The Ace we know and love... is back.

Johnny Coldcuts can't be far behind...

Sponsors be damned!!

Kinda cute but stupid as a box of Nilla wafers.

Ace, I grew up with Nilla Wafers. I knew Nilla Wafers. Nilla Wafers were friends of mine. Ace, that ditz is no Nilla Wafers.

Are we not going to get even a single post about the really important news of the day -- namely, Will Ferrell being cast in a remake of "Land of the Lost"?

I wonder: will Vince Vaughn play Cha-Ka?

greatest mass murder in American history. Saddam's gassing of the Kurds wins on numbers for recent world history, I think.

Damn. Right after my comment you go and clean up the post, change the sub-heading and some more. LOL.

Good. One less movie to see. One more actor to avoid. Question is, do I extend the ban to the entire Gyllenhaal clan?

Yo fat kid - what was the original sub-heading? And if you please, lay some of Ace's original, uncensored invective on us. Ace may be a sell-out blogmoney coward, but perhaps his comments can retain some of the site's original, unstrained purity.

I'm just waiting for Ace to go back and edit his old posts into a "family-friendly" format a la Spielberg taking the guns out of the cops' hands in E.T. and replacing them with flashlights. All the "fuck"s will be swapped out for "love"s, etc.

I already said "Fucking" twice in the same sentence in the cougar post.

And I didn't change the word to censor myself. I changed it to make another joke-- "Look at how they were dressed."

"Classic" Ace: "Bob Dole's Cock"

"New-Media Star" Ace: "Bob Dole's Engorged Tuminescence"

I already said "Fucking" twice in the same sentence in the cougar post.

Sure, sure - excuses are always free-flowing over here at Ace-Of-Spades. But where's the carefree, willy-nilly misogyny of old? That gynophobic touch to your writing that used to say "I may never know the touch of a woman"?

I miss the old Ace.

Ace, if I donate $5 for your script, will you revert to "classic" Ace again?

I keeeeeeeed I keeeeeeeed!

The new joke was pretty good actually, it's just the "dirty f*ckers" made me laugh out loud...

Uh, Ace, weren't you praising Donnie Darko just the other day?

Wait a minute, I thought these enlightened feminist Hollywood womyn were always telling us that it's wrong to blame the victim. That the victim shouldn't be held responsible when a crime is committed.

Oh, that doesn't apply to the U.S.? Got it.

If I ever run into the person who gave actors - who are paid to speak words written by someone else - the idea that we CARE what they think about politics, I'm going to slap that person upside the head with a cast-iron frying pan.

Uh, Ace, weren't you praising Donnie Darko just the other day?

Yeah, and Secretary too. I didn't know the woman was an f'n' america-hater.

But they're still good movies.

Ace you probably missed it in the Huffington blog piece of mine you linked - but Maggie is one of her bloggers. I tracked it to SA with a hat tip to you. Wonder what he blog will look like, besides getting 100,000 hits a day from guys looking for pics. Can you say Insta-size it. Bitch! lol

She slices like a bag of hammers.

Anyway, what do you expect from Eric Foner's niece?

Running on Empty was pretty good, though.

Yikes, did you just confuse Anne Murray (not to be confused with mezzo Ann Murray) with Patty "Osama day care" Murray?

Great, so we get a sequel to Secretary and Spader, my favorite nutcase other than Malkovich, can beat the fuck out of her some more, only not in such a loving, kinked way

Hey, don't disrespect Gordon Lightfoot. Lightfoot slices like a fucking hammer.

Maggie Gillilihilihy's remarks were gob-smackingly vile. I'm shocked, and will possibly become nauseated later this evening upon further reflection.

Back up off Lightfoot.

Yeah, I botched "Anne Murray." I could not remember her name. "Patty Murray" was what came to mind, after a minute of trying to remember.

"Those firemen who died in the ensuing collapse... dirty whores" ... Hahahha! Excellent retort, and an apt summation!

