You’re an acquired taste Dave, you know that, you always take it to 11 to prove a point that things are so absurd that 11 is the new one. I’m not a Nick Fuentes type so the real crazies you haggle with are Greek to me. You did piss me off a number of times with your Tucker and Trump reality checks, and I’m no apostle: no guru, no teacher, no method. But, I had blind spots and that what satirists do. So. As you already know. Fuck ‘em. They mistakenly subscribed and weren’t really ready for the ride you are offering.
Hey Dave , it's me again, your dual subscriber from Texas. I hope you're in your dungeon in front of the green screen, makin' another video, the one where you stirred the beans was quite entertaining, 'specially the part where you told us about Jorge losing his film festival, I almost passed out from laughin' !!!
I suppose when you do post another vid a whole bunch of morons will instantaneously, simultaneously UNTHUBSCRIBE.
I'm going to be able to drink again in July. I prefer making videos with a little tipsy-ness, so count on one next month! I'm just not as funny during sober June.
Poor Jorge. Dave's hysterical laughter when recalling Jorge's suffering may have been the eeriest manifestation of Schadenfreude I've ever encountered.
So, I don't get my fix because some moron doesn't understand what a subscription is? Thanks moron. Earlier my son was wondering what the death toll would be between Father's Day cookouts and the Juneteenth parade in Philly. I said, "You need to start reading Dave." I share bits and pieces with him, but I think he would really enjoy reading it himself.
The increase in fast food prices, particularly McDonald's. Will put a damper on the amount of black violence, at these establishments. However, it looks like Juneteenth celebrations are going to "pick up the slack". Yesterday in Texas 2 shot dead and 6 wounded at a Juneteenth celebration. Chicago had over 35 people shot, many celebrating Juneteenth.
I can sympathize. When I was thinking about doing a blog some time ago, a friend told me that he would proactively unsubscribe. It's sort of like getting a note on your online dating profile from someone who says, "Please don't contact me." You write back, "Okay, I won't," and then they write back saying, "Good. Thank you."
My uncle was in the Navy in WWII, and as a little kid my mom and I used to spend summers at his upstate NY house. I learned the difference between nautical and land-based terms early on!
Funny, that popped up in my recommendations a few days ago! No, I've never seen a video promo made up 50% of nonexistent films. I've seen printed promos do that, but never a video one. But Cannon was always crooked as hell.
Some one in the comments said of these movie where made later under other names. I was really interested in the dustin Hoffman flick and the white slave. Omg a black man saving a white women from a Turkish slave market. Omg cannon.
None of those unmade films were ever made elsewhere or under another name. The question I'd have as a former film financier middleman is, did Cannon have letters of intent from Hoffman, Norris etc.? Because unless you can show a potential investor a letter of intent (or the next step up, a deal memo) with the A-list star, you literally CAN'T go begging for money for that film because it's so outside the norm of how it's done.
Of the films that got made, does anyone have any faves? I liked Tough Guys Don't Dance, directed by Norman Mailer, and with Ryan O'Neal & Isabella Rossellini in the leads.
I saw Godard's King Lear at the Somerville Theatre in Somerville, Mass., pretentious Masshole that I am.....
"Last week he was fitted with his colostomy bag, Star Wars fans finally getting the answer to the age-old question of how Darth Vader “goes” in his suit." A rare case of POC-on-white violence I understand.
I can see why it would tick you off! It’s free and the person takes the time to subscribe. So, ok, they aren’t into it, why not just forget about and move on? But noooo! They’re going teach this bastard a lesson! They’re going to UNTHUBTHCRIBE!!!! Such douche bags.
I think it's that people don't like to read--- try posting videos instead, even if they're only 5-10 minutes long. Leave the writing at Taki's for the eggheads, let the Substack be geared for the populists!
I HAVE been wanting, all year, to do more videos. To be honest, one reason I haven't is that I have to cross Ratibor's domain to get to the green screen room. The materials to wall him up arrived last week, but my newest gout, which is finally easing up, prevented me from building it. Once I reclaim that corridor, I'll do a video!
I don't think anyone who doesn't want to read is going to like your videos any better. Me, I haven't seen any of your videos, so maybe they're terrific. It's just hard for me to imagine them being as layered and insightful as your writing. I just watched Kiss's video for "Uh! All Night" for the 1256th time since 1986, so obviously I'm up for a little video Jewnery.
Wikipedia sez Piper wrote ten books. I wonder if they were ghostwritten or if he wrote them himself. Wiki concludes:
Piper's body was discovered on May 30 or May 31, 2015 at the Budget Saver Motel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The deputy coroner's report stated that the cause of death was a "probable Myocardial Infarction, Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Coronary Artery Disease", and listed diabetes as another significant condition. The report indicated that toxicology results were consistent with her findings and that no autopsy was conducted. The article gave Piper's age as 54.
He tried to reach out to me in 2013 after I was "outed," but it was odd because I'd only met him once, like 20 years earlier, and we weren't even acquaintances let alone friends. Maybe he wanted dietary advice. If so, he came to the wrong guy.
I am not an American, Dave, and I like the way you pull no punches in your portraits of contemporary America. I could not describe your target audience but we are maybe window shoppers who finally see a product we like, but don’t, like the price tag.
You’re an acquired taste Dave, you know that, you always take it to 11 to prove a point that things are so absurd that 11 is the new one.

