Looking back over the past four years it seems I tried a double feature every year. What the heck, I decided to make it an annual event starting this year. And this year I wanted it to be a tough choice! So tonight, you have your choice of two great films:
My Name is Bruce: Everyone’s favorite chin, Bruce Campbell, does the directing and acting duties for this comedy/ horror film. Bruce is assumed to be just as awesome in real life as his character “Ash.” He gets called in to save a town from an angry Chinese god of death who was guarding a mine. You know, that old chestnut. If you love Bruce and Evil Dead, you may like this film. He does a lot of self-denigrating humor in this and even my wife enjoyed it*. For those of you who do not enjoy this, read on…
They Call me Bruce?: Do you despise Bruce Campbell? In that case, please watch this fantastic comedy starring Johnny Yune instead! Johnny is nicknamed “Bruce” by the Americans around him because of a slight resemblance to Bruce Lee. I get it, I am called out for a slight resemblance to Drew Carey all the time. Somehow Johnny ends up working for gangsters during this film, for reasons I shall not spoil, and hilarity ensues! Damn near every ethnic stereotype is lampooned in this film and I assure you, it is fantastic. As I read through reviews on IMDb for this film, maybe one out of ten reviews pointed out how they “just could not enjoy the humor” because raycism! Hahaha! That shows you how whiny marxists are about their sacred cows. The incredible number of voluntary positive reviews tells you how awesome this film is and what a wet blanket commies are. Don’t let the Karens keep Johnny Yune’s work hidden. Enjoy it and share it!
Heck, maybe you will be up late watching two films!
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Just a remind that Netflix can suck it, your best movie entertainment value is right here at Glibertarians. I am leaning towards posting Fortress next week before I go into Halloween and then the special requests. I admit I am still struggling to make the schedule for the rest of the year.
*The wife usually participates in movie night once a month. She isn’t that disapproving of my tastes.
I guessed half of it.
Which one?
The Bruce one.
They Call Me Bruce
Which I’ve seen, so I’ll watch the Campbell one.
“She isn’t that disapproving of my tastes.”
Well, she did marry you.
The fool!
And Bean Curd. God of Death and Bean Curd!
Yes, I have seen “My Name is Bruce”
Tofu Yama Tofu?
Yea, I could’ve done a better job on the intro.
Thanks RJ!
I’m going to have watch these another time, I have some stuff that needs to get done around the house tonight.
Re libertarianism from dedthred, because I cannot wait 23 more minutes. I ran across this the other day and was frantically looking for it.
Rando Twitter person:
Travis Corcoran:
And yes, that’s where I’ve been for the past couple of years. I started to figure this out when I built a forum community based on free speech and it rapidly spiraled out of control.
Was it here?
Can one tulpa with 100 different sockpuppets really be considered a spiral out of control? Its all just one person talking to himself.
Mine sure did.
No? I didn’t build this place.
” I cannot wait 23 more minutes”
No rules on Thursday nights.
Yes! No rules!
Looks like you’ve got a literary rival, Mojeaux.
No, just No.
THAT’S HILARIOUS!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074CF76JT
… Okay so it is intentional comedy. Book 5 really gives it away.
I love that! Conquered by Clippy should be a T-Shirt.
It took you until Book 5 to figure out it was intentional comedy?
Yes.
People are weird. I can see it as being a rule 34 thing.
That’s where I am on drugs and drug users.
There’s no reason negative externalities* can’t be compensated for in a minarchy, you know.
*The ones that violate someone’s rights and cause actual damages, of course. I suspect most of these would fall under the common law rubric of “nuisance”.
Under what conditions would this minarchy exist? I ask, because a “nuisance,” ill defined, could get into the weeds in short order. Dude’s free use of and on his own property infringes on everybody else. 🤷♀️
Sam Raimi ‘bothers’ me. His early shit, Evil Dead /II, especially Army of Darkness are good fun. Quick and the Dead is also stupid, but it’s entertaining. I think I recall the first Spiderman being kinda exciting. (I was ~13.) Different for the time. The sequels cemented the reality that Raimi had gone to shit. Or $. (Both!)
Evil Dead II needs a rewatch, from me. Been a long, long while.
Sam was unavailable for My Name is Bruce, so one of his brothers plays three roles.
Cleopatra 2525 is awesome.
When studios hand you a zillion dollars for a movie, it comes with a lot of strings. Enjoy his early work where he had creative control and forgive the big budget films. He dis bot have total creative control on those.
Did not. I haaaaaaaate typing on a phone screen!!!!
Routinely happens.
Evil Dead II is awesome.
…I don’t get it.
It’s the Asian Clint Eastwood from The Dragon Lives Again. The music would play and everything when he walked on screen.
Also I was hoping to cheer Swiss with something silly.
I haven’t caught every episode.
That one was high Absurdist art. Someday you should go back and watch it.
But I’m not a fan of absurdism. It’s Absurd.
“But I’m not a fan of absurdism. It’s Absurd.”
True, but you don’t seem a fan of reality, either. It’s real.
Woah. I opened the Tubi app on my TV and this movie was my first choice. Somebody is on to us.
That’s freaky.
If you do, there’s something wrong with you.
Agreed but I shall not judge.
