Today's news and jokes
This is a pretty remarkable interview with Chris Tucker about Rush Hour 3
One of my favourite things we ever published: @ianshade.bsky.social interviewing Chris Tucker about RUSH HOUR 3. Halfway through the interview, Tucker asks Ian if he's seen the movie, and Ian just can't bring himself to do the disingenuous junket banter anymore. filmfreakcentral.net/2007/08/unde...

From 2007 (I've never seen any of the Rush Hours or X-Men The Last stand (which is also mentioned)):
Here, a brief pause leads the interview to take a more freeform turn that requires some explanation beyond a straight transcription. He very directly asks me: “Did you see the movie?” I explain that I’ve only seen a workprint. “What did you think?” At first, Tucker’s friendliness puts me on the defensive; I recoil with the old polite standby that it’s “got a lot of interesting things in it” and “gave us a lot to talk about,” but Tucker is listening intently, and I quickly find that I’m already pre-empting myself by explaining my discomfort with the film’s Ugly-Americanism. “Somebody else said that today, too,” he says. “So you didn’t think that was necessary.” No. I continue down a familiar path by pointing out the racial jokes throughout the series, particularly Rush Hour 3‘s gags about fried chicken and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. “See, that was all Brett. Yeah, it had a lot of stuff that, y’know, even I was like–” he emits a few sounds of reluctant disapproval. “But I understand, I understand totally… So you think it’s a little too racist?” I do.I go on to tell Tucker about my Ratnerthon, and how instances of racism and misogyny can be found throughout the director’s oeuvre. Tucker asks for a bit of clarification
Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo (art roundup)
I'm reading the book of Alex Toth animation designs, of which a ton is obviously H-B, and it's WILD what they made (or at least proposed making?) into a cartoon in that era. A Moby Dick cartoon?!?!? Where MD is heroic and he has teen sidekick scuba divers??????

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
