Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

Always good for a rewatch.
You finally post something I agree with. A true masterpiece, Kubrick was a genius.
Yep
100% agree - thanks for the clips!
There’s about 12 alleged Hollywood pedos just in that trailer.
Stop glorifying Hollywood pedos and DC pedos.
Don’t even tolerate pedos!
Drag them into the streets and dispose of them like vermin!
So many quotable lines that can be used in normal day-to-day settings.
5:21 wtf does kubrick have to do with this post?
5:21 -
Coppola, not Kubrick.
Apocalypse Now was a really good movie. I think calling it one of the greatest of all time.
It’s the third-best film Coppola made.
Fun fact: There are some hybrid versions of “The Godfather” films floating around out there you might catch on cable TV occasionally. I think one is called “The Godfather Saga” or something like that. They’re essentially mashups that combine elements from I & II, with some deleted scenes from each thrown in.
The reason those are out there is because Apocalypse Now ran so over budget, Coppola had to agree to the Godfather splice jobs to cover the overruns.
Absolutely one of the best ever !!!
I love the smell of a good Kingfish post in the morning.
Smells like……..Victory!
Highly recommend Moyar's latest.
Not even in the top 1,000.
Although it's a made up story, it will always be a snapshot of the madness of the Viet Nam war.
9:30, I’m guessing you don’t like anything without a Marvel superhero in it?
@10:09, this is 9:30. Actually no. I don't watch or read any sort of cartoon/animated/fantasy and almost no sci-fi. I have had no familiarity with superheroes since the 60s, except of course Will Dabbs.
4 years after the movie came out, I spent 6 years in the US Army. Couldn't begin to count how many times I heard Army bands play The Ride of the Valkyries because of that movie.
Kubrick’s Vietnam movie is Full Metal Jacket. This is FFC’s. Both movies are amazing. Both directors are as well.
The most accurate war movie would show central bankers colluding with their cousins in the media/Hollywood, Joint Chief’s, and congress, to convince everyone that some dirt or rice farmer is a threat to our national security, and that we absolutely must send our young people to die so they can profit. Then we can burn up all the military surplus that was bought with borrowed money and then borrow money to make more military surplus and the cycle never ends!
I’m not surprised they haven’t got Toby Keith to make a pro-Ukraine war song.
Looks like the entire planet is more into Oliver Anthony right now.
The best movie in the last 44 years would be The Passion of The Christ by Mel Gibson. Second would be Schindler’s List followed by Uwe Boll’s Rampage
I just love the Barbie movie.
The song barbie sings is divine!
And she has perfect teeth, body & face.
on the other hand, Marlon Brando wipes his bald head an says.
"We vaccinated little kids in a village and the V.C. chopped their arms off. And we found those little arms all in a pile."
I doubt it!
3:37, are you OK?
@4:23 PM
It’s called PTSD
We don’t take care of our vets.
And we send them and their buddies to die in pointless wars.
They come home and do their research and realize they were used for what?
Then they come home and have to be all patriotic when goobers say “thank you for your service” twice a year.
Frederic Forrest should have won an Oscar
@ 7:07 AM - Lighten-up Francis.
