At the “Adam Ruins Everything Election Special” taping earlier this month in Los Angeles, even the warmup jokes had their eyes on politics. As standup comedian Jared Logan primed both the audience and the sound technicians for the ensuing show, he invited the audience to test laugh: “Imagine if Tim Kaine just told a joke.”
After 19 episodes of the truTV show already under their belts, Tuesday night’s special represents the most ambitious “Adam Ruins Everything” project yet: an hour-long examination (and in most cases, refutation) of some of the most commonly held refrains of this election cycle.

Hello to Jason Isaacs! Through roles in an impressive array of movies, from indies to massive blockbusters on both sides of the pond, he's become one of our favourite character actors. We've found that no matter how the film turns out, you can guarantee that if he's in it, his performance is going to be one of the highlights.
Off-screen, Isaacs has a whole other profile of popularity. Out of several prominent celebrity fans of Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's film review show on BBC Radio 5 Live, he's the patron saint of their “church of Wittertainment”, and “hello to Jason Isaacs” is the show's first, most popular catchphrase.

HBO’s “Confirmation” is already coming under fire from D.C. lawmakers who allege there are “grave inaccuracies” in the docu-drama chronicling the Anita Hill hearings. Former senators Alan Simpson of Wyoming and John Danforth of Missouri are among those speaking against their portrayals in the film starring Kerry Washington, reports Politico. Simpson is even threatening legal action. “I don’t know what I’ll do but it won’t be fun and games,” he told Politico. “I won’t just sit still. I’ll have a response, I always have.

Earning a meagre $54 million at the box office on a $30 million budget, the Farrelly Brothers reboot of "The Three Stooges" wasn't well received: audiences were indifferent. But that doesn't matter. Why? Because The Three Stooges are a brand, and so another movie is in the works. Perhaps to little surprise, 20th Century Fox is not involved. Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso will reprise their roles as Larry, Moe and Curly in this new indie production. A action star will join the cast, and of course all kinds of licensing and whatnot is being planned. Did no one in a position of importance realize that there's not enough of an audience to justify this project? No director or screenwriter has been revealed yet.

Script for fourth episode of 1955 show catalogued along with those for and by the likes of Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers
When Tony Hancock failed to turn up for three episodes of his radio show in 1955, producers simply replaced him with Harry Secombe as if nothing had happened. The fourth episode followed Hancock and Sid James as they travelled to Swansea to thank him – where they found him singing down a coalmine.
The recorded episode was wiped and continues to be lost, but the script – along with a host of others – has now emerged. They have been catalogued by the actor turned rare books dealer, Neil Pearson.
It is a true treasure trove, featuring scripts by and for comedy stars such as Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Frankie Howerd and Kenneth Williams. "It is a rather extraordinary and rather moving collection of material that reminds us of how we used to...

Art films don’t have to be serious, but a lot of them are. Madness, suffering, death—at times these become depressingly familiar themes at film festivals. For this reason, the rare comedy film is welcome: comedy highlights of last year’s festivals were Matchmaking Mayor at Berlin and Sons of Norway in Reykjavik. Although you’re primed to enjoy them, comedies are a reliable choice, as they typically have to be original, as well as funny, to be included in the festival.
What if you could have a festival that showed nothing but comedies? And what if it cheered you up during the most depressing month of the year? That’s just what the charity ‘Loco’ has done this year.

They made TV history together and were planning their next film – until Tony Hancock rejected their script. Ray Galton and Alan Simpson reveal why The Day Off is now back on
The best review we ever had wasn't from a critic. It was from an artist, Lucian Freud. He said that The Rebel was the greatest film ever made about modern art. The 1961 movie was the first, and sadly the only, film we made with Tony Hancock. It's the story of an office clerk, played by Hancock, who believes himself to be a great but undiscovered artist. When he's fired from his job he moves to Paris, in the hope that the art world will recognise him for the genius he is. Of course, being Hancock, he's a terrible painter, but his ability to act like a genius persuades a group of fashionable young artists that he might be the real deal.

