Samuel L. Jackson: Why, God, Did You Spare Tampa of Your Wrath?
— Ace

In the old times, we didn't hear from celebrities except when they went on talk shows to say the same three things: "I loved this script," "I always wanted to work with this director," and "My co-star was so giving."

Maybe that was for the best.

I guess we always sort of knew that.

1 I wish celebrities would just shut the fuck up so I could enjoy their movies.

3 Yeah, back in the studio machine days you could love a movie star because they only showed us the lovable side. We didn't hear about how Rock Hudson was homosexual (that one still amazes me, he was all that is man in his movies) or what a political radical some other actor was. I don't know, I don't want to know, and it doesn't matter anyway.
What Ted Danson thinks about the oceans matters about as much as what the random guy on the barstool beside you thinks about the price of stamps.
Shut up and do your job. Mouth the lines someone else gave you and look pretty. Nobody gives a crap what you think about anything else.

16 Jackson was joking. Not particularly clever, not all that funny. But it was a joke. I see no actual delight in people's pain or misery in this. I have no problem with the comment other than it is awfully predictable. He should have looked for a better angle.

58 Mitt Romney's not really human!

The Dems are so deep in their own narrative, that they've forgotten the first rule of political lies. It has to be plausible! Calling Mitt Romney all these absurd names is really hurting them because it exposes them for the lying hacks they've always been. Mr. and Mrs. L.I. Voter can persuade themselves that they're all about helping the country when they're really all about helping themselves, but they need to be able to convince themselves of their good intentions first. When the lies become so blatant, they can no longer do that.

69 Samuel L. Jackson: Why, God, Did You Spare Tampa of Your Wrath?

I wonder why Sammy La Jackass didn't get pissed off at the computer models for being so ridiculously inaccurate and lying to him ... getting his hopes up for death and destruction to those who actually love America and Americanism.

Watching how the tracks of all the models are all over the place, spanning thousands of miles, and have all had to be "adjusted" several times, already ... I think I could be more accurate looking at tracks of old hurricanes and penciling in a track or two.

86 This is all a real shame because Sammy La Jackass stars in one of my favorite movies. What's a shame is that some idiot had to cast this miserable piece of shit in a great movie when there were tons of other people who could have easily done as good a job as Jackass, most better. The movie was great. The casting sucked. Sammy La Jackass is a very replaceable actor and I wish he would just be replaced, already. He brings nothing to anything - nothing that a ton of others couldn't, though most would do much better, as I said.

89 It was also a really hateful statement. There is no wiggle room around the fact that he wanted Republicans to suffer from the effects of a hurricane. I am personally happy that storms seems to tamp down the number of protestors in Tampa, but I don't wish them any harm. Even the ones that bring machetes strapped to their legs, and insist that there is nothing wrong with it, especially after they have threatened attacks against repubs. That right there just oozes tolerance and respect for other people's opinions.

111 79 Pale Rider,

Hancock County MS has issued an evac warning to all residents in low lying areas, those near rivers, etc. Hancock is the southwesternmost county in MS.

All rivers in the coastal counties are forecast to exceed flood stage.

It's gonna get wet and windy down here.

121 Oh and yes. Pot makes you stupid. I keep saying that and inevitably someone says "no way dude I smoke pot and I'm just as smart as always!" I'm sorry I have seen it happen again and again with people. And when they stop smoking, they regain their mind's sharpness again, over time. Minus the burnt out brain cells.

123 114: GnuBreed, I was just thinking that if the heaviest rain shifts west very far at all the shelter in place idea from mayor Landrieu "I can be just as dumb as Nagin" could have ugly consequences. It was the water not wind that clobbered then with Katrina IIRC.

127 So far it's Samuel Jackson and that has-been Ellen Barkin. Who the hell told these people they're smart enough to make political commentary. Your average drunk in a tavern at 1 A.M. makes more sense. I want the commie in chief to be beaten just so that the entertainment industry fools can go all batshit crazy about what racists we are.

