Conan O' Brien's opening monologue at 97th Oscars, Hollywood's night to praise Hollywood

If "sex sells," who's buying? Young audiences.

Hollywood loves a sequel. Anora took home five, beating everyone else. Hollywood (the mainstream media dream machine) conditions us what to want and aspire to:

• I'm a man. I want to be rich and find a wh*re with a heart of gold.
• I'm a wh*re. I want to get me a rich man with a trunk of gold.
• I'm a they. I don't know what I want, other than all of it. Is that available?
• This is Hollywood. We'll imagineer it for you all!

"How can we milk more money out of Pretty Woman if Julia Roberts isn't pulling in ticket sales like she used to?"

"I know! Let's dump Buddhist Dick Gere and Hindu Julie Roberts and replace them with like a really rich Russian, who's too young to have that much money and handsome. But here's the twist, he's nice, too!"

"How's that a twist? Richard Gere was the nicest John ever, and Roberts was a ditz."

"Yeah, a sexy ditz. We'll make the protagonist smart, a shark in this version, and -- get this -- they're the victims, like of the Mafia. The women will eat it up, eat their hearts out, and their daughters will push ticket sales like it's all new material."

"Brilliant! What do we call it?"

"Hmm, we'll ask the Numerology Department to come up with something esoteric like, 'A whore huh?'"

"'A bore huh?'"?

"No, neither nor nor bore, wait, that's it! A nor 'uh!!"

"I like it! What's her last name?"

"Like 'Cher,' just Anoruh?"

"But that's 1+5+6+9+3+8=32=5. We need a 3. Let's try 1+5+6+1=3. That checks out!"

"The department suggests Mikheeva as her surname, which adds up."

"Get the psychics in here, we got ourselves a sequel!"

LOL, Pres. Trump gets wrecked at the Oscars...teased twice

'The Simpsons' (first ever and finale)

How 'The Simpsons' animation evolved over 30 years

(Insider) On May 23, 2021, the 32nd season finale of The Simpsons aired on Fox TV, finishing off a landmark season where the show celebrated its 700th episode. The series has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a segment on The Tracey Ullman Show. On air for 32 years by 2021 and still counting, it's become the longest-running scripted series on prime time, the longest-running American animated series, and the longest-running American sitcom.

Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie have evolved a lot over the course of three decades — in the style, movement, and details in character designs, all the way down to pupil size.

This episode of "Movies Insider" turns to David Silverman and Al Jean, two of the main minds behind the show since Day 1, to find out how the show's animation evolved from the rough-around-the-edges style of cartoonist Matt Groening's early sketches to the crisp, clean look of the show in its 32nd season. #TheSimpsons #Animation #MoviesInsider

Bart's Birthday Party (The Simpsons Series Finale)

(Scrooge200) A fake Simpsons series finale involves everyone in Springfield moving on, but Bart is hesitant to change it. Featuring John Cena and Danny Devito. From the Season 36 premiere, "Bart's Birthday."

The Simpsons drops surprise series finale 

(Johnny 2 Cellos) For the Season 36 premiere, The Simpsons has done something unprecedented. They aired a surprise series (not season) finale. Well, sort of.

As somebody who grew up obsessed with The Simpsons, it’s cool to say that the show is going through something of a renaissance. Since Matt Selman took over as showrunner in Season 33, the show (created by Mat Groening) has started to feel fresher like it has a renewed energy.

But I think beyond that, the thing that’s really made me excited about the show again is the ways it’s been willing to experiment. And tonight’s premiere, "Bart’s Birthday," is the perfect example of that new energy.

The Simpsons is bringing something fresh to the table, embracing the show’s obscenely long and storied history to throw itself a premature series finale event. It’s one that celebrates The Simpsons in a way that an actual series finale would never be able to. So let’s talk about The Simpsons season premiere/series finale.

Stand-up Comedian Sammy Obeid (sammyko.com) is very supportive of gay rights, so supportive that he threw his closeted friend a surprise coming out party. He's hilarious, a future presidential candidate, Palestinian-American, and so willing to go there that he was once assaulted while performing.

