Hollywood Liberals Really Hate Everything
2021-03-02
[Townhall] I just put myself through something I don’t recommend to anyone: I watched the Golden Globes. I don’t recommend it, especially if you’re prone to eye rolling or vomiting which have been known to be exacerbated by prolonged exposure to self-righteous Hollywood leftists, but I am a trained professional so, with Visine and a bucket at the ready, I was able to survive it to tell my tale. And the only takeaway from the night is the fact that liberals are awful people who hate themselves, each other, and the country.

Right from the start it was clear this was going to be awful. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted together, because neither seems capable of doing anything on their own. You’d think having two hosts, both of whom are billed as the funniest women in the business, would make for some comedy. If you thought that, you would be wrong.

They aren’t good, either as hosts or performers. As performers, they make the cast of the Twilight movies seem like they have range (seriously, watch anything they’ve done and they both play the same characters every single time). As hosts, they simply aren’t funny. The entertainment press insists they are, and they sometimes were on Saturday Night Live, but they’ve gone their whole careers milking that time and their genders. If they weren’t outspoken liberals and women, they’d be holding reunions with Melanie Hutsell, Victoria Jackson, and all the other forgettable people who stunk up that show over the years.

#14  Explains why Borat has been pushed so hard, guess he had a spot on the showroom floor. Wonder if was dressed as racist hillbilly.

Breitbart says 60% drop in the ratings.

And not just hollywood, here is your paid for NPR:
Theres never a 'right' time to have a baby.

It is pitiful, except that they are quite comfortable leveraging envy as a career choice.

#13  Victoria Jackson’s Wikipedia page:

Jackson married a fellow performer, fire-eating magician Nisan Mark Eventoff, in 1984,[5] and had a daughter, Scarlet (born 1986). They divorced in 1991.[4] Shortly thereafter, she reconnected with her high school sweetheart, Paul Wessel, then a Miami-Dade SWAT team police officer, and they married and had a daughter, Aubrey (born 1994).[2] When her husband retired in 2013, the couple moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

These are people pretending to be other people.
Do they even remember who they are or were?

They will ACT OUT and saying anything to keep their names in the NEWS and promote a movie or Book.

#11  As I remember Victoria Jackson was a pretty outspoken righty. I think she married a Miami SWAT cop.

#9  Regarding thin and watery.
I read once that the invent of MP3s changed music in strange ways. The compression format cut off the high and low ends of a song leaving them a bit flatter than intended. Eventually that became the expectation in listeners when they heard those songs.

#8  Art suffers when woke credentials and political correctness are deemed more important than talent. Ayn Rand talked about this in Atlas Shrugged. Maybe she saw it for herself in the Soviet Union before she emigrated here. The songs on the radio are dull. Nobody seems to know how to write melodies or harmonies anymore. Even country music sounds like watered down pop. I get Sirius and I go through the channels and I wonder why I'm paying for this. I can't listen to Frank Sinatra all day long. I don't believe it's just because I'm old. I know good music when I hear it and I don't hear it anymore. Some years ago I sat through the Oscars when Lady Gaga sang a song that had been made famous by Julie Andrews. Gaga's voice was thin and watery compared to Julie Andrews. We have much better singers in my church choir. Gaga should have been embarrassed. I guess all that money makes up for it but I can't understand why anybody would buy it.

#4  SNL hasn't been funny since the days when the skits were created by actually sly and intelligent writers like Buck Henry and the National Lampoon Radio Hour's Michael O'Donoghue.

After O'Donoghue ("Mr. Mike") left, the show devolved into virtue-signaling Woke culture bullshit.

The standard formula for every SNL skit for the last 40 years has been to take a rube or other UnWoke Deplorable, add a few moronic phrases designed to be repeated as nauseam by dumb people trying to sound hip (like "Buh-Bye"), insert a parody of a pop song, rinse-repeat.

#3  Ridicule (1996): To get royal backing on a needed drainage project, a poor French lord must learn to play the delicate games of wit at court at Versailles.
French with English subtitles. A scathing look at how the courtiers around Versailles lived and 'worked'. One particular scene showcases the differences between French court "witticism" (where you deride and laugh at someone) and the "odd British humour" (the strange idea that you might enjoy laughing with someone).

The Hollywood Liberals are very "witty".

#2  Victoria Jackson? WHOA, MAN! You've stepped over the line! She was really cute!

#1  they simply aren’t funny.

Glad you figured it out. They've never been witty or clever or interesting.