Great comment, Pete. Thank you and much appreciated.
It’s a close one, Cole, but I’ll stay thubthcribed, provisionally
God bless ya!
How many of you can claim that you like Dave so much, that you subscribed twice? I am a dual subscriber !!!
Bless you, sir!
Hey Dave , it's me again, your dual subscriber from Texas. I hope you're in your dungeon in front of the green screen, makin' another video, the one where you stirred the beans was quite entertaining, 'specially the part where you told us about Jorge losing his film festival, I almost passed out from laughin' !!!

I enjoy watching your videos while properly inebriated, it ain't the same thang sober .
LOL!!!! It's the ONLY way to watch 'em.
Poor Jorge. Dave's hysterical laughter when recalling Jorge's suffering may have been the eeriest manifestation of Schadenfreude I've ever encountered.
LOL!!!!
Neat trick!

Thank you so much, Sandy! Next weekend expect a complete Juneteenth mortality wrap-up.
The increase in fast food prices, particularly McDonald's. Will put a damper on the amount of black violence, at these establishments. However, it looks like Juneteenth celebrations are going to "pick up the slack". Yesterday in Texas 2 shot dead and 6 wounded at a Juneteenth celebration. Chicago had over 35 people shot, many celebrating Juneteenth.
Yep! Next weekend there'll be a piece tallying up this year's Juneteenth dead. It's a yearly thing now...the Juneteenth funerals.
With all the black people gettin' shot at these Juneteenth festivals, perhaps the shootings are sponsored by the KKK?
Celebrate good times, come on!
Eventually it will be: Cell-abrate in jail
LOL!!!!
Based Fuentes ball waxer to groupthink Groyper, “Did you hear?!”
GG: No what?!?
BFBW: Cole just EYE-ROLLED the JOOZ!
GG: Thubscribe! Thubscribe!
GG: Now he posted a hook nosed meme!
BFBW: Thubscribe! Thubscribe!
Guessing you get my point (although the dearth of cane-based quaff might be deleterious to your good judgment)
Folks that leave you Dave, shouldn’t have “thus bribed” (thanks Siri!) in the first place.
They obviously need one another, but you and the rest of the “Beverley Colebilliesl” don’t require mental sputum.
Well-said, my friend.

A man who knows the difference between half-staff and half-mast! You'd probably not be surprised at how often I have to change that.

https://youtu.be/zSSTNLqoac8?si=C4lw6qwYZQVU1J4X off topic, but have you seen a promotion package like this where these put together for investors?

