->In [[UsefulNotes/TheSixties 1966]], when most black people in the U.S. couldn’t even be assured of their voting rights because [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement the Civil Rights war]] was still being fought, a New York Jew was writing about a brilliant black biochemist hanging out with the Avengers. Whatever else I have ever written, or will write, about StanLee’s writing prowess, I’ll say this: the man has balls of steel and a heart of gold.

->Neal Adams is probably primarily known as a comic book and commercial artist, and was even inducted into Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1998. He is, however, also a wailingly insane crackpot. Adams, you see, rejects plate tectonics, particularly the theory of subduction -- which he dismisses as [[ConspiracyTheorist a desperate attempt by geologists to save their hypothesis...]] Adams has appeared on Radio/CoastToCoastAM several times to discuss his claims, something cynical skeptics claim doesn’t quite equal peer reviewed publications. Of course, Adams, however, perceives himself [[TheyCalledMeMad as a modern day Galileo.]]

->Creator/JohnBelushi was equal parts comedic genius and cocaine-possessed party demon, but the man was also a career performer and a reasonably talented actor. That means he at least made an effort to clean up for work, right? Let's save both you and the universe some time by never asking that question ever again...Belushi's scenes in ''The Blues Brothers'' were actually performed by Aykroyd manipulating Belushi's drug-slumbering body like the titular corpse puppet in ''WeekendAtBernies''.

->The movie may not contain Brando's greatest performance, but it certainly contains his most emotionally overwhelming scene. He comes back to the hotel and confronts his wife's dead body, laid out in a casket, and he speaks to her with words of absolute hatred -- words which, as he says them, become one of the most moving speeches of love I can imagine...he makes it absolutely clear why he is the best film actor of all time. He may be [[TheBore a bore]], he may be [[DirtyOldMan a creep]], he may [[ThePrimaDonna act childish about the Academy Awards]] -- but there is no one else who could have played that scene flat-out, no holds barred, the way he did, and make it work triumphantly.

->Although ''Series/{{Highlander}}: The Series'' ran out of gas in its last season, it was still a highly acclaimed series that had a lot of fans. Naturally, that meant that Davis-Panzer Productions saw a chance to make more money out of it. They spent a good chunk of the sixth season of the series testing the waters for a spinoff show, featuring a lineup of new ass-kicking female immortals who would become the next main character. None of the new characters tested well, though, and as a result the producers went back to [[AscendedExtra Amanda]] [Elizabeth Gracen], the likeable thief and on and off love interest of Duncan [=MacLeod=]. Amanda was beautiful, clever, witty, and had been a fan favorite for six years. The big question was, why did the producers waste so many episodes trying to find an ass-kicking female immortal when they already had Amanda?\\\

->An athletically gifted, but terminally narcissistic, basketball player whose considerable assets are spoiled by his massive ego. Bryant has never been able to grasp the notion that the great players were made great by their ability to separate themselves from the dynamics of team basketball, thus allowing them to naturally cultivate whatever abilities in turn immortalized them. Because of this colossal character flaw, Bryant will never help an NBA franchise experience the success of which a Bryant-helmed team would otherwise be capable.\\\

->Before he arrived in San Francisco, the Niners were cast adrift in a sea of green puke...And then (Jim) Harbaugh came in and turned everything around, and now he is gone, because [[TheDilbertPrinciple the Niners are fucking stupid.]]\\\
...There is no sane football-related reason for the Niners to let Harbaugh leave. Apparently, they're letting Harbaugh go simply because he was so insufferable to deal with, which … fine. I get why you might wear out after having [[DrillSergeantNasty Captain Jawclench]] as the head man for four years. But this man is a football coach, and football coaches are, by their very nature, insufferable. They work endless hours. They are humorless and often distant and aloof. They are endlessly demanding. Only a batshit crazy person would thrive in that job, and so Jim Harbaugh fits into the mold nicely. I don't know what other temperament you would like out of a head coach.

->Bill Foster initially debuted in Avengers #32, penned in 1966 by [[Creator/StanLee Stan the Man]] himself. He is presented, without any comment or qualification, as the only scientist in America brilliant enough to act as [[Comicbook/AntMan Henry Pym’s]] lab assistant. He also appears during one of the better early ''[[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' storylines, where the team is fighting a group of [[ANaziByAnyOtherName coded white supremacists]] called the Sons of the Serpent.\\\
Seriously, sit there and think about this shit for a second. In [[UsefulNotes/TheSixties 1966]], when most black people in the U.S. couldn’t even be assured of their voting rights because [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement the Civil Rights war]] was still being fought, a New York Jew was writing about a brilliant black biochemist hanging out with the Avengers.

