Glenn Beck – Beck to the Future!

After the election of Barack Obama, Glenn Beck has skyrocketed near the top of the Wingnut talking head group. Although not yet able to topple Rush from the top, Glenn Beck has cemented his number two slot, dethroning and worrying competitors Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Beck’s radio and tv show has mutated from yet another right wing radio show to one of the most vocal and ridiculous critics of Barack Obama. Beck’s ability to cry for just about everything, along with his constant grandstanding with gimmicks such as The 9-12 Project, have made him a rallying point. The Teabaggers are basically his babies. Just imagine them shooting out of Beck’s vagina, screeching about socialism and “Where’s the Birth Certificate??” Or don’t, because that is disturbing.

Glenn Beck started out on morning zoo radio shows, doing a variety of them across the country during the 1990s. One such job was with Tim Hattrick on Y95 in Phoenix, AZ. A commercial of this has appeared on YouTube:

Glenn Beck’s radio talk show premiered in 2000. His original shows weren’t anywhere near as extreme as now, as you can see thanks to the Wayback Machine archives of his old websites! Check out these archives

There are a few things that would make modern fans cringe. Heck, there are things that make me cringe, like this:

1999 book recommendations:

RELIGIOUS SOURCES

* The Bible
* The Gnostic Scriptures
* The Qur’an
* Christology in Context – De Jonge
* On First Principals – Origen
* Jewish Antiquities – Josephus

The Qur’an is not a misprint, he also recommends it in 2001!

Glenn Beck – Qur’an reader! Qur’an recommender. I am sure now he will say it was recommended so that you could know your enemy, but that doesn’t sound like pre-9-11 Wingnut thinking to me. And “da’wah” means the teaching of Islam.

Wingnut Web – The Susan Herbert Gravy Train Chugs Along!

Our good friend and crazy train conductor Susan Herbert popped up again, this time on FreeRepublic.com. It’s the same old story, she posts ginormous paragraphs of text and claims she is the real president because she filed a motion in SCOTUS or something, and she has a beef against Roberts. She really, really, really hates Justice Roberts for some reason. Regardless, FreeRepublic.com seemed more immune to her crazy than Resistnet.com, which should tell you something about Resistnet.com. It also made me realize I still have piles of her crazy crap from Resistnet.com (which seems to have all been deleted, btw) which I might as post as well, because I did all that copying and pasting! That’s my job, thanks to George Soros. 100 Ameros a post. MuHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Previous Susan Herbert here, here, and here (and the other, better Susan Herbert is here)

Keep in mind this entire thing is JUST ONE POST!!!!!!

And that was the end of Susan Herbert. I don’t know what happened, but she probably got deleted because she was too distracting to what Grassfire.org/Resistnet.com wants to do (earn that sweet donation money for themselves!)

FreeRepublic.com HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

The Asylum's Sherlock Holmes is filled with monsters!

The latest Mockbuster from The Asylum will be hot on the heels of the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film. Ben Snyder is Sherlock, Gareth David-Lloyd is Watson, and Dominic Keating from Enterprise is Spring-Heeled Jack. Oh, and the poster promises a Tyrannosaurus, a giant Kraken, and a flame-breathing dragon monster. Just like the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle YOU remember! The plot from the website: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective faces the ultimate challenge when enormous monsters attack London. I thought that was just going to be The Hound of the Baskervilles or something until I saw the poster. Check it out:

See you on January 26, 2010!

Knockout – Gina Carano directed by Soderbergh

Gina Carano is a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter trained in Muay Thai kickboxing who will soon be leading her own movie called Knockout. Steven Soderbergh took some time off from directing porn stars to helm this film, which is describes as a contemporary to Kill Bill, La Femme Nikita, and the James Bond films. Oddly enough, all three of those are completely different, so okay. Whatever makes the inverstors happy, just give us a good action film with plenty of butt-kicking action. Carano has a supporting role in the upcoming Blood and Bone, and you might know her as Natasha Volkova from Command and Conquer Red Alert 3.

Rare Movie Time!!! – Our Friend, Power 5 (Wurideul-ui chingu pawo 5) (1989)

From the depths of Korea comes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles piloting giant robots! Yes, in a live action movie mixed with cartoon robot fights! Our Friend, Power 5 (Wurideul-ui chingu pawo 5 aka 우리들의 친구 파워 5 )Besides directly ripping off TMNT, the robots are ganked from Go-Bots, most particularly the Gobots Guardian Power Suit. This copyright nightmare is probably never going to get a legit release in the US because no company wants to get sued into the ground. I don’t even know if it has much legitimate releases in South Korea, because the only shots of it seem to be from VHS. But you never know when funky DVDs or VCDs will show up. Until then, all we have are internet images, translated websites, and a lot of frustration. Just the thing rare cult movie fans love to hate to love.

KMDB sez:

On a star called ‘Battlestar,’ a class of turtles have evolved to form a civilized society. Shark, villain of the universe, attacks Battlestar. The princess escapes with the secret design plans of the Comentor Robot. On earth, Dr. Yang discovers how to bring garbages of the universe to earth and take care of them. Dr. Yang brings the princess to earth. Hyuk walks into Dr. Yang’s lab. Contaminated by gamma rays, Hyuk grows supernatural powers. Hyuk and the princess combine forces and fight Shark and his men. Dr. Yang and Dr. Gong finish the Comentor Robot to defeat Shark’s troops. The princess and her people return to Battlestar.

Unfortunately the site won’t let me access the stills, so screw KMDB!

Here are some scans of a promo-booklet ganked from here. (Click for HUGE!)

Goldman Sachs = Scum

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Keiser

Karmabanque was a hedge fund founded by Keiser which sought to profit from any decline in equity-value of companies who are susceptible to boycott from environmental groups. The hedge fund’s progress was followed monthly in the Ecologist Magazine, edited by Zac Goldsmith. Its targets included Coca-Cola and McDonalds. The Karmabanque hedge fund project was designed to simultaneously short-sell companies while funnelling profits from this activity into environmental and ethical-business pressure groups which further act to drive the price down. Describing the project, Keiser states “The Internet allows people, activists, from all over the world to gather, or swarm, and hit a company where it hurts most — in their stock price.”
