How Will the Academy Survive the Loss of a Small Subset of Cretins?

Andrew Klavan:
So let me make sure I have this straight. They make movies belittling our troops while they’re in harm’s way; they despise the manners and morals of most Americans; their patriotism is dependent on the results of the last election. And now they get together to give each other prizes and we’re supposed to care because… why?
You are not supposed to care. Nobody invites the nosepicker to the party.

A bitchin' and a whinin' par excellence. Here is a future star of the right wing blogaquarium.
"I despise Hollywood and all the narcissistic libruls there and I wish that they would make movies that I liked".

Thinking of the canon of conservative movies, I see that Punishment Park has been re-issued on DVD. I see it as a grim prophecy of the death of civil rights and the persecution of conservatives under liberal rule.

In the world as it is, an American president sacrificed his popularity to free 30 million people from a crushing tyranny of government sponsored rape, torture and murder.

By sacrificing and torturing a good bunch of them. Hooray!

They’ve violated our trust, abused their privileged position in the world and treated the common run of us with incredible disrespect. Let them celebrate themselves in the dark of our indifference.

I'm sure they're weeping into their champagne.

I'm sure they're weeping into their champagne.

But now they have nobody to clean up.

This guy never got over not being elected Head Cheerleader in high school.

Nobody asks the nose-pickers to clean up, either.

'Nosepicker to the Party' is a job title I can believe in.
What is it about Word Identification and 'pho'? The word now is 'perypho', which surely belongs in the next edition of the D&D Monster Manual.

Let me get this straight. Klavan assumes the only definition of patriotism that is correct is his own; he lumps every person in Hollywood in the same category, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of people that are either apolitical or not liberal work there; he spends hundreds of words explaining why the Oscars are irrelevant, because since they are irrelevant to him, they must be irrelevant to everyone else. Oh, and apparently Sean Penn speaks for the whole of the gay rights movement.

Nobody ever said he was "supposed" to care. Heaven forbid, filmmakers don't consult with Klavan personally before deciding the subjects of their work. Christ, what an idiot.