He is, however, also a wailingly insane crackpot. Adams, you see, rejects plate tectonics, particularly the theory of subduction -- which he dismisses as [[ConspiracyTheorist a desperate attempt by geologists to save their hypothesis.]] Instead, Adams advocates the Expanding Earth theory, claiming that the Earth is not merely expanding by increasing its volume, but growing by manufacturing new atomic mass in its core. Adams also rejects most contemporary physics in the process (for instance gravity(!))...His view is explained in several wonderfully insane Youtube videos and [[AuthorTract a rather long graphic novel]] described by ''Wired'' as ''“Two table-pounding scientists -- a radical theoretician [[TheWarOnStraw and a strawman]] -- work their way through a ''loooong'' conversation en route to a telegraphed conclusion: Everything we know is wrong. It's like ''Film/MyDinnerWithAndre'' costarring L. Ron Hubbard.”''\\\

->I’m not breaking new ground. You hear this type of thing all the time: That most creative types are assholes, bastards and jerks. Creator/KurtVonnegut manufactured a very specific public image – a frazzled, cynical old hippie persona that colored his writing and endeared him to a generation — and then the biographies came out, stating that in reality, he was straight-laced, extremely selfish, often cruel and generally unloving person... I think, if Vonnegut truly was the friendly, sad old hippie he pretended to be, his books would have held little to no emotional impact. What made him such a compelling writer wasn’t that he was practically a saint who wrote books -- it was that he was an asshole, trying as best he could to understand the saints around him. In his personal life, he failed. In his books, he succeeded. I wouldn’t want to share a tent with the guy, but then I probably wouldn’t enjoy the books of a guy that always picks up after himself, pays his bills on time and never plays his music too loud quite as much.

->Creator/JohnBelushi was equal parts comedic genius and cocaine-possessed party demon, but the man was also a career performer and a reasonably talented actor. That means he at least made an effort to clean up for work, right? Let's save both you and the universe some time by never asking that question ever again. As a general rule, John Belushi was destroyed when he was on set, perhaps no more so than when filming ''TheBluesBrothers''...[[DanAykroyd Aykroyd]] had to go on numerous adventures simply to locate his sky-high co-star and carry him back to work. On one occasion, Aykroyd found Belushi sleeping on a couch in a complete stranger's house at 3 o'clock in the morning. Aykroyd just kind of shook Belushi into a state of semi-consciousness and dragged him back to filming. Presumably a portion of Belushi's scenes in ''The Blues Brothers'' were actually performed by Aykroyd manipulating Belushi's drug-slumbering body like the titular corpse puppet in ''WeekendAtBernies''.

->RobertAHeinlein's novels, in my opinion, are very insightful books that usually have quite a lot to say. I think people read Heinlein novels not for the science fiction elements, but for the exploration of the human situation. Most of the time, he seems to explore social issues such as the role of the family, men, women, the military, the government. I personally find his books to be [[AuthorTract overly didactic]], and most of the time the plot is just a clothesline on which to hang extended essays about his views on these matters. I have only read ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'', ''Literature/ThePuppetMasters'', and ''Literature/StrangerInAStrangeLand'', so I'm by no means a Heinlein scholar, but I actually find Heinlein's style very effective and his novels are always very thought provoking. There's only one thing handicapping Heinlein's books.\\\

->'''Richard Dean Anderson:''' I cornered [Gen.] Ryan and asked him if he had colonels that actually behaved the way I did. You know, was it a little shaky? Was I being disrespectful? And he stopped me in mid-sentence and just said, 'Son,' (which I thought was rather condescending), he said, "Yes, we've got colonels like you, and worse"...In fact, both generals[[labelnote:*]]The other one being Gen. John P. Jumper, the succeeding Air Force Chief of Staff, who appeared AsHimself in "Lost City".[[/labelnote]] that I worked with on ''Stargate'' said the same thing. Said, "You're doing what we all want to do, but really can't."

->Joseph R. "Literally" "Big Fucking Deal" "Gates of Hell" Biden, Jr. is the current in a long list of [[OpenMouthInsertFoot gaffe-prone]] Vice Presidents of the United States who, at the same time, has managed to be one of Barack Obama's most important negotiators...In May of 2012, right in the middle of the re-election campaign, Biden misspoke (or [[ObfuscatingStupidity maybe not]]), saying that 'I am absolutely comfortable with gay marriage.' This gaffe forced Obama to have to actually address the gay marriage issue head on. The President said he had [[MetaphoricallyTrue evolved]] and now accepted gay marriage. This was one of several turning points in the campaign, so thank him for that.

The answer, it seems, is this: Elizabeth Gracen was '''fucking insane'''.

->Jefferson is a slender man, has rather the air of stiffness in his manner. His clothes seem too small for him... His whole figure has a loose, shackling air. He had a rambling, vacant look, and nothing of that firm collected deportment which I expected would dignify the presence of a secretary or minister. I looked for gravity, but [[BrilliantButLazy a laxity of manner]] seemed shed about him. He [[YouTalkTooMuch spoke almost without ceasing]]; but even his discourse partook of his personal demeanor.

->It’s possible that the only time Michael Jackson was fully in control was when he was onstage, or doing prep work for a show. The rest of his life was mess and scandal and self-disfigurement, but in the lights, at least, he knew something about something.
