Holy mother of DVD extras! (other than Gone With the Wind)

May 2021

“On Wednesday, Amazon officially announced its purchase of the legendary Hollywood film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the 97-year-old home of such classic films as Legally Blonde, Thelma & Louise and the Rocky movies. The purchase of one of Hollywood’s golden-age studios is such a billionaire move. Next [Jeff Bezos] is going to buy Kellogg’s just so he can make the MGM lion fight Tony the Tiger.

The $8.45 Billion deal – more than 40% more than other prospective buyers, including Apple and Comcast, thought the studio was worth – secures Amazon a treasure trove of IP, including the James Bond franchise. Why would one of the world’s richest men pay almost twice the value for a struggling movie studio that recently went bankrupt? 

Well, it could be that Jeff Bezos has an ongoing feud with the former president and MGM owns all the outtakes of The Apprentice, Donald Trump’s 2000s reality show that aired on NBC. Holy mother of DVD extras! The private footage of a TV billionaire is going to belong to an actual billionaire! 

You see, for years, there have been allegations of outtakes from The Apprentice where ‘the slobfather’ uses racist language. Or, to quote Tom Arnold, who claimed in 2016 to have seen the outtakes personally, Trump said ‘every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever’. So, on brand. And if this is true, someday soon Bezos may release the most racist thing in the MGM catalog – other than Gone With the Wind.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

You know the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, you know they're supposedly over, but not really right. We still have people there and that's the same sinking feeling I have about Jay Leno in The Tonight Show. --Jimmy Dore 2/16/14

Did you hear there's going to be a big merger. Comcast and Time Warner are merging. I first of all I think it's great because huge corporate conglomerations always result in uninhibited creativity. --Jimmy Dore 2/16/14

Sarah Palin's back in the news. She slammed Chris Christie for not leaving office for a shitty reality show like any self-respecting governor would do. --Jimmy Dore 2/16/14
