“The fuzziest box shot in the West!” There are just not a lot of good images out there for this film.
I realized I had been playing far too many movies with subtitles lately and I started thinking – what genre have I not played recently? Besides romance? Westerns! I have wanted to play one of my favorite westerns (besides the Sergio Leone movies): Evil Roy Slade. I finally decided this movie will never be available streaming, so I picked a fan-restored version on YouTube. It’s a gamble showing YouTube normally, but this has been up for eight years. I think it will still be up come Thursday. There is a nice writeup about the process of saving this film on the YouTube link. I thank all involved for saving this film from being a lost piece of film history!
It is great to see John Astin applying his timeless and excellent humor on characters other than Gomez Addams. And the lessons of this film are still applicable today. Evil Roy falls in love with a woman who wants him to change his ways… Evil Roy begins to visit a psychiatrist regularly to try to become less evil. Madness! Don’t do it, Evil Roy!
Here’s a quote from the film, which could have been lifted from the Glib comments any weekday morning:
Betsy Potter: Let’s try some arithmetic. If you had six apples and your neighbor took three apples, what would you have?
Evil Roy Slade: A dead neighbor and all six apples.
Genius! You’ll have to tune in to see what happens next! So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week, I will continue to play… Something. I remain unable to plan ahead this year.
Does he stand on his head?
Clever handle.
It’s good to see you commenting more.
Thanks. I’m trying to reset my avatar to before we all were doing the rich avatar thing, that’s how long since I’ve been a regular. Probably have to fire up the laptop for the first time in months, the server can’t find my previous Pic.
Not all of us. I haven’t changed my avatar since signing up. I probably should, since the picture is almost nine years old noe. 😉
Do you have a different color ball cap now?
They need to fix how replies get too narrow on the phone. My laptop is insting I update before I can do anything, lol. I’m going to waste 45 minutes of my life just to change my avatar! In fairness, it’s been years, it’s not like I do this everyday.
No shit. Phone can get really difficult. I end up with two character wide comments. I am about to break out the old Linux laptop for comments tonight.
My avatar is still just me. For about one month it was Frankenstein Junior. Then I changed it to my corporate headshot.
OK, I’m tired so may be stating the obvious or being unhelpful, but phones do OK if you flip them to landscape view.
Unless you have something awful like an iPhone 6. Someday I will update. Probably to an Ubuntu phone, just to be difficult.
I’m thinking of buying a phone and installing CalyxOS, but I need to do more research.
https://calyxos.org/install/
Save yourself the effort and headache and buy a phone that already has it. Ebay has them.
Well, not sure how that is less effort? Wouldn’t I be paying more to have the Ebay guy to install it for me? I still need to research the different models of phones.
If I do it with a new phone. I know it’s new, and my install is secure.
I get it. I reached a point with new OS research that the time was not worth my effort. My time is valuable. Not to sound stodgy, but damn. Endless hours of research and experimentation cannot be replaced at my age. I charge $400 an hour for my work time, and my time off with family is priceless. I can’t mess with that forever.
Consider a $50 Calyx phone to check it out. It is worth it.
Ubuntu phone. That can’t be real.
It is. I have one in a drawer. Need to start using it.
This movie is very silly.
Yep
I will have to find clips of it. That clip alone is gorgeous. Hilarious, germane and hilarious.
Ev strongly approves.
Good. Enjoy!
I’m 2/3 drunk and hate watching the SOTU.
I’ll get to Gomez Addams later.
State of the Union is balls. Why waste your life on it?
IMO his eyes are like pie-pans.
Someone get Mojo a kilo of what Joe is on.
I thought “balls” was good?
I think of it as awful. Is that wrong?
I don’t know. In English English, “bollocks” is bullshit, but “the dog’s bollocks” is superlative.

