In the 2010s, it seemed like science-fiction (and fantasy) dominated movies, and it was sometimes hard to find wide-release movies that weren’t sci-fi. So being the “best” at what was–by far–the most popular genre of movies is no small feat. It would be a little bit like being the “best” Western movies of the 1950’s…

If Republicans Only Care About G.I.A. (Guns, Immigration, Abortion), Political Correctness, and Taxes–They’re Basically little Kids
“How can we understand a Republican mindset?” It’s not hard to figure out… Guns, immigration, abortion, political correctness, and taxes. Other than absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theories, these are the only five things I ever see Republicans talk about (they love the first one and they hate the other four). It’s tiresome, if I’m being honest….
Truths that Republicans Must Accept to Become Happy
—That they are not under attack. The country has just shifted from their values and quietly moved on without them. But being (willingly) left behind is not the same thing as being attacked. —That they (primarily white people) are not just as threatened as minorities. And also… —That they are under no real threat from minorities. —That Trump’s support…
Who is the Closest to Being the Real Life Lex Luthor?
While there’s a lot of good candidates (the Koch Brothers, for example), I think the three top choices are…Trump, Jeff Bezos, and Vladimir Putin. Trump…He’s the most obvious and top candidate. A lot of people like Lex Luthor and can’t see how evil he is no matter how many times Superman catches him doing something…
Raising the Minimum Wage (Obviously) Helps the Economy
The dynamic around raising the minimum wage has been “it’s the right thing to do for people” vs. “it’s the wrong thing to do for the economy” since forever, but it’s actually the right thing for both. Businesspeople only look at raising the minimum wage as “but I have to pay 25% more in labor…
Bubba Takes Trump’s Loss Hard
Not even Bubba’s beloved Crimson Tide winning another National Championship (suck it Yale!) can lift his spirits in a world where Trump has left office (allegedly!) and one of the women from “Black Panther” has become Vice President. In Biden’s socialist dystopia, he’s in a bonafide funk
Trump’s Base Will Turn on Him
By using the personal example of Bush’s cult evaporating, Alabama Liberal explains that Trump’s base will forget him and eventually whisper that he was never really “one of them” anyway…if only Republican leaders and the media would let them.
Three Things That Can Help Unity and Healing This Nation
The themes of Biden’s inauguration were (essentially) compassion, competency, and healing the very real divisions that Trump spent four years exacerbating. But can real unity be achieved? It never has been before (infighting has been around since the days of Adams and Jefferson or the fatal duel of Hamilton and Burr), but things could certainly…
Of Course, MLK Jr. Would Be a Democrat Today
It was quite strange to see all of the “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t support today’s Democratic Party” tweets and postings on MLK Day, especially since it was only a few days before the Inauguration of Joe Biden and a couple of weeks after Neo-confederates received clear Republican backing to try to decapitate congress….
Every 2020 Movie Ranked and Graded
Even if very few movies received a wide theatrical release this year, that doesn’t mean there were any less movies to watch or that there was even that much of a difference in quality. Here now, Alabama Liberal’s annual countdown of the year’s movies from worst to best… The Worst Movie of 2020: “Antebellum”…There were…
Best TV Series of 2020
If you live in an area that was locked down, watching TV was about all there was to do in 2020. Luckily, there were more TV shows than ever to watch, and at least a few dozen of them were pretty good. [And for the first time ever, this year’s list is compromised entirely from…
TV’s Best Moments of 2020
A TV “moment” could be a scene, an arc, or an entire episode. Ultimately, these are just TV sequences that stuck out in my mind this year. Best Action Sequences on “ZeroZeroZero”…Some of the best action sequences of the year took place on this frustrating Amazon Prime series involving the complications of an international cocaine…
The Best TV Characters of 2020
I just listed worst TV characters of 2020, and now let’s get to the best… Best All-Around Characters: “Mrs. America”…This amazing miniseries is a victim of its own success since it actually has too many great characters to pick just one. Almost every episode follows a different main character and is a brilliant way to…
