Don't be part of the problem. if you have influence in DC don't use it to purge the next Richwine. <br /><br />the money problem. how can we make it safe for rich people to donate to isteve and other pro preservationist causes? Maybe a tech wizard on our side can develope some bitcoin-esque digital solution for non traceable contributions. <br /><br />personally i think more and more about leaving America and the west (as it becomes more and more like the E! channel and the land of Kardashian).

More so recently. I could write a very long piece on him. He has good and bad attributes. Their probably is a little bit of WWE conspiracy huckster in him. He will constantly talk about the TSA but will almost never bring up legal 3rd world immigration. THough he will say stuff about PC and whites being demonized occasionally. He constantly promotes writers and speakers many pegs bellow the intellect of Sailer or Brimelow or Richard Spencer (Max Keiser, Jesse Ventura, or straight con men like Lindsay Williams). I wonder if he's ever read i steve or alt right or vdare. he sure stays away from our sphere. he knows what will get him and his money in trouble. However, he is charsmitic and entertaining. Much more amusing than neo cons like Michael Medved or Beck.

Steve's monomania for republicizing pet theories reminds me of the post-9/11 Onion headline "Now More Than Ever the World Needs My 'Back to the Future' Fan-Fiction." Also for a paid movie critic he doesn't evince a lot of familiarity with how Hollywood works; the late-summer table-clearing release may have been unfair but it certainly isn't unusual since the conglomerate era began in the 80s. I know without checking the AV Club or Metafilter must have more than one aspie treatise about all the other cinematic masterpieces dealt that fate"<br /><br /><br />I agree with this assessment. I think Steve reads too much into Fox.<br />It was a Mike Judge movie whose last feature Office Space was released 6 years prior was a box office dud ,despite its later cult status.<br />There are many examples of studio execs having cold feet on what they percieve to be a weak film and try to either "fix" it ,delay it to to a less competitive date or if they can afford to -forget it ever existed.<br /><br />Before going on and on about conspiracies I wish Steve would reflect on what he stated about his tastes being against the mainstream.<br />Therefore if he loved Idiocracy, it was only inevitable that it wouldnt do well.<br />My record of judging whether something would be successful is mixed. I saw Idiocracy on DVD in mid 2007 without any foreknowledge of its botched release and its poor BO performance. <br />Again I liked but not THAT much , I was just not sure how this would be recieved as it seemed more suited to be a TV production. Mike Judge is not terribly cinematic and TV guys seldom realize more is need on the big screen.<br />IMO thats what did Idiocracy in, they hired a TV guy to do a sorta kinda big budget edgy yet conventional comedy. This was confusion from the get go. No wonder it failed.<br />Dr Van Nostrandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-36875407250802930522013-05-25T21:44:10.662-07:002013-05-25T21:44:10.662-07:00Michael Caine did all sorts of utter crap includin...<i>Michael Caine did all sorts of utter crap including an awful Steven Seagal movie.