Balls = bad
The balls = good
I’m watching Crowder’s live stream. They’re doing a drinking game. I’m really concerned they will get alcohol poisoning.
I wonder if his motorcade was really held up by protesters or if they needed extra time to titrate his stimulants.
Who knows? How many shoes can you throw at that asshole?
/paging Imelda Marcos
She’s 94. It might take her a while.
This is ridiculous and wonderful. And one of the Klopeks in the first ten minutes.
It is. Absolutely a lost masterpiece of cheese.
Seriously. My favorite glib flick so far. Watching with my daughter and she is laughing her ass off.
Yay! This is one of my favorite films I never showed. Glad you appreciate it.
I hired you as a killer not a fashion designer. Get to robbing while I get to kissing..
I also took another bullet for you people and prostrated myself before the Altar of Altruism- I endured the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala and reported back.
Naturally, I was snot-slingin’ toilet-huggin’ drunk.
In the immortal word of Count Potato:
But why?
Masochism I suppose.
I really do appreciate it. I would rather you just watch B movies and have tall cans though. That is the secret of life.
They wasted a whole episode on her? For real?
How did the host survive?
And Joe opens with a joke like he’s on Kimmel Live.
Nothing says presidential like opening with a rimshot.
Well, this country is a joke, so that is a fitting way to start.
This movie has a great cast.
It does. There was another channel that aired a competing western called “The Villain” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, of all people. It is not the classic that this is.
Schwarzenegger was in a Western?
Sure was. Here is a link:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0080097/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_the%2520villain
Is it any good?
Not as good as this. In my humble opinion.
That’s quite a cast.
Hal Needham, of Smokey and the Bandit, directed it.
He did. It was billed as a live action Road Runner cartoon. I have seen it a few times. Might show it some day. It is not anywhere near the quality of tonight’s movie.
Ukraine cannot stop Russia in the long run, because even if they get enough money, weapons, and supplies, they don’t have enough men. When the war ends, Russia will need at least 20 years to rebuild its military.
Do you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?
As of today, there are 0 because the USSR doesn’t exist. Snark aside, their fertility rate is also below replacement, and their median age is 38 and rising.

Kamala’s expression makes me think her (((honkey))) husband is hitting her LoveSense™ vibrator from his laptop.
I just need to remind myself that I don’t live among these people anymore
Which people?
Government people?
Common people. Common people like you.
That’s some guitar.
“15 million new jobs in 3 years”
Does that count putting the people gov’t put out of work due to CoVID back to work ?
Yes
Every clap is timed by The Party… Over/under length on the finale?
They have applause cards.
Yes. I’m wondering how long the last one will be.
Clapping to Stalin’s speeches, etc…
CLAP OR DIE COMRADE
Castro could go on for hours without notes.
Why is that old man so angry and yelling at everyone?
Movie, or State of the Union?
That’s been my question this whole comment thread. It’s been glorious.
I died… of laughter. Thanks.
WHat’s happening to his face? Is this Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Had to dip out of that…hockey game coming on. Straight up campaign speech
A bit of strategic yelling for dramatic effect is part of oratory (e.g. Tear down this wall!). The amount Biden does is a sign of dementia.
I had three quotes all over the map from FDR, Lincoln and Reagan. Threaten SCOTUS. Claim his dad couldn’t put food on the table cause of ‘trickle-down economics’ Called anyone at J6 insurrectionist (should be an easy case to sue the government now in my world)…and I am out.
Look, I have two independent eyes. I am watching our movie, and Animaniacs with a group of 12 year olds, and state of the union. I can’t keep up.
Three televisions?
Two TVs and a laptop. Dizzying!
And I thought I was the masochist.
I find Pink Jacket w half black/orange hair amusing.

What about a short skirt and a long jacket?
My favorite!
It’s a studio song. The live versions are crap.
Love that bass hook.
I gotta rewatch “Chuck”. That was a solid show.
Agreed.
Shrinkflation! Jesus..I went back to this cause its like a train wreck in slow motion running over family member while your feet were incased in cement.
Sorry, MN high school hockey is on. Grand Rapids Thunderhawks vs White Bear Lake CakeEaters.
Enjoy! Tonight’s film will be out there a while. Normally I would say don’t worry about it, but tonight is worth saving and watching later.
Dom Deluise!
Yep! Surprise!
I’m also fond of the dude with the bright-blue, neon green…triangular shall ’round his back.
And the one bright red chick wearin’ her MAGA hat. And the ‘must’ shrinkflation joke and pat-on-the-back. I’m a performer. Professionally, publicly, privately. It would be POSSIBLE, but with much fun bouncin’ ’round my mind about the ludicrousness of such a nonsensical spectacle. Eruptive, shared laughter follows.
OH DEAR! HE’S FUMBLED!! FUMBLED!!
FUMBLED and… just goes completely off the rails in a completely different direction… and now several! DAMN!!!!
I will see the reports tomorrow. I hope it was epic!
I’ve got Evil Roy Slade open on youtube for later, no worries! Sounds perfect for me. Got off work, two hockey games on TV, then saw SOTU was on. Totally forgot it. Didn’t wanna watch. But it was whatever. And… damn. It’s just getting fucking hilariously goofy.
There are 16 countries that have more men reaching military age each year than Russia, and the US is #5 in the world in that metric after Pakistan, Indonesia, China, and India.
I like this Russian-born analyst’s opinion on the war in Ukraine:

