There are a lot of beautiful women in Hollywood, but there are also a lot of scary woman there too. You know the woman that you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley. These women that you wouldn’t want to be trapped in a room alone with. They are women that may hurt you if you were to piss them off, some of them may actually even be men. Here are the women who scare us.
These are the worst lines uttered by humans in the infamous classic Return of the Jedi. Certain ones are missing – the Chewie Tarzan yell and the Sy Snoodles “uh oh”, for instance – because those are just obviously dumb. These are actual lines of dialogue that were written on the page for humans to speak in order to drive the story forward – yet they became a distraction by their awfulness.
As Chris eluded to to in his last post, the Rolling Stone list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time is an absolute atrocity. The biggest problem I have with this is that Rolling Stone’s word is so highly revered. Of Course, it’s only highly revered by those who have little to no music knowledge and those who have their asshole reamed by Rolling Stone on a constant basis. All list are just opinion, but when your opinion is printed in the “Holy Book” of music it should come with some responsibility.
You should actually try to but a list of the “best”, not a who’s who of artsy performers that you consider influential. One of the most common phrases used to describe these greatest singers is “influential”. Ozzy Osbourne was influential, shouldn’t he be on the list then. They even tell you that one artist, Solomon Burke never had a crossover hit. While I don’t think a big hit makes you a great singer, I do think that a great singer should have a big hit. I mean, if your that damn good wouldn’t your songs be. Now on to the list and my thoughts.
Just a few comments on the newest abortion of a “best of” list by the good people at Rolling Stone. First of all, I truly do understand, as most of us do, what they are trying to accomplish by making these stupid lists; Sell more magazines. It’s capitalism at its finest. Fine, they have every right to do so. My problem comes in when they consider their own mutilated opinions as gospel. Just because this publication says it doesn’t make it so. Rolling Stone sitting high on its throne in the palace that Dylan built, does not neccesarily know what is best for its music loving subjects. True music fans shouldn’t need a magazine to tell them what’s good. Good music is felt through the ears and the heart, not the wallet.
With that out of my system on to the list. (more…)
With less than a week to go in the American Presidential race, The Times in London is running a series of articles detailing a list of Presidents, ranked worst to best. The list is culled from the choices of a large group of historians and journalists.
Their choice for worst President of all time? James Buchanan (1857-1861), who presided over the build-up to the Civil War by unwisely shoving a thumb up his ass. Other notable fuckheads include the infamous Richard Nixon (of course) and, at only number 33 of 42, the incomparably bad George W. Bush.
For my money, the worst President in American history is (more…)