It's worth watching. There are a few annoying parts but nothing that can't be pushed aside for the deeper content of it, which is great. There is a bit of a foreign feel to its production (more British than American, as ace once noted) but as with the above minor issues, not a big deal given the whole package. Very intense. It really is a shame they didn't cast someone other than Sammy La Jackass.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at August 27, 2012 03:42 PM (X3lox)

134 I've mentioned my old bosses were huge libs. In 2008 they filled the lobby with Obama shit. It was truly obnoxious. I went to the Big Boss and asked him if he really thought we could alienate a third of our client base. He got very huffy with me but I held my ground. I pointed out I didn't have any political stuff up because our clients had a reasonable expectation to not be offended when they came to the office of someone they were paying. He finally got the point.

163 If you followed the NOAA updates (especially the Discussions) of Isaac as it moved across the Atlantic and into the Caribbean, you know that the NOAA forecasters utilize several different computer models in predicting storm tracks.

The models usually vary - as they did in this case. Not surprisingly some of the models predicted the course Isaac actually took - some of the more reliable models, in fact.

But put yourself in a NOAA forecaster's shoes: There were some models out there that showed Isaac threatening Tampa. So - what does any good bureaucrat do? Sure - go with the worst case scenario and look, maybe, a little silly when it goes way west of Tampa. But consider if you predicted the Louisiana path, and - for some godforsaken reason - it actually turned toward the GOP-convention Tampa. You're career as a NOAA functionary would be over.

Those earlier discussions are still archived at the NOAA site - check 'em out. You'll find the same philosophy governs intensity forecasting as well - always forecast at the high end of the model-mix. Then you'll be OK. Try to get too accurate and - yes, you'll be right most of the time. But it's that nasty little "one time" that gets you.

I see SLJ and its an instant reaction from my thumb on the remote, instictive almost. Samuel L. Jackson can say whatever he wants, I don't give a fuck because the idiot is insane and proves it daily.

Isaac is a tropical depression and everyone is peeing in their pants. Granted, its the first storm in the Gulf in a few years but damn, grow a pair and put on your big boy pants, its not the end of the world. Do your normal prep for bad weather and you're gtg.

171 That cannabis story is sort of... weird. First, it only happens to kids. In the adult group, no marked decline. The test criteria is for habitual users ("habitual" = smoking 4 days a week, over 3 or more yrs between ages 18 and 3

. Then they used IQ test results from when the kids were 13. But the first year they ask about cannabis usage is age 18. How dumb did the kids get in the 5 years in between the first IQ test and the first cannabis smoking? No idea. THEIR IQ'S WEREN'T TESTED AT AGE 18. But when they were 38, they were tested again, and the fraction of people who WERE habitually smoking at 18 had lost an average of 8 IQ points, while those who started habitually smoking at age 20 or older showed no marked decline. It almost suggests that constantly doing drugs hurts developing cognitive skills or something...? The weirdest fucking thing is that kids who smoke a lot of weed get dumber... BUT NOT ADULTS.

What a hypocritical piece of shit.

Remember all the accusations that Republicans were rooting for a bad economy? Rooting against the economy!!! Nothing could be worse. We know those godless pukes have been cheering for a major hurricane for the last week and as we all know, storms are racist, so Democrats are willing to sacrifice a few low info voters in the low lying areas of Tampa to get people talking about katrina.

Posted by: tocquevillian at August 27, 2012 05:38 PM (iuY0Y)

177 Why? Because God loves a winner! The mere presence of the GOP in Tampa persuaded God to blow the hurricane out to sea.

Habitual use of alcohol during the teens brain development years lowers the IQ too. Not to mention abusing any narcotic prescription drug. The pillheads were the most obviously brain damaged when I went to HS in the 70s.

I also know some teenaged potheads that went on to get advanced degrees and are quite successful.

And to steal a comment from the article, if your IQ is so low that an 8 point drop puts you at a disadvantage, you were stupid to begin with.

NEXT!
