Jesus fucking Christ. Is there any subject Bill Maher isn't an ignorant asshole on?
His "weirdo D list producer" was a wildly influential DIRECTOR, and BTVOTD was one of the top grossing studio films of 1970
We'll be talking about Russ Meyer long after Maher is dead & forgotten
This is not how you behave when you're protesting someone you have political differences with.

BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us. 🧵

Has a movie ever had a sequel in a different genre than the original? E.g: a rom-com original followed by a horror sequel set in the same world with the same concept.
Known and loved this guy for close to two decades now. This thing that's happening now? Literally NO ONE who knows him is surprised. WG is one of the most gifted, most committed and most decent people on the planet.
For a long time, Walton Goggins had a face people recognized, even if they didn’t know his name. Now he has the name-recognition too.

We didn't tell Joe what the theme was this week. Here's a sneak peek at his reaction when he figured it out.
Look, wherever you come down on what's happening in the Middle East, can't we all at least agree that it's a beautiful thing to see Tommy Tuberville and Nancy Pelosi coming together to agree that getting rich off war is awesome?
Here is every US politician whose stock portfolio will benefit from a conflict in the Middle East between Iran & Israel.
I have aggregated a list of their stocks, like Raytheon, $RTX, Lockheed Martin, $LMT, & more.
Many are making millions.

Look, I'm as far from a conservative as you can get, and tend to think of the far right as dangerously unhinged.... But I have to admit - when they're right, they're right.
Justice Sotomayor’s decision to retire will be made as a wise Latina, in conversation with her doctor, her family, and her faith, without the interference of politicians who have no idea about her health condition.
Legendary idiot Bill Maher bagging on Russ Meyer & punk rock reminded me-Don't think a lot of people know this, but Johnny Rotten's famous last words as a Pistol came DIRECTLY from the script Roger Ebert wrote for the aborted Russ Meyer Sex Pistols movie
After 12 seasons, many viewers lament the passing of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry David’s sour, pseudo bio-series. I’m not a fan, because Larry truly is the self-righteous, snobby, self-loathing, narcissistic ass he portrays. That opinion is informed by an outdoor afternoon…
I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative…

I think there’s been a clerical error, but I am hearing, just for the first time, that it’s my birthday today and apparently I’m 50. It must be a typo.
Thanks for all your birthday messages, art and everything else. It means a great deal to me. To everyone who has been there for…
Let me tell you something. I've seen a lot in my time in this business. It's a hard road that people just can't understand unless they're in it. Anyone who's had any level of success knows this. When one of the truly talented & genuinely good guys win? It makes you cry tears...