First time I got her to watch My Name is Bruce, she was unfamiliar with Bruce Campbell and didn’t enjoy or understand it, while it was an instant favorite for me.
I have worked on expanding her horizons, we watched the Ash vs the Evil Dead, which was great except the ending.
I then got her to watch Army of Darkness and Bubba Ho-Tep, plus she knew him from Hercules, Xena, and Burn Notice.
And she didn’t think I knew fine art!
Bubba Ho Tep I showed in… 2022? Still one of my favorite films. I have it on DVD somewhere with commentary.
It was awhile ago, and it took awhile after that to convince her to watch it with me.
She said she was surprised how funny it was.
Black JFK is one of my favorite characters ever.
This.
Bruce in Burn Notice using the alias Chuck Finley.
Burn Notice was a lot of fun.
The cast seemed like they enjoyed making it too. Serious hams.
Gabrielle Anwar still takes the wrinkles out of my love-sausage.
Figured she would be way too skinny for you.
She had totally fucked up her face with surgery by that point.
She was lovely when younger.
OT from ded thread/ the last week: I didn’t know who Kirk was, only learning of his influence, after.
1: Great work, just going to campuses and talking to ’em. Apparently, purposefully civil.
2: The one I knew who does this, IMO quite well, is “Change My Mind” by ‘Louder with (Steven) Crowder.’ I don’t follow it, but the (likely cream of the crop) bits I’ve seen were well done.
lol You’re too old to be his target audience.
(Have you ever heard that before?)
Fair enough, and rather the opposite! I’m well-aware I’m a youngin’, and I kinda still keep getting reminded of it.
Apparently I’m too old to be the target audience for Pokemon Games… but they are among the few where I reliably play them to plot completion. (screw that “catch ’em all” crap.)
I’m well-aware I’m a youngin’, and I kinda still keep getting reminded of it.
It’s funny because we’re roughly the same age, and most days I feel old as dirt. Having two little girls with infinite energy bouncing around the house really alters the perspective.
Never played one second of any of them. 🫤
That’s okay, Rhy. You’re too old to be the target audience.
😛
This is why the Uncle-dom is key. I get the grandpa treatment but still young (enough) to fully enjoy it.
A casual scheme of mine made flesh. Kinda lovely when things work out like that. So it (sometimes) goes. I do believe I’ll relish and take as much advantage of this opportunity as possible! ‘Treat me like Dad, but I ain’tcha papa.’ Suits me well.
“The wife usually participates in movie night once a month.”
It helps with menstrual cramps ?
Hahaha! Maybe that is why!
LOL
A friend told me his wife said screwing was a good way to relieve the cramps. We tried it and sure enough…
Not sure how screwing your friend would help, but whatever works for you.
The fact that you’re still friends is impressive.
Have to spell everything out with you pervs!
Speakin’ of youngin’s: So fantastic Uncle Moments with the youngest, just 5yo, the last couple days. Yesterday and full family going-out meal, he chooses to sit next to me and have me help him go over everything. Yeah. But after /mid meal he got nappy and cozily nestled against me.
Today at the eldest’s cross country meet, the youngin’ immediately found me and we had our fun little standing -wrestling play.
THEN, dammit: He was running and headbutting against my clenched abs. Cool! He also nicked his head against my belt, to some pain, but then he had to have playtime vengeance.
“I’M GONNA TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS!”
So he’s trying to get my belt off and get my pants down, while saying all this at an event with a couple hundred kids + parents, etc. Odd choice of words. And this just kept going. He added color to the phrasing so it wasn’t repetitive, but it was his fun game (he was bound to lose).
Having my youngest nephew kinda demand I take my pants off in public to play with him? Huh. Well. Yucky. I felt like OMWC at a kindergarten splash pad, only lacking his exuberance.
(Dad commented I should be proud of the bond I’ve formed with him. I quite believe I am. (It helps he’s the most like me. And that I’m actually Stateside, this time.))
brah
teh ghey
“I’M GONNA TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS!”
“Not now! Not here!”
(“Shit, that came out wrong”)
I remember kid-sitting brother and sister toddlers when I was around 12.
The girl was nice but the boy was an absolute monster. Like throwing shit at me monster.
YMMV
That’s bad parenting.
Throwing stuff is swiftly punished in my household and this doesn’t occur.
Mojeaux: TOS had an interesting piece in its last dead tree issue about romantasy/faerie smut which I thought you MIGHT be interested in. It’s still behind a paywall but, if I remember, when it becomes open access I’ll link to it.
Thanks, RJ. Appreciate these every week. My college age daughter and I watched Evil Roy Slade and make jokes about it all the time
Where’s the rest of your hat? 😆
Awesome. Glad to hear it!
I was able to con my wife into Evil Roy Slade and she liked it. That and The Spirit of ’76, which she initially said she didn’t like, but then confessed she did when I went to turn it off.
I’m 95% certain I saw “They Call Me Bruce?” in the theater. Timing is about right.
This just popped into my head:
“Look at my eyes; I am an Oriental!”
purely from memory, from 40+ years ago (assuming that’s right). Don’t ask me what I had for lunch two days ago…
I saw the two links and assumed tonight was about Bruce Jenner. How wrong I was.
We don’t deadname around here.
To me, he’ll always be CHP officer Steve McLeish
In Battletech I keep one Jenner prepared for when I need a fast ‘Mech. I name it Bruce.
Whoa! That brings back memories.

