Can't remember who the Howard Stern fans are, or in what thread we talked about him, but the NY Times has a profile this week:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/ar...rn-sirius.html
That would be me.Quoting Irish (view post)
And hearing Howard talk about this was hilarious. He hates the way he looks so much- so when the times asked to take a picture of him, he demanded the photographer stand on a box, and shoot him from the right side (his good side)
But this article is EXACTLY what was I trying to explain before- how he's changed over the years and how his show is much more than strippers and porn stars from the E show.
I was a fan until he left earth. I can't justify paying for radio when I have so many podcasts to listen to. Like all talkers, he can be annoying at times, wrong at times, a fucking idiot at times, really damn funny at times...but who isn't? I get annoyed when people stop listening to a podcast after a comment or two they disagree with. You're never going to agree with anyone ALL the time. If one of my shows is bugging me, I just switch to another. But I get it, his abrasiveness can be a deal breaker for many (and thats okay too).
I do miss him occasionally, and I would still listen if I could.
Here's an actual conversation between The Verge and Werner Herzog. Read it in his voice for maximum effect.

Herzog is a liar. I've seen that man on a cell phone and he broke away to say hello to me.
If they made a movie about Werner Herzog playing Pokémon I would see it.

We 100% positive the Verge didn't interview Paul F. Tompkins by accident?
Watching Predator, and this hip firing bullshit is annoying the Hell out of me.
EDIT: With the exception of Jesse Ventura and his minigun, 'cause that's what you'd have to do. Nothing says spray and pray like a belt fed weapon.

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy again a day or so ago and woke up with "Come and Get Your Love" in my head
it is impossible not to dance to this song

Donald Trump is the Canada goose of people. He's always honking at you, he shits on everything, and he's just generally aggressive when he doesn't need to be.

I honestly cannot understand how Trump is even a candidate. It's like America is taking crazy pills.,..

The Bush administration was embarrassing and awful in so many ways, but the Trump candidacy is where I'm most ashamed to say I'm an American.
Does anyone have the old MC conversation about "Sleep! That's where I'm a viking" saved?
Trump has me frightened for the entire world.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Im really hoping if he does get elected if will piss every one off and they wont work with him, so he'll mostly just be a lame duck that cant do ANYthing. Hopefully.
So in brighter news, I'm happy to report that I've survived another film screening! The guys who ran the local film fest last time invited me back for another show tonight, where this time they screened Dream Girl. A bigger turnout than last time, too, so cool deal!

K-pop scene question for Stay Puft and any others... are Wonder Girls's reggae-inflected "Why so Lonely" or Black Pink's "Boombayah" the best of this year so far, or am I missing out on particularly interesting tracks?
CL is putting something out today, but this year just seems more "eh" than the last couple...

The Power of the Dog - 7.5

Congrats dude!Quoting TGM (view post)
In related news, I'm in the process of talking to one of my best friends who's a producer, and we're setting up a preliminary budget for a short film I'm directing next year! This being the first thing I've directed since college, I'm both anxious and excited at once.