As for the SOTU, I was expecting “fair share” to pop up. Oh, and he also blamed the national debt on tax cuts. And of course, inflation, the most regressive tax there is, is at a 40-year high.
Fair share…. wow, that was a blast from the past.
Ah yes, price controls. That’ll work. Great idea, Joe. No one’s ever thought of that before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_on_Maximum_Prices
When Diocletian gave his edict, a contemporary critic said he might as well have commanded the winds not to blow.
In case you didn’t see it, I am mailing your stuff tomorrow. It’s been a crazy week. It’s all boxed up and in the trunk of the car.
I look forward to getting it, and I’ll let you know when it arrives. Thanks again.
Weapons grade plutonium?
No. Some interview and job clothes. I do what I can.
Nixon tried price controls. How’d that go?
Whip Inflation Now!
Stunning that the democrats cheered price controls…
And apparently portion size controls and somehow a right of the feds to limit late fees to the cost of “initiating collections”?
And cap costs on everything. It was a wet-dream for statist to finally convert the last of our free-market ideals to marxist bullshit.
Fantastic. It worked so well he didn’t need to spy on his political opponents.
I believe his handler aims to beat Clinton’s SOTU speech length so they can trot out tomorrow his vigor and stamina. Any bets?!
The length is… impressive… yet his punchline flops with presidential impotence.
He gave the propagandist their marching orders and taglines that is all that matters. No different than any other president really.
Well. His Handlers told him what to do, same as every other admin ever, yes.
Many seemed purposeful. Especially when he went off-kilter. To buy time to catch a breath, read notes, whatever.
Without comment on the content, he’s doing well vs. the expectations. His favorable rating will go up a few points after this.
Hit his average speech length over the previous SOTUs he has given.
Agree. Best he has looked in public…. well, in a long time. Maybe since before he was elected.
At first, I thought so as well. Nothing much at all. Then he got into some off-the-cuff (?) tangents that spewed on into confusion. Other Party members looked bothered by it.
Human migration is hard to stop. At best, it can be managed. It should be fairly easy to visit, work, or study in the US. Just charge a fee for stays over 90 days. Getting a green card should be more expensive and citizenship more expensive still. It shouldn’t cost more than $1,000 or take more than 3 years to get a green card.
Also Joe, your Irish ancestors did not come to the US in chains, though the coffin ships earned their name.
Bizarre watching a guy whi sends border patrol officers to help illegal immigrants across the border demand that Republicans pass legislation so he can secure the border by processing more immigrants through the courts.
All FedGov agencies were mustered to volunteer at the border to process.
Apparently he has tried 200 different executive actions to stop illegal aliens after he turned on the taps. Nothing worked, because Soros pays aliens to run across the border. That won’t stop until Biden is gone.
The bill would have legislated the status quo into permanency.
Biden created this mess on the border by rescinding executive orders issued by Trump where there was in fact real progress made on reducing the number of illegals.
That is what made his hectoring about fixing the border so infuriating.
I cannot remember there ever being a time where such a high percentage of public discourse was people angrily advocating for bills that do the exact opposite of their label
I miss the days when egomaniacal despots just built pyramids and other such useless monuments. It stopped them from taking up even more ruinous projects and left something interesting for future generations to gaze upon.
Not as good as last week, but still amusing and great cast.
Thanks, RJ 🙂
Welcome! I’ll see you next week!
Wow. That was some fairly unhinged stream of consciousness shit….