She's a no talent actress with a surprisingly big gut for a woman with such small tits. Her breakthrough movie had her getting spanked in an S&M romance - an inflatable doll could have hit the big time with that role. Who gives a shit what this moron thinks? In five years she'll be doing dinner theater in flyover country and wondering why people keep keying her car.

She definitely deserved that spanking.

Time to Hoist the Black Flag on that one. Rhetorically speaking, of course.

Sure, sure - excuses are always free-flowing over here at Ace-Of-Spades. But where's the carefree, willy-nilly misogyny of old? That gynophobic touch to your writing that used to say "I may never know the touch of a woman"?

Well, we have learned that Ace is a 30+ virgin, which explains the *ahem* Female Orgasm Myth.

I can't believe how vile all those libs are; all this time we try and do things right and not say anything bad about them and here some actress decides to tell someone else her opinion. God, why don't they just stop answering questions about this and just accept that we're better than them. I really think all our problems would be solved if they weren't allowed to speak their minds.

Wow, you guys are so far off of what being an American means...

Raab -

Can you point out the part of Ace's post that eluded to the fact that the world would be better off if these people just kept their mouths shut??

............?

No?

See.... That's just the thing. Anyone can voice their opinion here in this country. Even fuck-stick liberal S&M "actresses" with last names that defy 17 rules of the English language.

I'm just sick and tired of people like this abusing their celebrity by using it as a soapbox to preach to the "common folk", and then bitching about their record sales tanking because of a Bush-bashing comment they made overseas, or their concert sales thinning out because they took time DURING a concert to voice their personal views to a captive audience.

They're "entertainers".... Nothing more. The sooner the Tim Robbins and the Sean Penns and the Maggie Gyllenenghalehales of the world realize this... THAT'S when we'll be better off.

"Ahhhh... well it's not like she lives near the site of the greatest mass-murder in human history. One can forgive her, for, living seven or eight blocks away, she really can't comprehend the scale of the tragedy we suffered that day."

calling 9/11 the greatest mass-murder in human history is one of the most ridiculous, self-centered things i have ever heard. have you never heard of hiroshima, nagasaki, dresden, auschwitz, east timor, the sudan, el salvodor, cambodia, the trail of tears.....etc.....pull your head out of your ass. yeah, 3000 dead is a tragedy, but in scheme of things, it's nothing. and suggesting that the us bears at least some of the responsibility is pretty accurate as far as i'm concerned. to suggest that we were attacked because the terrorists hate our freedom is absurd, and irresponsible.

It's easy to see where "scumbag" got his name. It was probably "given"to him at the last site he visited.

My rage meter is slowly rising to near Vesuvian levels.
Saying that the US is responsible for 9/11 is equal to saying we go what we deserved, in my opinion. If they didn't hate our freedom then why did they attack the very essence of our freedom, NYC's financial district, the center for Capitalism in the world?
As for Maggie G...well I stopped even acknowledging that celebrities had opinions when I saw Queen Latifa say in an interview that the invasion of Iraq was the wrong thing to do. Does anyone really listen to these people or can most formulate an opinion on their own? Those that take what these jackass celebrities say as truths without doing any research on their own "should be wrapped in tin foil so we know who they are", to quote Lewis Black.
And as for her uncle, the pinko fuck Eric F(b)oner: there is no better illustration as to why Communism fails than Cincinnati, Ohio on December 3, 1979.

Jersey Matt -

You're wrong, but ACE's cocksucking SPAM filter won't let a post go in telling you why. It sees the name Cial**, an erection drug in the post when it doesn't appear in the text. Nor does it highlight which word it misidentifies as Cial** for deletion.

Suffice it to say that everyone now laughs at the idea that 9/11 happened "because they hate America for it's freedoms". Other nations, including our allies, have explained to America quite clearly why America was attacked, as did bin Laden.

And only a few Americans believe that George Bush tripe any more. And all the advisory panels say that the one area we have really failed in with the Muslim World is in strategic communications and outreach since 9/11. The USA is even more disliked now than on 9/10/01.

Hey anon. Fuck off.

No. Really.

Hey, don't forget that COREY HART was in The Northern Lights...

