"I kill you!" is Jeff Dunham's dead terrorist puppet's catchphrase, clearly Trump had been watching stand-up

I know Megalopolis is a hot mess but I do have some respect for people bringing their own thing together. Sometimes it works, often times it doesn't. I'd rather that then retired tactical person who has to save a family member or the nth transformers film.

- I saw the other Aubrey Plaza movie in theaters this weekend, My Old Ass. It was OK. She's barely in it. That theater was also nearly empty.

- Zachary Levi's in Joe Carnahan's next joint, Not Without Hope, based on what sounds like an interesting true story. I wonder if any of his fellow actors will have thoughts about him. There's precedent. https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/frank-grillo-slams-copshop-editing-performance-1234665768/

- Befitting Trump, that kinda sounds like a half-remembrance of the opening of Con Air, but is indeed more likely a scene from a random Law and Order he saw ten seconds of once.

Are we the same person? I also saw My Old Ass next to just an older couple that only laughed once. It’s true that i felt slightly misled that it was a coming-of-age more than a stonery buddy movie but i was charmed. Great location

Yes, I wanted to visit that corner of Canada immediately. Surprise Canadian movie!

Oh hell yeah, say what you will about the people and the politics of Ontario (or of literally any and everywhere else in Canada, I guess) but 90% of that province is fuckin' GOD'S country, it's gorgeous. #eatshitbc

Alf, are you fucking high? Northern Ontario (aka 70% of the province) is bush and rocks and black flies, and the GTA is endless. I'll give you the thousand islands and Niagra peninsula, and maybe Georgian Bay. 20% tops.

Is that where the salad dressing is from?

I wouldn't know about any of this stuff. I'm from America. Pittsburgh, actually.

Well I've spent my whole life tromping around all that bush (Vince's mom can attest to this) and rocks, and I can tell you there is a substantial amount of pristine beauty to be found all over the place out there.

I won't deny the bugs are an issue sometimes...but I do seem to be one of those lucky ones that a lot of bugs seem to ignore, lol

I'm pretty sure Trump has a well-documented obsession with Bloodsport. I don't have a copy (I know, I really should, that movie rules) but maybe it's something Bolo Yeung shouts at one of the Kumite judges?

Trump is a goddamn comic genius. His bits never disappoint, and this one is no exception.

Realistically, I can do without another 4 year circus sideshow, but can we at least make him the Comedian in Chief?

Verizon's network crashed around 10 am so it's been an extremely unproductive day for myself and my company. That's the bad news, the good news is they don't know why or when it will be restored.

I get told I look like Levi on the regular so this Trump endorsement can only mean good things are on the horizon for me.
