I note that Andrew attended Tulane University here in New Orleans. From New Orleans to Andrew's family, friends and colleagues, may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen.

Big Hollywood : In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)

To everyone in Andrew's family, his friends, his colleagues at Breitbart.com, those in the conservative movement, I extend my prayers and deepest sympathy and consolation. What a talented, dedicated man for principles and achievements and advocacy for political discourse and reforms he was. He never feared to take the truth to others, especially when it had to do with corruption of the governmental or constitutional processes. He achieved so much. I enjoyed whenever he was a guest on shows, especially on "Red Eye"...he was just on with Piers Morgan on CNN for coverage of the Michigan and Arizona Republican primaries Tuesday night Feb. 28, and seemed fine (health wise) at that time. We have lost a giant in the contemporary conservative movement, but his principles and achievements will live on. RIP Andrew, and thanks, thanks so very much, for all you've done for this country and those in the conservative movement. God bless.

Breitbart.tv : Romney: My Wife Drives A Couple Cadillacs

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:23:46 +0000

As we should be investigating and observing these candidates in action, no matter which one, when they make odd utterances like that (no you're not the only one who thinks what Gov. Romney said was "really weird" and "really odd"), you have to think "If this person gets elected and sworn into office and says things like that now, then likely four years of this, f....o....u....r.........l....o....nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....g........y....e....a....r....s..................." And use that in considering who to vote for. ;-)

How does Mrs. Romney pick which Cadillac to drive, "Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe...?" ;-)

Big Hollywood : 'SNL' Roasts Gingrich Over Moon Colony Plans

SNL today vs. the original 1970s cast.... Past time, to pull the plug. Long past time.

Big Hollywood : 'SNL' Roasts Gingrich Over Moon Colony Plans

Mon, 6 Feb 2012 02:17:21 +0000

Back in the 2008 primary season SNL was truly funny, satirizing how the media fawned all over Obama and almost ignored Hillary by comparison. Four years later SNL is consistently lame.... except for when Betty White was the celebrity host. Back in the 1970s was SNL's best years, best talent, funny sketches. RIP John Belushi and Gilda Radner.

Big Hollywood : Madonna Delivers Shock-Free Halftime Show

Mon, 6 Feb 2012 02:03:15 +0000

Were Madonna's moves slow so as not to risk making any dance mistakes on live TV? Or is she just getting old and slower? A few years ago The Who sang on stage for half-time, and they couldn't even stay on key. Maybe pre-recorded and lip-synching is the way to go, it sounds better, at least, when your star is aging.

Big Hollywood : Did Oprah and Rosie Burn Their Brands By Going Political?

Thu, 5 Jan 2012 10:31:01 +0000

Not that many cable systems have the OWN network, so viewership of these shows is going to be lower just because of that fact alone. There are lots of programming choices on cable and satellite anyway, so viewership will be down for OWN because of that, too. And more and more people are working full-time jobs during the day, so viewership of traditionally daytime-talk-show-type programs will be down anyway just because of that. Add in that maybe it was the hour Rosie and Oprah were on, when they are at their peak as daytime talk show hosts, that caused people to watch them a lot, as well as the fact Rosie and Oprah at that peak period were relatively nicer and apolitical than today. And add in that since their peak viewership-fame periods audiences of that era may have moved on now to other video interests in daytime TV, if they are at home during daytime TV hours anymore. That's when you add on Rosie's and Oprah's political views coming out vs. being mainstream hosts as potentially why their present day ratings are declining as they revive their former talk show careers. It's a new day since Rosie and Oprah had impressive successful ratings. Even on the main networks and local TV affiliate4s it's a new day in syndicated shows, too. You can try to "go back" and recapture what you once had, but audiences can be fickle and change over time and just because you try to reintroduce what you once had doesn't mean audiences will necessarily follow you there.