It's easy to see where "scumbag" got his name. It was probably "given"to him at the last site he visited.

man, you're right, you've changed my mind with your superior wit and intelligence. who needs facts when i could just sling a few insults and change the subject entirely.

and secondly, no one is saying that anyone deserved to die, but to say that the government of this country didn't provoke such an attack with certain foreign economic policies is just ignorant. if you watched a foreign country meddle in the politics of your nation, watch them supply religious fanatics with weapons, and watch a good portion of your friends and family tortured, raped, and killed by people put in power by that government. you'd be out for blood too.

oh, and i always thought the best example of communisms greatest failure was when the USSR collapsed in the early 90's. it seems to me that you peoples sense of scale and proportion is a little out of whack.

Scumbag-

What exactly is it that America did to deserve having planes hijacked and flown into buildings?

Here's your chance to exercise your superior wit and intelligence

are you kidding? You can say what you want about conspiracy theories, but the fact remains that the us trained radicalized muslims to fight against the ussr in afghanistan in the 80's.

and i'm not saying the US bears all the responsibility for this shit, but it was the cold war that had a big part in the radicalization of many militants in the middle east. the united states and the ussr played chess with the region, propping up governments, inciting coups, supplying weapons. the former soviet republics have huge targets on their heads as well. the chechen's have been orchestrating attacks on schools and government buildings for years.

i mean why do you think they attacked us? do you think that they just had nothing better to do? and this is a serious question, i honestly would like to know what you think their motivation was.

and this is a serious question, i honestly would like to know what you think their motivation was.

ummm, I asked you first. Your reasoning still does not explain why America is responsible for 9/11. Conspiracy theories are for the mentally ill - I mean this this sincerely - not trying to be "witty" or "intelligent".

Wasn't USSR our enemy during the Cold War? Isn't our enemy's enemy our friend?

Scumbag,

they attacked us because the goal of radical islam is to create a global caliphate. The US "hegemony" (not a bad thing at all IMAO) has prevented their destabilization of their host governments (unless in the sphere of the USSR).

So it's simplistic to say that the US has created Islamofascists. We supported them in Afganistan against the Soviets, sure. But we've also opposed them in Saudi (al Q), Jordan (al Q and various Pali agitatior groups), Egypt (Muslim Brotherhood), to name a few examples.

We have both fostered and hindered Islamist ends, to suit our own needs. We neither created the monster, nor will we solely destroy it. For every example of assisting radical muslims you can find, I can find a counter example.

We simply used the radicals as a tool. That's real politics, brother.

So why did they attack us? B/c they want America to fall so that they can spead an evil theocracy (the real kind) across the whole of the Middle East.

are you playing semantic games now?
no the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. apparently.
yes, the ussr was our enemy, and both countries dragged the middle east into that conflict against it's will. we were trying to gain strategic locations to deploy from in the event of a war, as were they. but we played that game at the cost of their lives/economies/cultures. the people dying in these conflicts werent russians or americans, they were arabs. you don't think you might hold a bit of a grudge if you had found yourself and your family in that situation?
what about my explanation don't you understand, exactly?

but i do agree with your assesment of conspiracy theories.

scumbag,

you wrote "us trained radicalized muslims to fight against the ussr in afghanistan in the 80's" as the reason al Q attacked us.

That's bullshit. They attacked us to destabilize the US and establish a global caliphate, beginning in the sandbox.

What part of that don't you understand?

hobgoblin,
that's my point exactly. we used them as tools. and you're right we have gone to both ends of the spectrum with them. so is it your opinion that we were wrong to do that? and if not, then why are they wrong to try to do the same to us?

lets say for a second that i conceed that point, which is only a half truth, why do you think that they singled us out. why not england, or israel for that matter.

and i was not using that as a reason why they attacked us, i was making a point about how we have manipulated their governments to do our dirty work for us during the cold war. and that's one of the many reasons we have been singled out.

scumbag,

A nation cannot be "wrong" (morally) in protecting itself. Morality is for people, States only need concern themselves with existence.

