It was a movie. Indeed, hardly anyone watched it.

Canadian Bacon has some funny bits in it - the cast is stacked, and I think it's the one non-documentary Michael Moore movie. Wagons East is truly awful, and both movies have the grisly vibe of the studio shoving a movie with a dead star out into the market in order to get insurance money.

Post the relevant paragraph, please. I'm not searching through another long link.

Also, it's paywalled. Another big reason why we excerpt the good stuff here.

From what I see, I'm the only one around here who ever does post excerpts from links, ever, thanks your needless crying to me about it. Please stop. I post so the people interested in it can read it. If you're not, don't. I don't care.

I still remember being raked over the coals here when I praised GD Sprain's performance in Canadian Bacon.

As long as the money is flowing, FIFA ain't moving the World Cup.

Fair point. I forgot it was FIFA, who put Cups in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, running this shirt. My general point about our standing in the world remains, though.

I'm starting to agree with Gee here. I think the World Cup gets pulled and pulled soon. Having spent a week here now, everyone is fine and sympathetic to the everyday American but the American government has pissed everyone off in Europe to a stunning degree. We are viewed on par with Russia. I hope it happens. Maybe, maybe, that wakes people up. It feels increasingly and hopelessly desperate and the only hope seems to be actual physical violence against Musk, Miller, Trump, etc., to stop it.

lol, come on.

We just had a WC in frigging Qatar.

LOL. ... Good riddance, then. Continue your daily sobfest unhindered.

We must have posted at the same moment, ha.

Lest we forget: Olympics in LA in 2028. A potential display of excrement not seen since 1936.

Hitler said the same things about Austria leading up to the Anschluss.

If I killed her, it had to have been because I loved her very much, right?

Stock market today: Dow sinks 900 points, Nasdaq plunges 4% in worst day since 2022

Those aren't levels and after yesterday the markets are only slightly down from early November.

Nah, the MAGAs will just blame FIFA for being a part of the woke deep state.

Only way they wake up is if they get financially kicked in the nuts hard enough that they finally see through the alternate facts.
