There is no more GOP.


Maybe is official on December 8, 2020, the day that Texas filed a lawsuit to overturn Democracy and a shockingly large number of Republicans in Washington supported it. OK, maybe that wasn't the exact day, maybe it became official on ...



January 6, 2021, when a shockingly large number of Republicans in Washington voted to object to the Electoral College vote affirmed Biden's win. That was also the date of the attempted coup, so if the death of the GOP wasn't official then, then maybe it was on ...



March 18, 2020, when a shockingly large number of Republicans in Washington successfully stalled a Congressional probe into the above-mentioned attempted coup. But if the party still had any breathe left in its body, then the true death rattle had to be ...



Today, when a shockingly large number of Republicans in Washington voted to remove Liz Cheney from power because she dared speak truth to power (something we Liberals never would've predicted this time last year).


To quote the still defiant Cheney:

 

“Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy.”

Escape From New York (1981)

  100 best Science Fiction films Popular Mechanics list #99. Escape From New York (1981)   If you are an SF Fan, and you’ve reached a certain degree of vintage in your chronological age, you get the pleasure of a secret smile with almost every passing year. You sit back and think of your favorite novels, TV shows, and films that were set in bold futures that, and when their anticipated years actually arrive, what didn’t come to pass amuses you. The real year of 1984 wasn’t much like George Orwell’s novel “1984” (first published in 1949). Or maybe you shed a tear, for exactly the same reason, like how the real year of 2001 wasn’t nearly as impressive as the one envisioned in Arthur C. Clarke & Stanley Kubrick’s novel and film “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968).   When I originally wrote this, humanity was trapped in-between the anticipated dates of two great, unrealized, SF Dystopias: “Blade Runner” ( released in 1982, taking place in 2019 ) and “Soylent Green”...

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

  100 best Science Fiction films Popular Mechanics list #84. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)     1.)          Introduction “But for many, the magic of ‘Star Wars’ is inseparable from the magic of the movies and, hey, that's no small thing. These movies make us lose ourselves in the spectacle. They make us forget our best instincts. They make us love the advertising as much as the art. They make us kids again.” n WJZ News, Baltimore   That unnamed Critic nailed it. I remember the first two films my parents brought me to an old-school Movie Palace, and I was blown away. Later, I realized they both films sucked (“Lost Horizon” (1973) and “International Velvet” (1978)) but experience of the massive theatre seduced me; in that moment I loved those terrible films far more than the clearly-superior cinema I’d already experienced watching TV.   When the first “Star Wars” came out (1977) I was...

The Tomb of Ligeia (1965)

  The Tomb of Ligeia (1965)   “‘The Tomb of Ligeia’  was vaguely based on an idea that Roger [Corman] and I had once. I had said I had always wanted to do a picture in a ruin, but actually using the ruin as an actual place, with real furniture in it and the ruin around it, which I thought would be very effective. This is sort of what he adapted to ‘ The Tomb of Ligeia ,’ which I think was the best one we ever did."  -- Actor Vincent Price   This was the last of the Roger Corman Directed Edgar Allen Poe adaptations, though not the last of the series from the Production Company AIP. Like most of Corman/Poe films, it was based on a story too short to flesh-out to feature-length with much fidelity to the source (originally published as “Ligeia” (1838)), but I gotta say, this one held onto more of the original story than some of the others and the most important difference outside the additional subplots and the Hero’s second marriage wasn’t loveless, ju...
