Whoops, I linked the wrong Salem's Lot trailer in the thread. I specifically praised it for the song choice, but the trailer I linked had no song. Here's the one I intended to link.
It's a good song to suggest desiccated evil corpses pretending to be alive.
Pitch Meeting: Megalopolis
It's all spoilers, I guess, if this mad mess can even be spoiled. I don't think the story is the main thing here. Not sure what the main thing is. It sounds like something you dream, and you're super-excited about how cool it is, but then you start to write it down and as your mind becomes clearer you say, "Wait a minute, none of this makes any sense! This is just all stupid nonsense-gibberish!"
It sounds like a pipe dream. By which I mean, I think someone beat Coppola with a pipe and he went into a coma and when he woke up he said "Sell my vineyard, I've got a script."
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click
Some time from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator
to find me please

And can dance like Astaire overseas

Yacht or Nyacht? I'd say no. It's an 80s song, a bit out of the Yacht Rock Era, and Yacht or Nyacht doesn't even list it. I think this is what MTV used to call "alternative," which wound up just meaning "neither metal, nor hard rock, nor rap, nor outright dance-pop." (Which actually is kind of Yacht Rock's playing field but I still say no, too much accoustic guitar and no electric piano.)
Douglas Murray on the debate: The fact that the Marxist Media is now down to attacking JD Vance for his beard shows that the Democrat-Media Party is desperate to talk about anything other than the issues and Kamala Harris's Failure to Position Herself for Success
He notes that the media says that Republicans are "out of ideas" or admitting their own failures when they do this. But now (this is my take, not his) the Marxist Media is praising Kamala Harris for her Cagey Strategy of running only on "vibes" and "joy."
He also opines that the only "women" who are put off by men having beards are "women with beards."
Maddow: JD Vance is a "slicker" speaker only because he, who entered politics like four years ago, has more experience speaking in debates than the 12-year-congressman, current governor of Minnesota.
Note that this insane spin -- that a 20-year politician (he deserted his unit in 2004 to run in 2005) has "more experience" debating policy than a neophyte who just joined the game a couple of years ago -- was put out by Walz campaign before the debate, to lower expectations. (Spoiler: He did not lower expectations enough.) And here's the bitter disinformation-pushing conspiracy-queen Rachel Maddow dutifully propagating it.
Asked for comment about the allegations he publicly slapped a woman at Cannes, Doug Emhoff responded, "Kamala was raised in a middle-class household and her mother is nice."
Rich Lowry observed that while both Vance and Walz agreed with each other and polite, it hit different with each. Vance was clearly beating up this fat retard, so his agreement was seen as magnanimous to a clearly-outclassed opponent. Walz's agreement back did not seem magnanimous, as he was not in any position of strength, but seemed like the stupid kid in class agreeing with the smart kid so that the teacher would move on to the next kid. (On Megyn Kelly's post-debate show.)

@BillKristol

You know it wasn't a good night when the best your allies can say on text or email is, "Don't worry, vice presidential debates don't matter."

Not even Bill Kristol can lower himself to the Jen Rubin standard.

My favorite thing is that NOT ONCE has Walz had a coherent answer and yet it's VANCE who these clown ladies keep asking to explain what he's just said. Really not smart.

A commenter noted that when these "ladies" asked Vance about what Walz babbled, they cleaned it up to make it sound semi-coherent. They couldn't just use his words because his words were Bidenesque.
I saw someone note that -- what people just saw was a smart, capable, nice-mannered fellow against Fat Joe Biden.

Star of Shazam and Chuck (where he co-starred with Adam Baldwin, btw) Zachary Levi endorses Trump, says "We're going to take this country back"
Levi opened the event by explaining that he initially was backing RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential election, and when Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi knew to whom he was sending his support.

I've had a feeling about this guy. A while ago he condemned the "attacks" on Brie Larson and the Captain Marvel movie, but I got the sense he felt he had to do that, because he's in a compromised position: a non-leftist in Hollywood. Glad to have him. I mean he's not Gary Oldman or Nicholas Cage or Star of Stage and Screen Nick Seacy, but he'll do.
Nine Inch Nails started off as a yacht rock band, you know
Sounds more like Kool & the Gang to me. They later changed their sound and recorded it for The MTV
Thanks to @alexthechick
Wait did Whitesnake start as a yacht rock band too?
Again, I think this is much closer to early eighties R&B than yacht rock.

Yacht or Nyacht?
With a combined score of 49.5 on Yacht or Nyacht, I'd say this one is a "Nyacht." No Hoe Snow snap. Not bouncy. Pretty dreary. No smooth groove. You won't be able to snort cocaine out of the cleavage of a "Naval Mabel" or "Poopdeck Patty." Or even if you do, it will be half-hearted at best.
From Instapundit, a Free Beacon Fact Check:
Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled.
Haines wasn't entirely wrong, according to a Washington Free Beacon fact check. Biden doesn't have much in common with the Beatles, but they're both half-dead, half-octogenarian relics who haven't accomplished anything of substance since the 1970s. We rate Haines's claim "mostly true."

I guess that's true if you're talking about the Beatles. But individual members of the Beatles did some decent stuff in the 80s.
