"Doc:" This Fuckin' Guy Watches a Movie.

Doc
I don't watch a whole fucking lot of documentary films.
My reasons are mostly fucking stupid, so I won't go into them.
But let me fucking say this:
Martin Fucking Scorsese
Is one of the most underated fucking documentary filmmakers alive.

We can start with "The Last Fucking Waltz,"
And mention "Italian Americans"
And then there's the fucking George Harrison one
And the Bob Dylan fucking one
And, although I haven't seen it,
He made one about Fran Fucking Lebowitz, for fuck's sake.
I mean, come on, right?

So, okay, last month,
I found out he just did one
About my favorite fucking magazine
(Or paper, or journal, or whatever you fucking want to call it):
The New York Fucking Review of Fucking Books

This fucking film is called
"The 50 Year Argument"
And I fucking watched it last fucking night
And I fucking loved it
I fucking loved it

It's got fucking James Baldwin in it
And Susan Fucking Sontag
And fucking Joan Fucking Didion
And fucking Gore Vidal
And the father of one of my daughter's friends:
Hugh Fucking Eakin!
(My kid and one of Hugh's kids, and one of Louis C.K.'s kids
Were all in the same fucking K-1 class a few fucking years ago,
But I didn't find out that Hugh worked for
The  Fucking Review until like a fucking year later,
At which point I said to him, "Fuck, Hugh, if I had known this
A fucking year ago, I would have been stalking you
Instead of Louie." Just fucking saying. Anyway...)

So, this fucking movie
Has so many great fucking things about it,
Like how the writers at The Fucking Review
Were practically the only ones who got it fucking right
When Judith Piece of Shit Miller helped lead us
Straight into fucking Iraq by spreading
Cheney's bullshit in the Times.

And how the fucking Review was born
Out of the '63 newspaper strike
And the fucking essay
That Elizabeth Fucking Hardwick wrote
Tearing The New York Times Book Review
A new asshole.

I could go on and on about this fucking movie
But this is probably already really fucking boring to you
Which, if it is, you shouldn't fucking watch this fucking film.

But, come on, Jesus fucking fuck:
Marty made a movie about a bunch of fucking writers
And their editor, Robert Fucking Silvers,
Who care passionately about fucking ideas.
Who the fuck does that?

I fucking love him
I fucking love The Fucking Review
And I fucking loved this motherfucking film.

"Points": This Fuckin' Guy Gets Some Fucking Points.

Points As those of you motherfuckers Who were reading This Fuckin' Blog last year (Or who heard this ) Already fucking know, I like Citibike: I used to have to buy motherfucking monthly transit cards From the motherfucking MTA Every motherfucking month And I fucking hate the motherfucking MTA. Citibike has saved me a shitload of money That would otherwise go to the pieces of shit At the fucking MTA So yeah, I fucking like Citibike. If I had to name the worst fucking thing About Citibike I guess I'd say that sometimes There's no fucking bikes And you have to walk to another fucking docking station And sometimes There's no room to dock your bike So you have to ride to another station to dock your fucking bike But that's really no big deal It's only occasionally a pain in the ass. But, so then, I get an email from Citibike a couple of  months ago, About this new fucking program Where you get points If you take a fucking bike from a to...

Dan West: This Fucking Guy Celebrates A Friendship

So this fucking morning, I get one of these fucking messages from Facebook, Telling me I'm celebrating Three fucking years of friendship Between me and Dan Fucking West. There’s a little fucking video thing. I've never looked at one of these fucking Facebook videos before. It's kind of fucking stupid, But it brought back some nice fucking memories. I really fucking like Dan West. He is one awesome motherfucking motherfucker -  I'm fucking serious like a motherfucking heart attack. But at the end of the fucking video, It says something like, "There are billions of fucking friendships out there, But only one like yours (Meaning mine and Dan West's). That's fucking awesome." I'm not sure why that is fucking awesome. You could say that every fucking friendship Is fucking unique. Is that awesome? I don't fucking know. Maybe it is. No two fucking snowflakes, am I right? Of course I'm fucking right. I guess it would b...

Trump II: Speech* Jesus fucking cocks How do you like the balls on this motherfucking piece of shit? Make the bar so fucking low That that shit looks statesmanlike? That that shit looks good?
