How did he turn into Ivan Drago?

[Johnny Carwash]

Now that he's white again he can commit assault in public without repercussions.

[DSafetyGuy]

The hands are so heavy.

[duff]

Super punches!

[brian]

Rae Dawn dating him at the end is the cherry on the shit sundae.

[Giff]

It's like he was green all along (hulk joke).

[DSafetyGuy]

This motherfucker had dorky, parted on the side hair two minutes ago and now that she's interested again, it looks a lot better.

[brian]

My wife's assessment -- "Two hours of my life I can't get back."

[DSafetyGuy]

Okay, everyone. Time for shots of Clorox.

[duff]

It was either this or watching The Bachelorette from 2010 with the wife and girls. I made the wrong choice.

[brian]

I'm still game for Savages next week. It can't be this bad.

[Johnny Carwash]

Oh shit, Ron Reagan?!?!?

And no other comment on him being in this shitshow while his dad was president?

[duff]

Okay, everyone. Time for shots of Clorox.

We don't have covid!

[Giff]

Checking out Django since it doesn't count against my borrowed count for the month on Hoopla.

[duff]

Suddenly it's magic!

It's not this bad, I just think something a little more fun would be good.

ETA: Like, how did we even come around to watching this again?

[bapo!]

Not ideal, but still an enjoyable evening. Had fun with the thread. Thanks, guys.

And I'm sure I've learned something tonight, but I'll have to figure out what that is.

Quit stealing my bon mots!

Might be my fault, but it came up somehow and then it came up again and then the thought was it might not even be viewable here before too long (which wouldn't be a loss of course).

It might be, "Please do not remake Soul Man, no matter how many pieces the Russian mafia promises to cut you into."

Fucking re-read your first post when I was looking up the writer, too.

[rass]

White Chicks is on Hoopla is anyone wants to even this out with some whiteface.

[bapo!]

I checked IMDb, and I read that Rae Dawn Chong sang one of the songs on the soundtrack. I was going to point it out, but then I never noticed it. Anyway, she sang one of the songs.

[brian]

Let's do The Running Man next week. Seems like a good as time as any for a post-apocalyptic wasteland where corporations and a fascist state control all entertainment.

[bapo!]

That 'Rate This Title' window is still open on my computer. It's causing inner turmoil.

Not available on Hoopla though the soundtrack album is!

This works, pushing "Savages" back a week.

Don't. Properly rating it will burn a hole in your hard drive.

[brian]

Ironically, you know what IS available on Hoopla?

The Apartment. I might watch that to wash the bad taste out of my head.

[brian]

Watching an episode of The Love Boat S1 (1978) and Desi Arnez Jr is wearing...Fila

[bapo!]

Years ago, I bought a couple of Fila t-shirts and Fila tennis shorts that I still own and wear a lot. They've been thru the wash 6-12 times per year for 20 years, and they're still holding up just fine. Strangely, these are the only Fila products I've ever bought.

[rass]

I bought some Fila running socks at some point years ago (great deal on Woot!) and they pretty much sucked (too thin) and just sat around in one of my dresser drawers despite never wearing them because I never throw things away and I've actually been using them the past 3 weeks when using the stationary bike every day while it's still too snow-covered and icy to safely run.

[rass]

Jumping channels and trying to avoid the news I came across what the summary described as a 1974 episode of the Dick Cavett show featuring Carol Burnett, Mark Linn Baker and Spike Lee. The year was enough to get me to stop (seems to actually be from late 1986) and I turned it on just as Lee was being introduced. 2:40 or so for the relevant discussion, but the lead up is fun, too.

[rass]

While we're waiting, and this seems on-topic, I'll mention that I read Rachel Dolezal's autobiography a few years ago. Remember her? It was...an experience. She sounded like a troubled person who had experienced trauma, and that was a place she went to in her head to escape or soothe herself. She also seemed to get herself involved in a lot of lawsuits.

[The Sybian]

Is that Rachel Dolezal?

About two weeks ago I got a call from a manager; one of her employees asked if her Only Fans account violated the Firm's outside employment policy. I told the manager to go through all the videos to make sure there is nothing with Firm branding present in any of the content. She told me to fuck off. I didn't want to know which employee asked, but I have a very good idea.

[P.D.X.]

That's one way to get more followers.

Way to dead-name her, dude.
