally ready and eager to dive in.

Betty calls out Idris Elba and Hollywood racism

From THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN:

Shut up, Idris Elba, racism has driven your career in the US

From VARIETY:

  The upcoming Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance Somebody” stars BAFTA-winning actor Naomi Ackie as the legendary singer, which means the debate over Black British actors taking roles away from American actors is bound to resurface. The debate surged in 2017 after Samuel L. Jackson called out Daniel Kaluuya’s casting in “Get Out,” for which the actor earned an Oscar nomination.

“I tend to wonder what that movie would have been with an American brother who really feels that,” Jackson said.

In a new interview on “The Shop” (via The Root), Idris Elba railed against the claim that Black British actors take roles away from American actors. Naomi Ackie’s role in “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” served as a launching pad for the discussion. Talk show host Maverick Carter asked Elba about Ackie’s casting, noting that Black American women might criticize a Black British actor playing an American icon.   

I'm really sick of Idris Elba.  He's not a star.  He's been given multiple chances and failed everytime -- twice in the last few weeks alone.  See Stan's "Weekend box office" for more on that.  If he's British, he's British.  There's nothing wrong with that.  But get your Black ass out of American films playing Americans -- especially real life ones.  It is racist and you're offensive.  Ava and C.I. have addressed this repeatedly at THIRD and been very clear on this issue.  

American studios are casting British Blacks because American studios are racists.  They think MLK and then think that 'lower' US Blacks can't play the roles so they case British.  It's offensive.  

Idris was offeed many chances to become a star in America and he failed repeatedly.  He's Clifton Davis, someone who is known but can't sell tickets. Idris turns 50 in three days.  He's not a movie star and he's now too old to become one.  He had two flop films in the last three weeks.  

Here's how CRAPAPEDIA lies for him:

In 2007, Elba signed on as the lead role of the film Daddy's Little Girls, playing Monty, a blue-collar mechanic who falls in love with an attorney helping him gain custody of his kids, and finds the relationship and his custody hopes threatened by the return of his former wife. He appeared in 28 Weeks Later (2007) and This Christmas (2007), which brought in nearly $50 million at the box office in 2007.^[28][29] In 2008, he starred in the horror film Prom Night and the Guy Ritchie London gangster film RocknRolla.^[28] In 2009, he starred in the horror film The Unborn and in Obsessed, a thriller that had him cast opposite Beyoncé.^[30] The latter was a box office success, taking $29 million in its opening weekend.^[31]

Two films brought in neary $50 million?  Which means that each made $25 million.  $100 million domestically in the US is a blockbuster -- even during the pandemic.  So, no, those films weren't hits.  He did not 'sar' in PROM NIGHT OR ROCKNROLLA.  He was part of an ensemble in both.   In PROM NIGHT, he is tenth billed.  In ROCKNROLLA, he is fifth billed.  Those aren't starring roles.  OBSESSED was not a box office success.  It almost made $70 million in the US -- on a 20 million shooting budget, with a ten million promotion budget (they went all in, convinced Beyonce could have a film career) and that's not counting prints.  It did a little better than break even.  Stop pretending. THE DARK TOWER cost $60 million just to shoot and brought in about $50 million in North America.  Not a hit.  His -- or 'his' -- hits come from playing a bit part in the Thor and Avengers films.  He was fourth billed in the bomb that is CATS.  He's a failure.

And he built his career around racism.  "Classy."  Racist US studios cast him in Black American roles because unlike people like me (Black Americans) they saw British Idris as classy.

My Labor Day Weekend (C.I.)

Repost from THE COMMON ILLS:

My Labor Day Weekend

Hope your Labor Day Weekend was better than mine.

A friend asked for a favor.  Could I speak to one of their former clients?  

By phone?  No problem.  

No, in person.  

He lives in the valley.  I did not want to go.

But he thinks he's dying -- he's thought that before.  And the man he's spent his life with wants him to come out and called my friend.  

"I'll send a car."

Yeah, you better because I'm not driving in the valley, let alone to it.

So he's an actor.  Unlike some closeted actors and actresses, he can't insist his mother would be shocked -- his mother died long, long ago.  How old is he?  He's so old that ____ _____ once bearded for him back when she was a starlet -- a decade before she became a respectable actress and a winner of numerous awards.

He won an award too.  Many, many decades ago.  

He made a lot of movies.