One thing to note…all dignitaries he pointed out where right around Jill. One spot to remember. Turn left and point.
What did I miss? Walking to the kitchen to get a beer I saw Jugsy had “Mystery Men” on.
An under-rated comedy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5I94bT23cQ
Very much so…even if Dane Cook was in it briefly
Oh, it’s not underrated. That is a classic everywhere except the Hollywood Academy.
Young Janeane Garofalo was just cuter than a bug’s ear, and her early stand-up wasn’t too bad.
Then she opened her wang-warmer and started talking lefty politics. Immediate boner-killer.
Yeah, I was a huge fab. Damn shame.
Politics is basically evil. Too bad we can’t avoid it altogether.
Even early Rosie was funny* before she went 2000% lesbian and morphed into Michael Moore.
*1980s “Standup Spotlight” on HBO
Yeah, her entire personality flipped.
She had one of my favorite bits of all time about Latoya Jackson posing for playboy…
“If I had a body like Latoya Jackson, I’d be buck naked in the frozen foods section of Lowes going “look at me!!!!”
Pretty good stuff.
She did a good job making fun of her irish family. I had no idea her brother was an NY assemblyman.
Was Hunter home, sucking on cracky like a jaw-breaker, and watching chardonnay-loaded HRC and Pelosi speed-finger @ each other ?
Stay tuned and find out on another exciting episode of The Hat and the Hair or whatever we are calling it now next week!
I cannot recall…. I know Obama continually called out his “predecessor driving the bus into a ditch”…
Did Trump or Bush ever spend SOTU time attacking their putative general election opponent or predecessor?
It seems both beneath the dignity of the office and counter to electioneering laws.
Trump mentioned Obama once
“We eliminated the very unpopular Obamacare individual mandate penalty—and to give critically ill patients access to life-saving cures, we passed right to try. ”
Bout all I could find. Biden doesn’t fear Trump but sure mentions him a lot — which is the point of a campaign speech and will serve as his ‘debate’
Oh I just searched Obama…didn’t even see it was really Obamacare. So…no, they did not.
When Samuel Gompers was asked what he and the men in his union wanted, his answer was: more.
That’s basically what “fair share” means in terms of taxes.
It is actually a pretty brilliant turn of phrase, even if it is terrible policy.
It frames the discussion – what they are paying now is unfair, and they must pay more. We may now debate how much more….
The Green Berets will now have a permanent presence on Taiwan. Lovely. If there’s one thing that deters aggression, it’s a token force.
Is it a BIPOC transgender platoon?
You know who else had a token force…
Katie Britt from (R) ‘Bama doesn’t have much of an accent.
Yet she could potentially take the wrinkles out of my love-sausage.
Im not sure the breathy voice is good…and breaking, nearly crying doesn’t really present a strong message. Though it does try to reach for the heart-strings.
Good Lord she sounds like a nutjob. But she’d put a fuckin’ on you with that kind of enthusiasm.
Good luck breaking up with her though.
On the other hand..its a stark contrast between an old man yelling at you versus a young mom worried about the future. This was purely aimed at the moms that Trump struggles with.
She needs a new drama coach.
Those eyes and the commitment to her message pretty much tells me where she falls on the hot/crazy matrix.
On another note, I see Evil Roy Slade was written by Jerry Belson, who wrote and directed Jekyll and Hyde…Together Again.
Way more than that. He was incredible, This movie is a masterwork, but he also wrote for Dick Van Dyke, Tracy Ullman, and Drew Carey.
And also Garry Marshal. Laverne played a bank teller.
That’s a hell of a resume.
RJ? When are you gonna get down with the clown and feature an ICP western ?
Oh Good Lord. That is actually on Tubi.
I can’t believe it’s real.
Honestly looks pretty good.
Funny.
“There better be a stick of dynamite on page 9!”

