i recently watched the crying game and it made me wish that i had waited to do my list of top 30 favorite movie performances. because, if i had made that list after watching the crying game, jaye davidson's performance in the movie would easily be in the top 10.

this performance is nothing short of a miracle. davidson, a cisgender man, was able to convincingly pass as a woman. he got the look, voice, and mannerisms down. the reason the twist works as well as it does is because davidson is able to pass as a woman so well. not to mention, he gets easily some of the best lines and scenes in the whole movie.

as much as i love unforgiven and gene hackman's performance it, i can't help but feel that davidson deserved the award more. this performance is truly one for the ages.

since i have 3 weddings coming up, my dad took me to go suit shopping. we went to macy's where i bought a blazer and pants that i am very pleased with. the only problem is that the combo cost 200 dollars. and, with the belt i got as well plus taxes, it came to 237 dollars. it probably would have costed me more if we hadn't agreed to hold off on buying shoes and to use the blue dress shirt that i already have. and this was during a sale, meaning that this price was lower then it usually is.

it is frankly obscene how much men's suits cost. if it was personally measured to me, that would be one thing. but these were just what happened to fit me. i do have plenty of money so it wasn't that big of a deal but it's still absolutely ridiculous. frankly, it's highway robbery.

He was an extremely popular and beloved president thanks to him getting us out of vietnam. If Watergate never happened, he probably would have been reelected to a 2nd term and probably would have gone down as one of the greatest presidents ever.

i have made my hatred of the US constitution known many times. and one of the many things that i hate about it is that it allows criminals to get acquitted or released on technicalities. and the most famous recent example of this is bill cosby.

bill cosby is an admitted rapist who was poised to spend the rest of his life in prison. but then, in 2021, due to it being discovered that his constitutional rights were violated during the trial process, cosby was released and is a free man this day.

so many people are rightfully outraged by this. however, in my opinion, if you support the constitution, you forefeit any right to be upset about cosby being free. because this is what you support.

you can either support the constitution or you can support law and order. you can't support both.

george carlin is often considered to be one of the greatest standup comedians of all time. however, less talked about are his many film roles. given his reputation and popularity, it should come as no surprise that carlin starred in a few movies during his lifetime. here they are.

carlin's feature film debut was in the 1968 romantic comedy with six you get eggroll. in the film, he played the supporting role of herbie. the film went virtually unnoticed when it came out.

in 1976, carlin would play a taxi driver in the 1976 comedy film car wash. the film was one of several black focused movies released by a major hollywood studio during the 1970s. despite receiving most positive reviews, the film bombed at the box office. nowadays, it's considered a cult classic.

in 1979, carlin narrated the 1979 science fiction comedy americathon. the film recieved extremely poor reviews upon it's release. however, over the years, it has recieved attention for the various things it predicted.

in 1987, carlin played the role of frank in the comedy film outrageous fortune. though a box office success, the film recieved mixed reviews, though bette midler would be nominated for a golden globe for her role in the movie.

1 year later, in 1988, carlin would play his most famous film role. rufus in bill and ted's excellent adventure. the film was a box office and critical hit, serving as a star making role for both alex winter and keanu reeves. carlin would reprise his role for the film's 1991 sequel bill and ted's bogus journey. carlin spoke fondly of his time playing rufus, saying that the role allowed him to reach a younger and broader audience and that he had a great time on set.

the same year bill and ted's bogus journey was released, carlin played against type in a drama. specifically, the romantic comedy the prince of tides. in the film, carlin plays the supporting role of eddie. the film was critically acclaimed and was nominated for 7 academy awards, none of which it won.

in 1999, carlin would play the role of cardinal glick in kevin smith's controversial religious comedy dogma. though well received critically and commercially successful, the film drew the ire of the catholic church and even sparked protests. given the fact that the film pushes the boundaries of good taste, it was a perfect fit for the notoriously controversial carlin.

in 2001, carlin would collaborate with kevin smith once again, playing a hitchhiker in jay and silent bob strikes back. he was one of several actors to cameo in the film. although the film received mixed reviews upon release, it has since become a cult classic.

in 2003, carlin would once again have a cameo role, this time as an architect in scary movie 3. though successful at the box office, the film received mixed reviews.

in 2004, carlin would collaborate with kevin smith for a 3rd and final time. this time, playing ben affleck's father in the comedy drama jersey girl. the film was a partially autobiographical film on smith's part, being about his time raising his daughter. the film received mixed reviews and bombed at the box office. the film also marked the end of an era for carlin's film career as it was his final live action film role, excluding his appearance in the 2005 documentary the aristocrats.

in 2005, the same year he appeared in the aristocrats, he voiced the character of zugor in the directed to video sequel to disney's tarzan, tarzan 2. the film has mostly been forgotten and the few who do know it don't view it very fondly.

in 2006, carlin would star in 2 animated movies. he voiced fillmore in cars and the wizard in happily n'ever after. cars would be critically and commercially successful and would earn an oscar nomination for best animated feature, which it would lose to happy feet. happily n'ever after would not be so lucky as it would be critically panned and would bomb at the box office. the ladder film would be carlin's final film role before his 2008 death.

in 2020, carlin appeared in bill and ted face the music via archive footage. his daughter also made a cameo in the film.

I've made numerous anti union posts. In the comments, I almost always get called a corporate shill. Well, I'm not one. I am merely a worker who wants to keep what I earn.

In this age where things get more and more expensive, employees need all the money they can get. While unions do not have Bill's to pay and groceries to buy, employees do.

I already get money taken out for healthcare and taxes. I don't need Jimmy Hoffa getting his grubby hands all over my cash.

i registered for selective service in 2019 after turning 18. my ID expires this june. since i've already registered, this automatic draft registration thing doesn't effect me, right?
