->''"Night’s ''Film/AfterEarth'' production tweets were something to behold, as he simpered on about each shot and edit evoking the emotional wonder and power of cinema, like a blind man telling you how clever his dog is, while stroking a furry toilet seat with a collar on it. Irritatingly, as we constantly see potentially awesome movies dropped from development as studios get jumpy about budgets, it seems like whatever he does, Hollywood just keeps throwing money at him to produce another stinker. How many better films were kept off the screen so that Creator/MNightShyamalan could fart out another one star abomination?"''

->''"In all of the books that have come out about the [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]] administration, it's been extremely difficult to hide the fact that Reagan didn't have the foggiest idea what was going on. Whenever he [[WagTheDirector wasn't properly programmed]], the things that would come out of his mouth were like--they weren't ''lies'', really, they were just kind of the babbling of a child. If a child babbles, it's not lies, it's just sort of on another plane. To be able to ''lie'', you have to have a certain degree of competence, you have to know what truth is. And there didn't seem to be any indication that that was the case here. So in fact, all of the fuss in the Iran-contra hearings about 'did Reagan know or didn't he know'...What's the difference? He didn't know if nobody told him, and he didn't remember if he forgot. And who cares?"''
-->--'''Noam Chomsky''', ''Understanding Power''

->''"Todd Akin has made several legitimate mistakes over the course of his flaccid political career. Appearing on MSNBC today to say more stupid shit about rape was among them, and judging by his apparent [[IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance dogged wrongness]] in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it won't be the last....Akin remains an object lesson on the sort of person who should not run for treasurer of the local Rotary Club, much less the US Senate. The sort of person who, simply by opening his mouth, undoes months of efforts on the part of Republicans who are trying to build a more woman-friendly image in the runup to midterms. He is to the American conservative movement what [[Film/TheGodfather Fredo was to the Corleones]]. Even has the same hairline."''

->''"See, he was running a video store before [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince (McMahon)]] let him write for the magazine...He ''can't spell.'' He can't write or speak English! He 'grew up in Brooklyn n' da Bronx or whateva' -- I'm looking at the guy's pad: he can't spell, okay? It's not like he's a goddamn Rhodes scholar...So he's writing for the magazine. He insinuates himself. He's got good ideas. He has good ideas at a time when they ''need'' good ideas. And, you know, I'm not saying he's never had any good ideas. But you know what the problem is? The problem is that all the good ideas he's ever had is from watching [[SerialNumbersFiledOff those goddamn, cheap-ass B-movies]] that they used to rent at his goddamn loser video store. He doesn't know anything about wrestling. That's why when you hear 'ding ding ding!', it's immediately followed sixty minutes later by 'ding ding ding!' Keep the matches as short as possible. When that bell rings, Vince Russo is lost. Vince Russo is a babe in the woods. Vince Russo is a deer caught in the headlights, as long as there's a wrestling match going on."''

So get that ''wrestling'' outta there, nobody wants to see that shit anyway... Well, goddamn. It's a '''W'''orld '''W'''restling '''F'''ederation. Why don't we put on some fucking wrestling, ''Vince Russo''? Once in a while? What do you want to do, ''Holiday on ice'' with chimpanzees?

->''"The wallet-immolating failure of ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' may come as less of a surprise to us now, in the year 2014, because [[Creator/GeorgeLucas [George] Lucas]] famously has the self-awareness of reheated spaghetti. But back in the golden [[TheEighties 1980s]], ''Howard the Duck''[='s=] cataclysmic release was the first terrifying sign that the Bearded One might not actually have any idea what the fuck he is doing."''

->''"Larry Kasanoff is [[PrimaDonnaDirector a talent-less, classless scumbag]] that should be banned from Hollywood until the end of time. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar All of the inappropriate innuendos]] are a direct product of his [[ExecutiveMeddling 'creative hand'.]] I cannot tell you how many times this moron derailed production with his brainless input. [[DevelopmentHell It literally has cost the studio millions of dollars]]. They eventually stepped in and removed him from the project. Unfortunately, that was a decade and millions of dollars late.]]"''

->''The best thing about Hughes has been his withdrawal from the world--for this, if nothing else, he [[TheLoad ought not only to be honored but encouraged by a grateful nation]]. Yet even in the shadows of his cloistered motels, the inept tycoon insists on pulling strings, making a mess of TWA, a disaster of RKO, a shambles of vice in Las Vegas, all while creating the largest unworkable plywood plane in the world at a cost to the taxpayers of twenty-two million dollars. There is something peculiarly inhuman even about his incompetence.''
