Fake beard?

Anyway, fuckit. Dude gets a lot of grief, but he's certainly not the worst entertainment-industry examples of young talent that can't handle the fame. I thought he handled that well enough, but mostly I credit him for actually explaining the situation pretty thoroughly (and assuming it's true, hilariously).

Anyone else see him in Necrophiliac? Certainly not near the best Von Trier film, but I'd argue it's the best Shia LaBeouf performance. Guy was nigh invisible in that, (thankfully, and again, to his credit).

Von Trier admires Leth to the point of jealousy, thereby making thymological attempts at understanding him and his strange and inscrutable nature and view of the world.

Rand was certainly not a great writer (as is often the case with those who write novels in a language that isn't native to them). As such, there's no comparison between Rand's use of English and say, Dickens' (but you could probably say that about Dickens and almost anyone else, John Oliver included. And Harry Potter isn't much better than The Fountainhead! Or most popular fiction for that matter.)
I doubt most of Oliver's audience have read Crime and Punishment, or The Brothers Karamzov, or The Sound and the Fury. I doubt Oliver's fans are any more "intellectual" or well-read than Rand's, quite honestly.

But Rand didn't even believe in small government. Just limited government. She was certainly no anarchist. John Galt was, perhaps, but not Rand. (The character is not the author.) Both Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand learned from Ludwig Von Mises, and they took what they learned in very different directions.

Yet, most of Oliver's audience probably haven't even read Rand and she's hardly that much of a contemporary topic worth talking about.. So why would Oliver (HBO) want to spend valuable broadcast time talking about her? She wouldn't be a "thing" if they chose to ignore it, and yet they aren't. Why? Might this bit be (the $beneficiary of those who are) uneasy with a potential Rand Paul presidential run, thus needing a straw man with which to link him with "libertarians" and Ayn Rand?

All this "OMG Rand!" going around, and yet her work continues to stick around long after she's gone.. And will likely remain so, given ^programs^ (and commenters) like this and their unwillingness to let it go.

Thanks

I just saw that you can cut and past the automatic German transcript on the video info now, and maybe you even could before, it looks like it might be easier to correct this than to start from scratch? Actually you can get the gist of it from this, so maybe I was a bit hard on it earlier:

Needs Blue Danube..

I'm afraid I have some bad news about the Count - http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/aug/25/count-von-count-jerry-nelson

Where was this 'clarity' in that 'defense'? Beyond the understandable defense of your punctuation mistake, I didn't see it.
Question...IMLTHO? Does this mean In My Lithium Taking Hilarious Opinion? I've honestly never seen this abbreviation before.
Interesting, so you do understand that YOU are the problem, so much that the sift had to invent an ignore 'button' largely to allow others to ignore you, you just insist on being the problem and forcing the community to 'gang up on poor little you' so you can whine about the unfairness of life and other people? Why? Has no one ever told you that 'poor little bully' isn't a good look?
Wait a second...I thought you were the 'waiting for a chance to fuck with others' robot program...is that why you're mad, someone else is appearing to infringe on your domain?

Might I remind you of a previous chat we had....

newtboy said : ...Or perhaps (and this seems the most likely) you're a feckless and feculent fecal philiac in love with reading your own sophomoric posts.

chingalera said :Guilty an all charges Von Astute and might I add, how refreshing your critique of my lack of forethought when responding to regular fare here....



Newts don't buzz or attack, but we are deadly when bitten. ;-}

This guys films are full of some of the most extreme displays of humanity. I really dig them, but they're almost too much. If some horror is so violent it's called "torture porn", Lars Von Triers films are "psychological torture porn".

This one reminds me always of the organ that Peter Jeffery the Sultan had in Baron Von Munchausen- Torturer's Apprentice

Ylvis now has their answer.

Also: tag mistakenly says "Lons Von Trier"? Should be Lars Von Trier.