He was like Orlando Bloom.  He didn't really sell tickets but no one who went to the movies he was in felt like they'd been short changed.  So he was more like Orlando Bloom than, for example, Josh Harnett.  

He's been part of five classics -- one is a camp classic but it's a classic none the less.  He was popular on the big screen but never a star.  In TV, he'd finally become a star.  

He's well over seventy and he won't step out of the closet.  He's worried what people will think.

What people will think? Few think of him today and even fewer know he's alive.  

By the time the sixties ended, so did his pretense of dating actresses.  By the 80s, the never married status should have registered.  

No one's going to be appalled.  Coming out would be seen as brave.  And if he truly is on the end cycle (again, he's thought this before but he's edging ever closer to 100 so this could be it), coming out would mean he would make the In Memoriam reel at the Academy Awards broadcast.  It would also mean renewed interest in his work.  He hasn't played a role in a film or TV show in over two decades.  

It would also mean that it would come out (his being gay) on his terms.  He could give a few interviews as his life wound down (if he is indeed dying) and talk about what is was like coming up in Hollywood in the fifties. There would be tremendous interest for historical, sociological and media reasons.  

The more we talked, the more obvious it was that nothing was going to happen re: his coming out.  I offered to hook him up with Lily Tomlin because in our only conversation before this one -- a conversation that took place over 30 years ago -- he'd expressed that he was a fan of Lily Tomlin's and then, he leaned in, and sotto voice added, "I've heard she's gay."  To which I replied, "You mean like you."

Is that why, all these years later, his former publicist had arranged this meeting?  No.  It was because, I was told by the actor, I was known for not sugar coating.  That reputation's been there for years but it was when the Iraq War was about to start and I told off a roomful of big names as they tried to figure out how best to 'message' what was coming -- as opposed to standing up against it -- that the reputation really took hold.  I didn't realize what a bitch I was considered -- and I'm fine with that.  I did rip people apart -- fake ass, faux lefties who are held up as heroes by a public that doesn't know better.  I don't regret a word I said (and I'm very grateful to the friend, a film director, who stood up and walked out of the room with me) and it was past time that someone said it to those fake asses. 

Apparently, the actor feels the country has gone astray (it has) with one war after another and, as a veteran himself, he has loved hearing about that moment when I told off a bunch of fake asses.  (It's rather notorious within the industry.)  

I told him the truth.  He can act on it or not.

Not only would it be good for his image -- coming out -- it would be good for others who need role models.  The man's not had any scandals in his life -- no arrests for drug use or what have you.  When people do think of him, they think of him fondly because he didn't wear out his welcome.

It would also be good because someone's going to talk after he's dead.  Better he be the one to talk about it now.  

It would also be good because he had two strong, loving relationships that I know of and it would be good for him to honor what he had with those two men.  (I'm referring to an earlier relationship many years ago as well as his current one.  To be clear, these two strong relationships were at different times in his life.)

I don't think it worked.  Maybe it will as he continues to think about it.  Maybe it won't.

But it's sad that all these years later, this man well over 70, can't come out -- or at least, can't come out with some persuasion. 

 

 

 

 

Ann on the upcoming film BROS

From ANN'S MEGA DUB:

Bros

I agree with Billy Eichner.  From ROLLING STONE:

Ooooh, Billy Eichner just @’d the Supreme Court. While presenting an award at the 2022 VMAs on Sunday night, Eichner took the opportunity to promote his upcoming film Bros — the gay rom-com he wrote and stars in — by namedropping Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and advocating for more gay love onscreen.

“We need to show all the homophobes like Clarence Thomas and all the homophobes on the supreme court that we want gay love stories,” Eichner said. “And we support LGBTQ people. And we are not letting them drag us back into the last century because they are in the past, and Bros is the future. Are you with me, VMAs?”

[. . .]

Eichner spoke to Rolling Stone last month about the film and the impact he hopes it has on viewers.

“I’m in my forties, and I look around at movies in general — about straight people, about gay people, especially comedies — and say, “Where are the adults? What happened to the adults?” [Laughs.] I grew up with those great James L. Brooks movies and Nora Ephron movies and Woody Allen movies,” he said. “Those movies have disappeared entirely. I at least wanted to hold [Bros] to a higher standard than what’s passing for rom-coms these days.”