That's really great-- someone in the YT comments made these helpful observations about the video:
Actually, 20 of these 29 films (or about two-thirds) actually did get made…eventually:
Over the Top – yes, in 1987. Earned $16.1 million.
La Brava – no. Dustin Hoffman dropped out of the project.
Superman 4 – yes, in 1987. It was flop, earning only $15.7M.
(untitled John Travolta project) – no. Travolta wouldn’t make another movie until “The Experts” in 1989.
Spider-Man - no. Cancelled.
Kick and Kick Back – yes, in 1992 as “Sidekicks”.
52 Pick Up - yes, in 1986. OK reviews, earned $5.2 million.
(untitled Roman Polanski project) – Yes! “Pirates” came out in 1986 and immediately bombed, earning only $1.6M on a $40M budget.
Masters of the Universe – yes, in 1987. Earned $17.3M...the most of any movie on this list!
Housekeeping – yes, in 1987. Made only $1.1M.
Street Smart - yes, in 1987. Got good reviews (especially for Morgan Freeman, in his breakout role) but made only $1.1M.
Duet for One – yes, in 1986. Based on a British play, got good reviews, earned $8,736 (not a typo).
Rumplestiltskin – yes, in 1987. Billy Barty’s only lead role in a motion picture.
Number One With a Bullet – yes, in 1987. Earned $410,952.
Zorba, the Musical – No. A hit on Broadway in 1968 and revived in 1983, but the film never happened.
The White Slave – No. Cancelled.
Journey to the Center of the Earth – yes, in 1989. Albert Pyun finished it. Awful.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 – yes, in 1986. Earned $8M, now a cult classic.
American Ninja 2 – yes, in 1987. Subtitled “The Confrontation”, earned $4M.
Captain America - No. Cancelled.

North South - yes, in 1988 as “Powaqqatsi”. Earned only $589, 244.
King Lear – yes, in 1987. Directed by Jean-Luc Godard (!) and based not all on Shakespeare’s play. Earned $61,821.
Citizen Joe – no, sadly. Cannon promised a sequel to the original “Joe” as early as 1980 (“Joe II”), but it was never made.
Too Much – yes, in 1987. Filmed in Japan with a mostly Japanese cast, about a little girl and her robot. Box office unknown.
Give a Girl a Break – no. Intended as the film debut of the Dolly Dots, a Dutch all-female rock band, who had many hits in Europe but none in the US.
Sinbad of the Seven Seas – yes, in 1989. Filmed in Italy, box office negligible.
It Ate Cleveland – no. Intended as a spoof; originally titled “Godzilla vs. Cleveland”.
River of Death – yes, in 1989. The director was later fined for shooting in South Africa.
Ben, Bonzo and Big Bad Joe – yes, in 1988 as “Goin’ Bananas”.

If I still had YouTube or Twitter, it wouldn't bother me so much. But this is ALL I GOT!!! I hate seeing the numbers go down. It's MEAN!

All of my banned videos from my banned YouTube channel were preserved on AltCensored. They're an acquired taste.
(view count is AltCensored's, not YouTube. On YT, I had over 3.5 million views)

His videos are fucking hilarious, I can assure you, sir.
Start with the Christmas reading he did about the colored fellows and their cold fries.

My thanks, good friend!
Iffin' a stoopid phaggot wants to unthubscribe - they can fuck off and die like the little bitches they are!
Amen!!!!
Chrissy Hyne of The Pretenders and Devo are from Akron, Dave.
Oh, guess I proved your point!
LOL!
Is Briahna Gray a less successful Michael Collins piper. He could get fast food (as evidence of dying of fatness). God was she annoying
LOL! I love that analogy!
He was twice the Jew blamed that she could ever be. Watch she gets on some black Nubian cans of corn for Christmas channel. Hating yaqub for the jews.
LOL!!!!
You mean like Dr. Yakub?
