Longtime Crush

Gratuitous Chick Pics

I have to admit that I’ve always enjoyed Bruce Dern’s little girl Laura in her movies.  She’s not pretty in the traditional Hollywood sense (whatever that is), but she’s rather sexy.

And I loved her in Rambling Rose:

Now, at an advanced age (for Hollywood) she gets to play with the hotties:

Laura Dern has admitted she felt ‘so lucky’ to be able to perform a racy sex scene with younger costar Liam Hemsworth in their new movie Lonely Planet.

The romantic drama, which landed on Netflix on October 11, sees Dern’s character Katherine Loewe, a successful and respected writer, travel to a Moroccan resort to finish her latest literary novel – which is where she meets Hemsworth’s character Owen Brophy.

New Wife and I watched Lonely Planet  the other night, and it was quite enjoyable despite its obvious unreality (when was a rom-com ever realistic, anyway?), because in no small part Laura’s performance made it credible.  (And the “racy sex scene”?  Compared to some of her other efforts — e.g. her bedtime activities with Nicholas Cage in Wild At Heart — it was brief, and unlikely to cause Hemsworth’s family much embarrassment.)

Anyway, here’s Laura over the years:

And she’s now 57?

Lovely.

Department Of Righteous Shootings

Righteous Shootings

What can you say when a popular high school football player is cut down in his prime, taken too soon and is a victim of gunfire?

Perhaps the little asshole shouldn’t have crashed into a Halloween party and shot nine people, before being gunned down himself by another armed partygoer who didn’t much care for his attitude.

The latter part only came out after everyone was calling our scumbag footballer the victim, instead of the aggressor he actually was.

Best part is that the hero of the story isn’t going to be charged with any crime — self-defense duh, not to mention saving innocent lives — so we won’t have to bring out the tar and feathers for the local prosecutor.

Imbalance

Entertainment

Ooooh I love this one:

White children playing Monopoly should be given more money and less jail time to teach them about racial privilege

Dumb fucks.  If they really wanted to teach White kids about some inherent racial privilege, the White kids should be forced to play the game with Black kids, only with half the money.

That’s assuming such an imbalance exists, of course (it doesn’t).

Or they could just play Black Monopoly:

Anyway…

Back when I was a student in the early 1970s, we played “Poor Man’s Monopoly” which featured all the things of regular Monopoly, only you started the game with no money at all, and collected only $20 each time you passed GO.  There was considerable hilarity, such as when it was your birthday and you had to collect $10 from each player (and were pummeled after forcing one or more players into insolvency).  Of course, you couldn’t borrow money from the bank (because what bank is going to lend you money when you have none to start off with, duh).  Obviously, there was no income tax ever paid, and some of the Chance and Community Chest cards were taken out because of irrelevancy.

The winner was the first player who could actually buy any piece of property — and believe me, those ugly brown cheap-ass suckers placed right after GO became a lot more desirable.

…or in British: 

Yeah, let kids play that game instead of that artificial racial inequity bullshit, and let them see what life is truly about — for both Black and White.
