The Antics of Alex Jones

[8bitagent]

My theory is that Charlie Sheen is angling for the lead in the upcoming Gary Busey biopic.

Will Randy Quaid and Mel Gibson get a supporting role?

[8bitagent]

They seriously need to have a spoof of Alex Jones on Saturday Night Live, would be so funny. The commercials could be(in a deep serious voice) "Every child in America needs to be armed to fight the new world order, and we here at American Eagle Rifle Company can make that happen", "remember, the elite have poisoned everything we ingest, try new Gold Standard Patriot water for extra longevity!", and "real Christian patriots use silver mountain organic soap. The best way to fight the new world order!"

You gotta love the classic 90's anti government white christian patriot militia repackaged as slick middle America conspiratainment package, where the spectre of UN troops and chemtrail spewing black helicopters has been traded for socialism and fema camps.

Charlie Sheen ... there's a huge conspiracy to label him as nutso.

Hang on there, brother, I'll give 50-50 the conspiracy is to make the next season premiere of 2 1/2 Men the highest rated in series history.

There's another recovery session for the Alex Jones-damaged going on at
"If only Charlie Sheen had a better 9/11 Truth Outlet"

Here we see the usual range of reactions. Some are still in full denial. Others cling to an earlier fondness before he went bad, or still credit him undeservedly with some past achievement. Few have got past him altogether. It's my responsibility to keep hitting you with the tough-love deprogramming. He was always like this. The man was always the show. It was always about demagogy and sales. He took advantage of you, of your honest desire to hear someone courageously speaking out about suppressed issues. He commandeered your righteous anger.

Eeps, I fear Sheen could really go over the edge now:

Police remove Sheen's boys from his home

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41861860

Police removed Charlie Sheen's twin boys from his Los Angeles mansion Tuesday night, the actor told NBC News.



"This is not the America I grew up in," he added.

RadarOnline.com reported a judge ordered the twins, Bob and Max, who turn 2 this month, removed because they must be returned to their mother, Brooke Mueller, who filed for divorce from Sheen in February.

Both children were with Mueller, her mother, Moira Fiore, told E! late Tuesday.

The "Two and a Half Men" star has said he wants full custody of the twins.

"My fangs are dripping tiger blood," Sheen told RadarOnline.com.

On his new Twitter account, Sheen tweeted late Tuesday: "My sons' are fine... My path is now clear... Defeat is not an option..!"

Strangely, Charlie Sheen has done a lot to define the generation of Americans I grew up in. And no, I actually have never seen 2.5 men. I'm talking about his early shit when I was an adolescent and teen.

Stranger still, look at his dad and brother, Emelio Estevez. Dad killed it in Apocalypse Now and later on as the Prez on West Wing, defining the Vietnam generation. Emelio killed it in Breakfast Club, which also helped to totally define this now aging generation.

Don't you, forget about me.



If Hugh would refrain from some of the CIA shit, I would like to hear some dirt on the Sheen/Estevez connections.

[8bitagent]

I definitely find both Apocalypse Now and Breakfast club to be magical, milestone movies I never tire of watching(tho Ive only seen each a few times)
The crazy thing about A-Now, is that Coppola wanted to film it in Vietnam as the war was still going on. The final leg of the river journey reminds me
of modern day footage out of Juarez Mexico, though I wonder who the colonel would be(I love the 1991 documentary making of Heart of Darkness)

And there's no doubt Breakfast Club is widely considered Hughe's seminal work. I honestly see nothing in media or entertainment that helps define today's youth...probably because today's youth
are simply void of anything outside of fidgety texting and polygonal video games.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Charlie Sheen cameo as Bud Fox in Wallstreet the sequel last year, I guess it's hard not to be taken out of the hypnosis of the film given the Charlie we now know.
But Wallstreet definitely follows the zeitgeist like A-Now and Breakfast Club did.

HEY! That's not Breakfast Club, it's Estevez as Otto in Repo Man, after the repos offered him a can of beer (generic) for having inadvertantly helped them nab a car, pouring it out on the floor of their office. He says he doesn't like repo men. They do a routine they have ready where one of them asks, "you know what kid?" and all say in chorus: "You're all right!"

Breakfast Club sort of had that effect on me for a few days, since I was not long from high school when I saw it, but it doesn't withstand a second viewing.

The movie I must admit changed or reinforced my world-view was Repo Man.

Okay, do one of you write for MSN entertainment?

Don't You (Forget About John)
By Mary Pols
Special to MSN Movies

Over 20 years later, do the classic teen flicks of John Hughes hold up?

Never mind that Michael Dowse, the director of "Take Me Home Tonight," and Topher Grace, its star and the guy with his name in the credits under "story" were, respectively, 11 and 6 when John Hughes' classic "The Breakfast Club" was released. Dowse and Grace are turning back the clock with "Take Me Home Tonight," a comedy with Hughesian aspirations. It's set in the mid-'80s and, just as Hughes so often set his stories within a compressed time frame (Saturday detention, a 16th birthday, a day of hooky), this story also revolves around a single event: a wild and crazy Labor Day party. Among the attendees are Matt Franklin (Grace), his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris), Matt's delinquent friend (Dan Fogler) and, of course, an elusive dream girl (Theresa Palmer). Matt just graduated from college, so maybe we're supposed to think this is what a John Hughes movie set in the post-college years would have been.

We'd never dare to get our hopes high enough to think "Take Me Home Tonight" would rank with the best of Hughes, but before we let our natural tendency toward snobbery influence us too much, we decided to rewatch our six favorite 1980s John Hughes films and see how they'd hold up under close scrutiny. The answers surprised us. Here's how they fared.

I hate John Hughes. His movies are mostly garbage and he defined everything that sucked about the 80s (and continues to). His films are mean-spirited, racist, homophobic, sexist trash and I have no idea why people look back at them with nostalgia. All the adults/parents portrayed in his films are awful or ignoramuses. All the kids were embarrassed by their parents if they drove shitty cars or lived in a shitty house. Apparently black people didn't exist in Chicago in the 80s... I could go on and on.

Hughes Sucks.

I remember thinking, when his films were coming out, of all those new-wave bands that had made their 'deal-with-the-devil' to bring their music to a wider American audience.