London, Jan 2: The script that led comic legend Tony Hancock to leave his hit writers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, is going to be made into a film, more than 50 years after it was first written.
Galton and Simpson, who had penned all of Hancock's television and radio series from the early Fifties onwards, came up with movie script The Day Off in 1961.
But Hancock, who was keen to crack Hollywood at the time, insisted it 'wasn't international' enough.
He then split from Galton and Simpson - a move which is regarded as the biggest mistake of his career. While they went on to write the hit sitcom Steptoe And Son, Hancock succumbed.

As a teenager back in the UK I can honestly say that Intruder was one of my favorite horror flicks. I was hooked after seeing it splattered across the cover of Gorezone (#6 I believe). It was released there on vhs with Uncut Version emblazoned across the cover art, which I believe was a mistake as it was to be released with a couple of minutes chopped off.
Anyway, December 13th will see Synapse release this beauty, which is also known as Night Crew: The Final Checkout, onto Blu-ray just in time for Christmas. And will you just look at that glorious artwork!!

Synapse Films is proud to present Scott Spiegel’s Intruder, the “holy grail” of extreme gore cinema, in an all-new 2K high-definition transfer of the original uncut, uncensored version. Sam Raimi (director of The Evil Dead and Spider-man trilogies) and Renée Estevez star in this blood-drenched cult film classic that critics call “a gorgeous low-budget shocker that has long been one of the best kept secrets of the genre scene” (Alan Simpson, Sex Gore Mutants). Be sure to look for Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, TV’s Burn Notice) in a cameo role.

The Day Off, by writing team Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, was unearthed during research for a new biography of the duo
They wrote some of the funniest, most memorable British comedy of the 20th century. Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's scripts for Tony Hancock had lines so brilliant, characters so absurd and jokes so sublime that they embedded themselves in the national consciousness.
Fans should prepare themselves for a treat, though, because the best may be yet to come. The Observer can reveal that Galton and Simpson completed a feature-length film script for Hancock that has never been made public. The Day Off, the gut-wrenching tale of a hapless bus conductor who just can't get anything right, has been hailed as a lost masterpiece and "the holy grail of comedy".
"It's probably the best thing they ever wrote," said Christopher Stevens, the author and journalist who stumbled on...

Deficit Commission Co-Chair, former Republican Senator and always outspoken critic Alan Simpson shared his thoughts on the S&P downgrade during a phone call today on the Fox Business Network. Simpson declared he found it "stunning that people are disgusted" when everyone in Washington knows what's really going on and scolded everyone who is complaining now by telling them "what did they think was going to happen?"...

Director best known for Georgy Girl, a romantic comedy set in 60s London
The film and TV director Silvio Narizzano, who has died aged 84, handled several genres throughout his career, including black comedies, period pieces, social dramas, action thrillers and horror movies. But one picture, his swinging London romantic comedy Georgy Girl (1966), stands out from the rest of his eclectic filmography.
Georgy Girl was part of the trend in which British cinema shifted the focus from provincial life and back to the metropolis, celebrating new freedoms and social possibilities. Narizzano, influenced by the French New Wave and his chic contemporaries Richard Lester, John Schlesinger and Tony Richardson, explored such "shocking" subjects as abortion, illegitimacy, adultery and sexual promiscuity with a light touch. The film, which took its cue from the jaunty title song by the Seekers, had superb performances from Lynn Redgrave as the virginal and plain Georgina; Charlotte Rampling...

Here’s Illinois state senator Christine Radgono reading a letter about financial security from a noted expert on the topic, Wu-Tang’s very own Raekwon (or I believe it’s pronounced, “Ray Kwan”). It’s got everything you want in an internet video: Serious people reading rap lyrics + only 50 seconds long + wholly sound financial advice (in lieu of a kitten slipping into a jar of milk): With that 50 seconds, Christine Radgono has officially replaced Mixmaster Alan Simpson as politics’ flyest rapper.

