I didn’t even want to put “of all time” in the title of this posting, because I realized that if there’s anything harder than coming up with a list of Bad Movie Mothers, it’s limiting my list of Good Movie Mothers. There were so many to choose from, this list is going to be a…
The Worst (Movie) Mothers of All Time
There have been so many bad movie mothers that it’s hard to know where to begin with a list like this, so I tried to focus less on “bad moms” and more on “Bad Mothers.” What’s the difference? A “Bad Mother” is serious business and severe, possibly played by Nicole Kidman, and definitely representative of…
TV Reviews: Six, The Young Pope, Crashing, Feud
It’s beyond time I reviewed these shows that had their season finales a month (or more) ago, but don’t worry, later today they’ll be more current TV reviews, lists of the Best and Worst Movie moms, and even a list of the Most and Least Anticipated Summer Movies… The common thread of all four of…
Movie Review: “The Circle” When A Movie Can’t Properly Adapt A Great Book
A perfect example of why a movie reviewer should avoid reading the book a movie is based on–if they can–because I probably would’ve enjoyed this film (about an omnipotent tech company) much more if I hadn’t read the book. It’s true that when you really, really love a book that no movie can really adapt…
Movie Review: “The Fate of the Furious”…Does Charlize Theron Owe Back Taxes?
Life’s biggest questions: Is there a God?…What happens when you die?…What is the secret to life?…Why are “The Fast and the Furious” movies popular? Answers: Concepts of “God” are structured around an all-knowing and guiding being, and the creation of life (and millenniums of evolution) was probably much more random than that…I really doubt there…
Monday Morning Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy 2
The box office is huge, the reviews are ecstatic, and the Cinemascore grade from audiences is an “A.” So it’s safe to say nearly anyone will really love this movie, and even if I thought it was only good rather than great, that’s no small thing at all considering I haven’t truly loved any Marvel property…ever, and am just…
Reviewing Trump’s First 100 Days
How did Trump’s First 100 Days go? We haven’t seen success this big since the Hindenburg…
100 Reasons to Impeach Donald Trump
I consider this Alabama Liberal’s 95 Thesis, and instead of nailed to The White House door, perhaps quietly slipped into The Oval Office–perhaps by Pence himself. This list is in no particular order and obviously some reasons will be stronger than others… 1. We didn’t elect him. There has never been a sitting President who lost…
Residents of Georgia’s 6th Congressional District (Mostly North Atlanta), Please Vote
Just a reminder to any and all voters in Georgia’s 6th congressional district to please vote, and vote for Jon Ossof. Later today, we’ll have updates on who won and what it means for the future of congress and fighting Trump…
How Does Bentley’s Fall Change Things for Alabama’s 2018 Governor’s Race?
I’m really of two minds about disgraced Alabama Governor and amateur phone sex participant Robert Bentley’s resignation this week. On the one hand, he was a truly terrible Governor and by most accounts not a very nice person, the kind-of hypocrite that would talk about being a Christian as he’s denying Obama’s aid to the unemployed….
When British Actors Play Southern Roles
Featuring The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln, Billion’s Damian Lewis, Tom Hardy, Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam, and Sir Lawrence Cableton (“Larry the Cable Guy”). As seen in a “Selma,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Preacher,” “Genius,” “Cold Mountain,” “12 Years a Slave,” “I Saw the Light,” and a million other fucking examples…
How to Flip the South–State By State
Sure, I’ve posted videos today talking about how to win over Trump’s base and exploring why poor Southerners vote Republican, but how do we flip each state from red to blue? Here are at least some answers, ranking each state from “most flippable” to “hopeless.” Disqualified: Virginia and Oklahoma. Virginia is disqualified not because it isn’t part of the Southeast–it…
How Do You Flip Trump’s Base?
Alabama Liberal explains how you turn Trump’s base against him…