The jihadi killers of 9/11 were people, and as such, their murder of innocent civilians in a time of undeclared war was a moral crime.

Their interference with our internal stability is not unexpectd, but as I explained to Retard Lad at alarming news, "understandable" does not mean "condoned." So fine, they attacked us. But it wasn't because we supported this gov't or undermined that gov't in the ME.

It's b/c radical islam believes in a global rule of Islam. One religion. One Law. One "God."

Even had we not "interfered" we would be target #1 for attack.

And we have needed to interfere since the dawn of the internal combustion age and the discovery of ME oil.

So what's left is not some pissant blame game," but conquest. Soft conquest (victory of ideals) or hard conquest (a bomb to Mecca). Probably better to do the soft thing, at least first.

This young woman deserves the strongest, sharpest rebuke possible, not just by filmgoers - i.e., don't go to see the wretched piece of work -- but especially by those of us who were most directly affected by the terror attacks.

I lived 4 blocks from WTC and lost my home that day, and was fortunate that I did not lose my life. Remarks such as hers are an insult to the memory of the American martyrs of that day, and as one who lives daily with the aftermath, I am disgusted, not only with her remarks, but with the lack of response to those vile sentiments by the organizers of the Festival.

Those of us who survived that day and who live with its consequences especially have the duty to express our revulsion and disgust with this woman's unlettered, ill-informed, and grossly insensitive statements to the Festival, and to demand an apology from Ms. Gyllenhaal, from the producers and creators of the movie at issue, and from the Festival for not immediately distancing itself from this individual.

Ms. Gyllenhaal has issued a statement that compounds her error and adds insult to injury. As a survivor of 9/11, I am incredulous at the studied intransigence of this immature young girl, and I urge those of you who share my outrage to visit nytimes.com/movies and post to that forum, as well as your favorite Weblogs - and in addition, call the New York City Council and urge them to continue the pressure they have applied to Ms. Gyllenhaal's orginization for her to issue a true apology, rather than the mealy-mouthed, insincere nonsense she has already inflicted upon us.

Ms. Gyllenhaal would do well to remember that freedom of speech does _not_ mean freedom from the _consequences_ of one's free speech. If a public figure makes public (and inflammatory) comments in a public forum, it is not undemocratic to expect that those comments will engender a wide range of freely expressed responses. Her intemperate remarks have served only to increase the suffering of those of us directly affected by the terror attacks, and her arrogant refusal to apologize for the damage her remarks have caused reflects poorly on her, her colleagues, and the TriBeCa Film Festival - an event born from a desire to bring life and hope back to my devastated neighborhood of Lower Manhattan.

hobgoblin,
i would just like to say, thank you.
i'm not being an asshole. seriously, while i may not agree with you, i do respect your opinion on this matter.
it's also nice to have a debate over something that doesn't degenerate into personal insults being slung around.

and i also agree that defending ourselves against this threat, no matter what the provocation, is important. i just don't beleive it's right to think that we(meaning our government) had no hand in stirring up the hornets nest as it were. that kind of ignorance doesn't benefit anyone. i also don't believe iraq was an appropriate primary target in the war on terrorism. i think that the saudi royal family would have been a better place to start. or even iran. i'm not saying i think that saddam is even a passibly decent human, but if you're gonna try to take out all the ruthless dictators with terrible human rights records, there are others to choose from. don't fool yourself into thinking we went to iraq for anything other than "strategery".

and "joseph smith"
dissident opinion and speech is what this country was founded on. it provides the balance needed to keep this country ceneterd. without these voices this country could very well be run by religous fanatics.

also i'm sure she could give a shit what you think about what she said. and she would probably agree that you can respond anyway you like. be that boycotting of her movies or writing out your opinion on a blog.

Chad-

Apparently "Ace" didn't write it, but you sure as hell used it. If only they'd learn to keep their mouths shut so you wouldn't have to worry your precious mind about what they think about shit that impacts their life. God, how presumptious of them to think they could express an opinion about something. Don't you guys like free speech? Why do you hate freedom so much?