Big Hollywood : Box Office Slump Hits Christmas?: Weekend's Big Sequels Underperform

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:57:38 +0000

I only saw four movies in theaters this year: Captain America (saw it because my son wanted to, comic book movies are not my thing anyway), Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (the first movie was best, this one was like more of the same with fewer familiar characters), Cars 2 (I wondered why it got the first Rotten ratings of any Pixar movie at Rotten Tomatoes but went anyway out of loyalty to the usually stellar Pixar legacy, and found it a dull disappointment), and Cowboys and Aliens (I thought under Ron Howard and starring Harrison Ford it would be oddball-funny-campy and found it just oddball). The only movie this Christmas season I'd normally be attracted to is The Muppets, but with Kathy Griffin making a cameo and it being the second of two major Disney films this year to diss oil companies as evil (Cars 2 was the other one, and was overt about it) I'm staying home and reallocating discretionary spending on movies to other household needs instead. We're finding classic or older title movies to watch on cable channels instead, yesterday Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and The Wizard of Oz were on TV.

Big Hollywood : Commie Muppets, Occupy Wall Street, and Slate's Breathtaking Hypocrisy

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 13:29:19 +0000

I hadn't heard at first about the anti-oil corporate sentiments in it What I'd heard was that Kathy Griffin has a cameo in it. Now with the anti-oil/politicalization of, of all things, the Muppets, I won't be buying a ticket. The Muppets used to be fun and funny back in their day.

Big Hollywood : Trailer Talk: 'The Three Stooges' - What's Old is ... Old Again

Fri, 9 Dec 2011 00:50:30 +0000

I agree that the way they were portraying nuns, especially at the swimming pool party, was offensive. My late aunt was a nun. I had been curious and looking forward a little bit to this movie and how it might turn out. Now it looks like "Dumb and Dumber" meets "Three Stooges" meets "Let's put all kinds of crude antics recycled from crude antics movies into an update about The Three Stooges". No thanks. Although I agree the imitations of the original Stooges seem very accurate. There's an old video game of the Three Stooges that was very fun to play. Made several of their movies very interactive, including with throwing pies. Instead of watching this movie, dig out that old video game or buy it if it's still on the market. The game is funny and entertaining.

Big Hollywood : Zooey Deschanel Sings 'National Anthem' at World Series

Thank you, for singing it "straight" and not like a diva and not with distracting embellishments, with dignity and simple eloquent class. The way it's supposed to be done! Thank you so much!

Big Hollywood : Michael Moore: Obama's First Term a 'Heartbreaking Disappointment'

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:32:56 +0000

"Moore described Obama’s first three years in office to the BBC as “heart-breaking” and a “disappointment.” “He did not come into office like I hoped that he would, to do what Franklin Roosevelt did in his first few months where he came in and said, you know, ‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” Moore said." I am heart-broken for what Obama's done and is doing to this country, as I am in Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid. And disappointed that sometimes Republicans aren't more ardent in pushing and fighting back, and am disappointed in all the RINOs. And since I don't like it I intend to cast my vote to throw Pres. Obama out of office in November 2012. So, in a way, I agree with Michael Moore for once, LOL. ;-)

Breitbart.tv : Howard Stern Shows Idiocy Of #OccupyWallStreet Protesters

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:28:42 +0000

One of the greatest schools in the country is one people desperately try to stay out of, or get out of going to, when in fact it offers the most valuable education of all. So parents if you see your sons and daughters out there in Occupy (Name of City Here) protest campouts, jeopardizing the big tuition checks you pay, jeopardizing scholarships, jeopardizing attendance in school and risking being kicked out for being no-show in classes..... let these people attend this valuable, better school instead: The School of Hard Knocks. Let them keep on doing what they're doing, the School of Hard Knocks will enroll them immediately and after a few years they will learn their lessons well in that School. ;-)

There is supposed to be a cameo of Kathy Griffin in this movie. On IMDB she's listed as part of the cast.