"…The CIA paid a former Bureau of Narcotics officer, George White, to set up safe houses in San Francisco and New York that were decorated like brothels [dens of prostitution and exploitation]. In one of the memos contained in the MK-ULTRA files for these projects; however, another purpose of the safe house operation is revealed. The CIA was actually testing the performance of ‘Jekyll-Hyde’ identities they had created in the prostitutes. They wanted to see if they could make female spies or female agents with alternate controllable personalities.…"

Dr. Colin Ross is a psychiatrist, internationally-renowned researcher, author, and lecturer. In addition to The CIA Doctors and Military Mind Control, he is also author of Project Bluebird exposing unethical experiments conducted by psychiatrists to create amnesia, new identities, hypnotic access codes, and new memories in the minds of experimental subjects.

CIA’s Lost Magic Manual Resurfaces
Noah Shachtman (Nov. 24, 2009)
At the height of the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000 to renowned magician John Mulholland to write a manual on misdirection, concealment, and stagecraft. All known copies of the document — and a related paper, on conveying hidden signals — were believed to be destroyed in 1973. But recently, the manuals resurfaced, and have now been published as “The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.” Topics include working a clandestine partner, slipping a pill into the drink of the unsuspecting, and “surreptitious removal of objects by women.” "Categories: Spies, Secrecy, and Surveillance).

Exposing true life CIA "mind control"

Victim Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips who extracted her (GoodKarmaPR.com)

Government whistleblowers, trauma recovery expert, and Roseanne Barr to expose torture and mind control in Los Angeles

(Friday, June 5, 2009 7:00-10:00 PM)

Cathy O'Brien was a White House/Pentagon level MK-ULTRA mind control victim, who claims torture was used on her to fragment her personality to make her forget secrets and criminal covert operations she had been forced to participate in over a thirty year period.

"Many of the same criminals in control of the government today were in control of me," Cathy says. "And they are acutely aware that torture and trauma causes humankind to forget." Cathy was rescued in 1988 by Mark Phillips, a U.S. Intelligence insider knowledgeable on CIA mind-control techniques, who acted after he was told by a Chinese Intelligence officer that Cathy and her then eight-year-old daughter, Kelly, were mind-controlled slaves of the U.S. government.

Mark says that the super secret technology used on Cathy, Kelly, and others is an "evolved system of remote human physical and psychological manipulation that has only recently been officially recognized by accredited mental health physicians for what it is -- absolute mind control."

Cathy and Mark circumvented the news media's blackout on their case with the greatest true life love story of extraction and recovery from the CIA 's mind control project ever told.

Hear their story live along with a discussion on the issue of torture at an event called “CIA Mind Control: Out Of Darkness, Into the Light.” It will be held on Friday June 5, 2009. The event begins at 7:00 PM at Hollywood United Methodist Church located at 6817 Franklin Avenue. For more information or to order a CD of the event: (805) 653-1588 or GoodKarmaPR.com. A portion of the proceeds go to Children of the Night, a non-profit that rescues children from the ravages of prostitution.

Joining Cathy and Mark will be Dr. Colin Ross (pictured at right), a globally-recognized expert on trauma related disorders and author of The CIA Doctors: Human Rights Violations by American Psychiatrists.

Dr. Ross provides proof -- based on 15,000 pages of documents obtained from the CIA through the Freedom of Information Act (FICA) -- that there have been pervasive, systematic violations of human rights by American psychiatrists over the last 65 years.

He proves that the Manchurian Candidate "super spy" is fact, not fiction. He describes CIA documented experiments by psychiatrists to create amnesia, new identities, hypnotic access codes, and implanting new memories in the minds of experimental subjects.

Also scheduled to appear is talk radio host (Pacifica), TV actor, and comedian Roseanne Barr. In addition to being a champion for the rights of abused children everywhere, she was treated by Dr. Colin Ross for DID recovery.

• Whistleblowers expose CIA programs, such as MK-ULTRA, that involve torturing U.S. citizens, our allies' citizens, and how these atrocities were allowed to continue under the 1947 National Security Act.
• Cathy O'Brien explains, “Now that torture is finally a pre-dominant political issue, the reality of how it’s actually being used continues to be kept from the public by those in control of the government and corporate media. Those who control information control knowledge, which in turn controls the thoughts, perceptions, opinions, and actions of those they inform."
• What about the argument that torture is justified as a means of extracting information? O'Brien answers, “Considering today's technological advancements, pharmaceuticals, computerization, and classified mind manipulating weaponry, it’s clear to see that torture is not only archaic, but is actually a diversionary issue from more prevalent forms of mass mind manipulation being used on the human population.” More>>
