the funny thing is that i bet we are going to see yearly turnaround in these positions, it will be a spectacle

The first step in getting people to understand trump is pointing out how he uses rapid-fire spectacles to divert attention, like a three-card monte dealer.

The second step is that his rapid-fire spectacles consist of hiring lunatics and incompetents to run the country.

To his (screen?)credit, at least Stallone wrote/directed/produced a lot of his flicks, morseso than anyone else in the American 80s pantheon.

And out of the positions announced in the last 6 weeks, dude's done some least damage to American society, Planet Hollywood franchising included.

Oh I'm _including_ Rhinestone. And the Estelle Getty movie. And that weird period gangster comedy in the late 70s. And everything after Demolition Man.
― THE SKURJ OF FAKE NEWS. (kingfish), Thursday, 15 December 2016 22:32 (nine years ago)
And come to think of it, the _other_ period gangster comedy, too

I first rolled my eyes and said to myself, well, he'd be the least objectionable of Trump's appointees. And then it fully sank in that Sylvester Stallone would be the least objectionable appointee of the incoming president, so now I'm just typing this real quick as I plummet from the top of a very tall buildi

isn't Sylvester Stallone actually an active & well-known collector of fine art?

Sylvester Stallone is artsier than people tend to think. This cabinet post is also less important than the Secretary of State or Department of Ed positions so I'm not going to worry about it to much

(Quick cheap plug for the drunken podcast convo I recorded about Stallone movies with some folks a couple months back)

xp, yes a collector and a painter - though a fairly terrible one. He must have pretty good contacts to get shows at MoMA and the Russian Museum.

Moreso than Woody Allen?

I hope woody allen gets a cabinet position

Lena Dunham, too. They could hang out in Comet Ping Pong and talk policy and life, that'd make a movie I'm sure

Best guess: he's trying to cash in.Second best guess: he's mentally unbalanced.

hopefully there's an alternative universe somewhere where a roid-fuelled woody allen spent the 80s enacting reaganite justice against terrorists in a string of highly successful action movies

so the reason they sat on this for a year is...
wait for it...
