Bye bye career. Although they sort of let Nick Cannon have his job back after pulling this poo poo last year. I wouldn’t really call that success though.

I wonder what proportion of hollywood is into nazi poo poo and gives money to far-right groups. I alway think about Steve Bannon being a producer with a stake in Seinfeld, or about how Ben Shapiro is from a Hollywood family and wanted to be a screenwriter.

Anyone really famous would likely be bounced pretty quick. Behind the scenes people might get away with it. Little Ben’s parents are only on the periphery of the movie industry, and he just plain failed to break in at all.

On the other hand it seems like it wasn’t a huge secret that Gibson was a racist lunatic, and still kept getting chances after it became incredibly public. He just lost his chance to be in Chicken Run 2 after Winona Ryder told the media that he’d called her an “Oven dodger” back in the mid-90s.

And was just nominated for being "Judas" in Judas and the Black Messiah. And is incredible in Atlanta (the best current show on TV?). And was also incredible in Sorry To Bother You. Him being weird is unsurprising, but being a dumb rear end in a top hat is disappointing

Isn't That Right, Chairman?



My middle school used to do a 'Squid Day' for sixth graders (which was actually split over two days) where everyone would go from teacher to teacher and each teacher would spend like an hour teaching us something about squids or doing something squid related. One teacher had us dissecting squids, another cooked calamari for us, the cranky old teacher that no one liked just had us reading a paper on squids and then writing an essay about it.

Anyway each class got to make two stops in the library, one on the first day and one of the second, and each day we'd watch half of 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which pretty much everyone agreed was the highlight of the whole thing.

I should see if that's on Disney+ and see if it holds up.

I was born in a town that has an annual festival dedicated to tuna, so it wouldn't surprise me.

There was also a Japanese town that used their covid funds to build a giant squid statue.

Elementary school: Annual pre-Christmas Break screening of the Don Bluth short “The Small One”, which they had on Actual Film rather than a VHS. Also “Annie”, “Hoosiers”, “Willy Wonka”, “Clash of the Titans”, a biopic about “Pistol” Pete Maravich for some reason, the deeply upsetting “The Boy Who Could Fly”, and a “Just Say No to Drugs” thing with Kirk Cameron taking over a classroom from a teacher who licks a piece of chalk and is now addicted to drugs somehow? Tuesday After-School was essentially lawless and would put on anything from “Little Shop of Horrors” to the “Garbage Pail Kids” movie to “Howard the Duck”. Because talking animals (and plants) = Okay for children.

Middle/High School: We took field trips to the Winona Ryder “Little Women” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus”. We watched the 60’s “Romeo and Juliette”, as is apparently tradition, as well as a couple After-School Specials in Literature. “The Breakfast Club”, “Sybil” and “Wired” (yes, the insane Belushi biopic) in Psychology, and “Outbreak” in Biology, which was the one and only movie we had to get permission slips signed to watch.

Just went down a hole catching on wtf Wired was holy lol

At least there were a few interesting things in the Tonya Harding story, even if the movie wasn’t that good outside of Allison Janney. Grendels Dad just summed up the entirety of the Tommy Lee/Pam Anderson thing.

They dumped Jessica Biel a few seasons in for doing some magazine photos where she wasn’t naked but wore shorts or something, and then she went on to do Blade III and ultimately what is her finest work: the commentary track for Blade III dvd.

The dad being a pedophile the whole ten years or however long it was is a profound irony that presaged other horrors associated with weird religious tv shows that try to appear normal. Mostly more pedophiles, I guess.

He played a villain in Boss Level.

Apparently being a villain is a lucrative career for an actual monster.

I grew up in Connecticut and the actual USS Nautilus submarine is a museum ship here, and when you enter the building they have a giant model of the Disney Nautilus hanging overhead, and I still would kill for a copy of that. Love that design.

I believe he was also the villain in Machete Kills which was a kind of similar role of villain mastermind.
