When Victories Don’t Deserve Victory Parties, III

We need a country where organized crime, not Wall Street, handles the sports betting. Riffing off of I and II. When the fascist rallies begin, the whole “armbands” thing is going to be stupid. I see some rally attendees showing up with theirs on their right upper arms, only other ‘Mericans will be wearing theirs […]

Impotent Rage Rises

America 2028 Movie Reviews, 4 Upon receiving this new assignment, I thought, “Well, hot damn! A superhero origin story. Action. Fights. Explosions. Good guys. Bad guys. Explosions.

By the blonde hair and fat bankroll of Trickle-Down Jesus, it hits the spot. If South Pacific provided a soundtrack to World War II and […]

Full Metal Jacket 2: the Legend of Dickie

America 2028 Movie Reviews, Part 1 Not knocking the late, great Stanley Kubrick, but from the very beginning, Full Metal Jacket 2: the Legend of Dickie riveted me. Before the opening credits, we see the Parris Island mess hall and that long line of Marine recruits, waiting for chow. Between the misery on their tired mugs […]

Donald Trump’s non-military militarism should terrify you.

Cross-posted on my page at Medium.com.  It is Memorial Day, 2016. I write this as a thank you to those who have died for our country. Whether one likes or dislikes America, ordinary men and women gave their lives for it. That act is worth every person’s respect. When I say “every person,” I include … Continue reading →
