Mommie Dearest, Brothers Grimm: Thinking About Cleveland’s ‘House of Horrors’

My new PJMedia article…

The Shubert. The Apollo. Carnegie Hall.

So “The Snapple Theater Center” doesn’t provoke the same reverent awe as do the names of those famous New York City landmarks, but hey, a gig’s a gig, right?

Maybe Christina Crawford inherited more of her adoptive mother’s trooper spirit than she’d care to admit.

It’s so easy to imagine Joan Crawford growling, “Snapple, crapple! The show must go on!”

And so it does: the long running “Mommie Dearest” franchise, one angry daughter’s single claim to fame — first a blockbuster 1977 memoir, then a cult movie — is back in a rather downmarket iteration:

A Conversation with Christina Crawford: Live and Onstage in Surviving Mommie Dearest.

Or rather, was. The show’s very brief run at the Snapple overlapped Mother’s Day.

After more than 30 years of telling all, what possible secrets could Christina Crawford have left to reveal about her infamous mom?

What’s wrong with #FitchTheHomeless: My NEW Taki’s article

Comments should be relatively “Joooo!!!” free!

Confronted by such criticisms, Karber’s now mumbling that standard-issue, dog-ate-my-homework leftist alibi, the one about “raising awareness,” in this case “of the problem of homelessness.”

Guess what? I’m “aware” of the homeless every time I venture downtown.

And by the way: How come I can still see them? Ever since the “homeless” were invented by a terminally damaged, megalomaniac narcissist in the 1980s, we’ve plowed hundreds of millions of dollars into “helping” them, and yet there they still are, stinking up the joint (possibly because the “homelessness-poverty complex” is a thriving industry that keeps other lunatics off the street).

We need to do something about the REAL biggest problem facing the West today

The very existence of this film.

Can we not steal the master print and neg or something?

‘Why on earth would people live in Oklahoma?’ is a good question, actually

What’s the big problem?

I asked the same thing during Katrina:

Why do you people live below sea level?

Some people will compare this reporter’s question to the chick at the Daily Show joking that God sent the tornado to kill conservatives.

Two very different things.

(Also, who cares? SDA makes California-liberal-earthquake jokes all the time — and I’ll bet the folks at Breitbart do too, albeit using their “inside voices.”)

You’re 21st century Americans, not African or Haitians.

Surely you don’t have to keep living in a flood or earthquake zone or in “hurricane alley.”

PLEASE stop spreading urban legend about Disney rent-a-gimp program

The urban legends surrounding Disney are legion.

This one sounds like crap to me, too, but the reason it is gaining traction is that is sounds SO MUCH like something a rich mom would actually do, and, as I keep saying, we have to address the “compassion creep” growing around the “disabled are getting too much special treatment” meme.

Lance Armstrong’s disgrace impacts cyclist fashion

Reveries:

The look of Lance was, of course, all about Lycra, pointy helmets and brightly colored jerseys – a “team kit” as its called. But since “Armstrong has admitted using performance enhancing drugs … looking like him maybe isn’t so cool.”

“People just want to ride bikes without looking like a mamil,” ways Mia Kohout of Momentum, a biking magazine, using a pejorative term for a “middle-aged man in Lycra.”