Alright: I need to get a private pilot’s license. I want to own a gyroplane.
You say: you couldn’t possibly afford one, and I say: I’m buzzing your house bruv
60 knots… due northeast… land in a field… god help up all
I didn’t think you needed one for that.
Only ultra light ones. Kinda rare.

@michaelmalice
You soulless conservatives cheering on what happened to Jimmy Kimmel haven’t stopped to think about Jimmy’s wife and children
They now have to spend more time with Jimmy Kimmel
No one deserves that

Awake and beginnerh the Glibbening.
Clocked in. Hope today goes as swiftly as yesterday. Kick ass y’all. Crush should be wanderin’ round.. hrm..
I’m off today, going up to the mountains again….
Last day before a 5-day weekend. I thinking of going on a bender.

It is 5am here. Good timing. The doc’s office opens in 3 hours so I will have an hour to spare.
Happy Friday, unless you’re a commie, then fuck off.

Mornin’, reprobates!
Good morning, ‘patzie, Sean, Suthen, Ted’S., and EfE, and good afternoon, Pie!
Morning all.
Wife has the TV on….Post Obama interviews…Biden, Harris, Waltz, Jill, Hunter etc are the topic.
I notice that all of this looks exactly like a Mob gang going to prison after all of the investigations and trials are over. All of those shitbags are pointing their fingers at all of the other shitbags. It wasnt me! They did it!
Another note: There are too many bleeps on the TV. What happened to propriety? As a society we seem to have lost respect. *strokes grey beard, shakes fist* I am tired of seeing people in the grocery store in their pajamas and hearing newscasters curse.
Men used to wear a jacket and tie to fly on a plane.
lol Fuck propriety.
Was just watching one of the Squad go on a spittle-flecked rant at a black conservative. I love it. Show us exactly who you are. The more they open their mouths the more America gets an earful of what your team is really all about.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody

“Last week, the California Department of Motor Vehicles requested that Isis Wharton, 26, change the phrase “IAMISIS” on her white Kia, fearing that it could be misunderstood as an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Wharton said she received permission to use the license plate in 2022 and pushed back on the DMV’s request. She claimed authorities allowed her to renew her vanity plates every year with no issue.”

Wasn’t there a TV show?
*raises cofefe*
I have a feeling my surgeon must be very good.
He also did the bone graft previous to the implant. The first data point is he inserted the IV himself, painlessly, on the first try. The NEVER happens.
Also, all the “expect the following bleeding/swelling/general trauma responses issues” have failed to occur.
Two implants here, and never had an IV…
‘Harris” new book: “One of her aides peeled “Madame President” off celebratory cupcakes before serving them to crushed staffers. Harris kept asking, “My God, my God, what will happen to our country?”’
Jesus fucking Christ. Constant fretting, always past 11. Teeeeeesdiooooous. And endless. No self awareness at all.
In other news: the sunrise is nice and rosy -glowy.
I’m tempted to go to the Cincinnati Oktoberfest. Just to see the wiener dog racing.