Gene Sperling is White House point man for what may be the most delicate negotiations of the Obama presidency. Lloyd Grove reports on the latest turns in the debt-ceiling drama.
Gene Sperling-a key White House player in the bipartisan negotiations to raise the federal debt ceiling-is a devotee of the iron fist/velvet glove school of politics.
As President Obama's top economic adviser, he had a hand in the recent presidential speech that trashed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's deficit reduction plan as a savage attack on old folks, college students, disabled kids and sick people, as well as an obscene gift to millionaires and billionaires.
Sperling loved that speech.
Ryan, not so much. An invited guest who sat in the front row at George Washington University during the speech, the congressman was at first surprised, then angry as he listened to Obama demonizing him and...

The birther craziness, along with the innuendo about Obama's grades and the purging of dissenters, revealed a deep Gop divide that risks undermining the party going into 2012, says Howard Kurtz.
The regular Tuesday meeting of the House Republican caucus grew heated last month when some of the more seasoned lawmakers said it was time to "shut up," as one put it, about the birther issue.

The caucus has 85 new members, more than 30 of whom are new to elective office- "the kamikazes," they are privately called-and some took strong exception to being urged not to talk about President Obama's birth certificate. "Well, I don't think he was born in this country," one freshman snapped.
The birther nonsense seems especially pointless-and corrosive-when one considers that Obama was planning the helicopter raid that would kill Osama bin Laden days later,...

As everyone knows, once you get old you're allowed to say anything you want to anyone you want to at any given time. Period. It's one of the biggest perks of aging! Few people, however, have wielded this privilege as well as Wyoming's former Republican Senator, Alan Simpson, of "Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg" fame. Simpson's now tackling more serious political issues than his dislike of rap music, and took to Hardball to slam what he views as hypocritical policies in his former party. A few choice quotes: - "Who the hell is for abortion? I don't know anybody running around with a sign that says, have an abortion, they're wonderful. They're hideous. But they're a deeply intimate and personal decision, and I don't think men legislators should even vote on the issue." - "We have [...]...

Former senator Alan Simpson called Snoop Dogg “Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dog” on Fox News this week, and the clip ended up all over the internet and in our hearts and minds and molecules of laughter spilling back out of us. As we learned in Internetting 101: Introduction To This Thoughtless Sprawling Wasteland That Consumes Most Of Our Lives, that means it’s time for a Reeeeemixxxxx — please enjoy this Snoop Dogg feat. Alan Simpson rendition of “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip Someone had to do it, so thank the guiding hand of Pete Schultz for taking it upon himself and not just driving past the broken-down car on the side of the superhighway (that broken down car was us waiting for this remix to happen. Or something. The analogy kind of works if you squint super hard and can’t see anything.

Here’s Alan Simpson, former senator of Wyoming and current Still High Enough Up In Government For This Clip To Be Really Funny, ranting about the ungrateful kids of today and blaming two of the rappers that kids really look up to. I’m gonna have to Altavista these names real quick, but I’m prettttty sure he did not say the names of those rappers correctly: So he’s the guy who decides the Grammy nominations. I always thought CBS turned into a human once a year and just dished them out. (Ed Note – I spelled “Dog” with one G in the title because there’s no way that someone mangling those first three words that badly would know or care about the double-g spelling, and I don’t want to give him false misleading credit.)

Out of left field, it's Alan Simpson with the best clip you'll see all day. The former Wyoming senator and current co-chairman of President Obama’s deficit commission was on Fox News Monday night, talking about the elderly and Social Security, but he made an epic turn midstream, and ended up on the grandkids and their pop culture. Now don't be fooled by Simpson's age and think he's not fully tapped in to what the kids are listening to. He gets it. Oh, how it gets it. He knows "they’re walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg."...

As everyone knows, there is nothing funnier in this world than old people interacting with pop culture. Especially when that pop culture is in any way related to hip hop. Further proof of this hard-and-fast fact was provided today by Alan Simpson, the Republican co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission, who decided that an appearance on Fox News (ostensibly to discuss budget cuts and Social Security) was the perfect time to vent about everything that's wrong with kids today. Watch the above clip for Simpson's bout of verbal cane-waving, in which he drops the following gems: "I think, you know, grandchildren now don't write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they're walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they [grandparents] don't like them!" And just like that, after [...]...