He added, “But as much as I love all those movies – Broadcast News, Moonstruck, Annie Hall, Tootsie – LGBTQ people are literally completely ignored and erased in those worlds. We weren’t even the best friend!”

Here are some trailers for his film Bros. 

I want to see it.  It's looks funny and it's been a long time since we've had a good romantic comedy.    

It'll be released in the US on September 30th.  

In other news, Benjamin Mateus (WSWS) reports:

In its latest guidelines, from August 8, 2022, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) gave one of its strongest recommendations to Paxlovid for patients at high risk of progressing to severe COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. The list of underlying medical conditions that raise one’s risk of severe COVID-19 is long and accounts for more than four out of 10 adults (138 million Americans, including 54 million who are 65 or older). Close to 4 million prescriptions have been filled since Paxlovid was authorized.

However, the results of a new retrospective observational study out of Israel published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) seem to place a question mark over the strength of these recommendations, in particular, with the Omicron subvariant.

The report’s authors found that Pfizer’s antiviral medication Paxlovid offered little to no benefit for younger adults. However, it did reduce the risk of hospitalization for high-risk seniors. Notably, supplementary material from the original study of Paxlovid in high-risk non-hospitalized adults with COVID-19 during the Delta wave had demonstrated benefits in those younger than 65, albeit the difference compared to the placebo was much less than in those 65 and older.

The study’s authors utilized the electronic medical records from almost 110,000 patients enrolled in Clalit Health Services, Israel’s largest state-mandated health service organization. Nearly 4 percent, or 3,900 of the patients, had taken Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir) after contracting COVID-19.

Among those over 65, there was a 73 percent decrease in the hospitalization rate and a 79 percent reduction in the risk of death. However, patients between the ages of 40 and 65 saw no benefit in taking the antiviral medication in either category, regardless of previous immunity status.

Trina serves up some recipes

From TRINA'S KITCHEN:

Spaghetti with Bacon in the Kitchen

Maya notes this Taste of Home recipe for spaghetti with bacon:

Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1/2 pound bacon strips, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
Minced fresh parsley, optional


Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Cook spaghetti according to package directions for al dente.
In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp, stirring occasionally; drain. Stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce; bring to a boil.
Drain spaghetti; transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Spread sauce over top. Bake, covered, until bubbly, 40-45 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

Maya likes that recipe because "I usually have everything for an easy pasta -- except meat.  Since finding this recipe that uses bacon, we have pasta a lot more.  It's a quick and easy last minute recipe when needed."

And let's pair that with a pasta recipe from Matteo Lane.

This is from Philip Guelpa (WSWS):

Following the initial discovery in July of an infected individual in Rockland County, evidence that polio is continuing to spread in New York state has now come to light. In addition to previous detection of the virus via wastewater testing in New York City and two suburban counties—Orange and Rockland—it has now been found farther away in Sullivan County, in samples taken in July and August. 

A pattern of geographic spread is indicated. Rockland County lies immediately northwest of New York City, across the Hudson River. Orange County is adjacent to Rockland to the northwest and Sullivan to the northwest of Orange. Given the highly interconnected economy of the New York metropolitan region, which encompasses portions of the adjacent states of Connecticut and New Jersey, there is no reason to believe that the virus would not already be in those areas as well. However, wastewater testing so far has been extremely limited, making it impossible to comprehensively trace the spread of the polio virus. 

Dr. Mary T. Bassett, New York State Health Commissioner, exemplified the official response to these developments in a guest essay published in the New York Times. She exclaimed that, “The case of a young adult paralyzed by polio in New York is not simply unexpected. It’s shocking.” No public health expert could be genuinely shocked.

It has long been recognized by those who have seriously considered the matter that, although it came close to achieving its goal, the underfunded and incompletely executed world campaign to eradicate polio, led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, would not only fail in its stated mission but would open the door to the resurgence of this dread disease. This failure provides an object lesson regarding the necessary approach to combating all infectious diseases. A brief review will make this evident. 

There are two basic types of polio vaccine—the inactivated (“killed”) virus vaccine, the Salk vaccine, first deployed in 1955, and the attenuated virus vaccine, the Sabin vaccine, released in 1961, which contains live virus that has been weakened so that, although still infectious, it does not normally cause disease. Both are highly effective in preventing disease in vaccinated individuals. However, each has advantages and disadvantages, which affected how and where they were employed. 

Check back in four months when Joe Biden's finally aware of the problem.