Biden: “You see that empty spot right there? You make it say $50,000.”
“Sorry Im late but Ive been dragging my feet”
/shows up on a pony
Re-reading the transcript…Biden or his speechwriter really wanted to try and proclaim 2024 is 1941.
He wants this 2nd term to be a wartime administration.
This sounds like more Trump is Hitler. Yawn.
More
Okay….
I would say 2001 probably was closer to this reality.
My message to President Putin is simple. We will not walk away. We will not bow down. I will not bow down. History is watching, just like history watched three years ago on January 6th.
Quite the segue, but the real time delivery moved over this so quickly I don’t think many noticed it.
Biden is correct, but not in the way he intended.
I hear every word of his as a statement of exactly what the left is up to.
We need to smother democracy in its deathbed to save it! Like they do in Canada!
It’s benevolent fascism!
Democracy is too precious to be left in the unwashed hands of the masses!
I could do this all day. You could do 50 such statements on their views of free speech needing to be restricted to save democracy.

What a sheisskopf and, yeah, I’m sure he’s just fine.
That’s a Dummkopf, not necessarily a Scheißkopf.
Our totally independent researchers confirmed it.
I suspect there are more details about his medical condition that may make simply relying on his self-reports suspicious.

We need more Kamalas and Hillarys.
Now let’s check who people actually vote for.
‘Now, 68 percent of women think the country would be better off with more women in political office, while 46 percent of men believe the same.’
46 percent of men are simps.
My poll says that Americans love polls. It’s scientificeric.
Stated preferences versus revealed preferences. How many of those same people like working for female bosses?
We need more poledancers.
This is one of those third-rail topics that normal people should instinctively know to avoid.
Political office? They are sociopaths, who gives a fuck what their junk looks like?
No country governed by a woman has ever gone to war!!!
Except Hapshepsut, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, Empress Maude, Empress Dowager Cixi, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
They had to go to war to fight the oppressive male culture trying to steal away their rightful rule, not out of some latent desire to measure dicks with another ruler. \some college professor somewhere.
Nope, those goal posts are going right back where you found them.
See also Margaret Thatcher? (I was going to include Golda Meir, but I think she was more on the receiving end.)

Good morning, Sean, R.J., and U!
How goes?
Good! I’m just about done with month-end stuff at work…but that means I’ll have no excuse to avoid writing up the minutes of that quarterly committee meeting from last month… 😣 How about you?
I have a doctor’s appointment (regularly scheduled) this morning, then I took the rest of the day off. I want to get my currently started space elves finished.

Morning!
Good morning, OBE! Did I hear your handle mentioned while Viva Frei was reading some Rumble Rants last night??
Ha I did. I kicked out a buck but he glossed over the point. I get it, wrong venue to make it a point that SOTU is BS and should just be inlays/outlays and update on any declared wars sent to Congress in a memo.
Huh, a quick interweb search shows John Astin’s still alive. Good for him, the world needs all the funny guys it can get.
Astin is The One True Gomez Addams! Accept no substitutes!
This is true. He was perfect for that role.
And don’t get me started on Carolyn Jones (😃) vs, Anjelica Huston (😒)!
Anjelica did a great job. But she was like Joe Besser following Curly or Shemp. Very hard act to follow.
I remember seeing him show up on Night Court as the judge’s father and thinking it was neat that he was still around-seems like a likeable enough fellow.
I see they pumped Biden up with enough amphetamines and Aricept to get him through the SOTU. I hope they hide the nuclear football before they give him those cocktails.
That’ll keep you going through the show.
Come on, it’s time to go…
Nice!
It is fun to make those comments here and elsewhere…Repub talking heads took the bait and the propaganda is flowing that he is nothing shy of Herculean in his vigor.
People know the spin machine is a thing and I didn’t watch to be honest. Did he seem cranked up and angry occasionally bordering on unhinged or did he exhibit clear focus and mental acumen?
Oh it was a speech delivery of the ages. Weird inflection points, yelling when the words demanded more subtly, combative…really was a sight to behold.
Ah well, the Democratic spin machine won’t convince anyone then. Most of the public thinks he’s some degree or another of cognitively challenged and in this case confirmation bias works in the Rep’s favor.
Mechanic: “Sir, you have nearly every one of my guys wanting to buy your 2005 05 4Runner off you right now. There ain’t a lick of rust on this thing”

Let me guess, the total for the work comes to $30k?
Ha! That would have been funny. Nah seems like a decent enough shop.

A fine morning too. I work a half day and then relax.
Hosting Mrs. OBE sister-in-law and her daughter for dinner tonight. Chicken saltimbocca with some fondant potatoes and asparagus. That reminds me, I need to go to the store.
I have to say, most of these movies would not appeal to my wife and she didn’t think this one would, but I qued it up after the SOTU and she chuckled quite a bit, which is not in her nature.
