(Commercial Sting with of the American Gladiators first run's final season's ten seconds theme with James Standing next to Army Text saying The Last Of The Americans. Then a rubber stamp stamps over the entire thing the word Editorial with a turkey gobbling in place of the usual thud from the Rubber stamp)
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. So I'm at the supermarket with my mom getting thanksgiving fixings. (Turkey in the straw plays in the background) You know what I'm talking about, the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, pie crust, green beans, pumpkin in a can, apples, the usual foods we associate with the holiday. But when I got home after putting away all the food, having prepared the menu for cooking and I want to sit down and watch a special on Thanksgiving, I'm inundated with more Christmas ads then I was at the store when they were playing Christmas carols! But that's not to say I hate Christmas, I love Christmas but not while I'm getting the thanksgiving turkey and having said that I've got two little requests. One) Can we please, please, PLEASE wait at least a few days AFTER thanksgiving to promote Christmas and Two) Can we get more Thanksgiving specials? It's not that big a request because quite honestly outside of the fourth of July, veteran's day & all the days celebrating our Armed Forces it's the most American holiday ever as a matter of fact it's the first American Holiday. Celebrated a year after the landed here by the Pilgrims who fled both England and the Dutch the first Thanksgiving was a 3-Day Al Fresco party that was celebrated in late September early October but was nixed the next year due to bad crops & after sending the British packing the 13 colonies got together to celebrate Thanksgiving and while a some of the founding fathers tried to give the holiday it's just due, it was the effort of Sarah Hale who wanted a holiday about home, hearth and food in other words Thanksgiving. In fact Abraham Lincoln got so much that he finally gave Sarah satisfaction and declared the final Thursday in November Thanksgiving until Franklin Delano Roosevelt wanted to widen the Christmas shopping season, yeah even back when F.D.R. was president they were Christmas shopping trigger happy mucked it up but public backlash put it right back and a week or two before Pearl Harbor congress sanctions the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving and it wasn't until a Saturday Evening Post cover by Good Ol' Norman Rockwell to make The turkey the Icon of Thanksgiving. Now you might be wondering how I know that, the answer is simple from a Thanksgiving special episode of Good Eats that aired on the Food Network and outside of The two Thanksgiving specials with Charlie Brown, a few specials that air on the History Channel and an all month glut of specials on both the Food & Cooking Channel we've got zipola in terms Thanksgiving specials or for that matter anything having to do with this holiday and that's a shame because the more we can connect to our past we can make our future better and the best way we can pass down what our forefathers did for us to the next generation and I think that's what Sarah Hale was going for and for her efforts I salute her and it is with that in mind that I beg, plead and cry that for more Thanksgiving specials because if we don't do it for us, then do it for the Next Generation. Well, I hope you enjoyed this editorial and I wish every one a Happy Thanksgiving. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an Apple Cider Turkey Brine to make. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans & That's my opinion.

J.F.K. 50 years later
(Commercial Sting with of the American Gladiators first run's final season's ten seconds theme with James Standing next to Army Text saying The Last Of The Americans. Then a rubber stamp stamps over the entire thing the word Editorial then a secondary stamp covers both with the words "Special Edition")
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views I'm about to express are controversial, I'm not going to lie, these are my No Holds Barred thoughts on an event that happened nearly 19 years before I was born. In 1963 on November 22 John Fitzgerald Kennedy, The President Of The United States, was on a motorcade ride through Dealey Plaza in the downtown Dallas area of Texas when three shots by a former marine who was known to have both Marxist beliefs and had defected to the Soviet Union named Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Since then, every nut with an opinion, every person wanting attention saying they know the truth about what happened on that fateful day even though they're going on hearsay and other people's theories have claimed that there was a plot by someone, something to kill John Kennedy. I am going to say the following, to every conspiracist, to every person with footage of the grassy knoll, to every person who believed Oliver Stone's propaganda picture made in 1991 about the assassination of John Kennedy you're all wrong as far as I'm concerned. Because when it comes to this event, I believe in two things and the two things are Facts & The Truth and for myself we'll never fully know either as long as there are more theories, more people with conspiracies, more people making propaganda like 1991's J.F.K. by Oliver Stone. But for my thoughts on everything is simple, Lee Harvey Oswald acted on his own volition and I'm sure my associate Chris Lee Moore, The Rowdy Reviewer who recently talked about this in a two part review he did and is a citizen of the Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington Texas area are in total agreement in the same Occam's Razor thoughts about this and what is worse is that every conspiracy, every opinion throws a black cloud over the national tragedy that occurred on November 22, 1963 and my parents who were in different places in their lives knew where they were when the news hit. My mom was in school after finishing Gym Class got the news from a teacher who according to her was a strong woman but broke down in tears when J.F.K. was assassinated and my dad was a few months away from being inducted into service when the news hit him. But 50 years later after the event we're still talking about this even to this second means it is still one of the biggest events in American History but we need to let the smoke clear away all the conspiracies in order for us to have both the Truth and the facts on this event. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and I don't need to say anything else.

A "Hornet" gets stung
(Scene begins
with TMZ intro and TMZ announcer shouts)
TMZ announcer:
IT’S TMZ! YOU WATCH IT, WE’RE COOL AS HARVEY LEVIN AND OUR TEAM OF REPORTERS
GIVE ALL THE NEWS TO YOU!
(Scene cuts to
Harvey Levin who oddly looks like Matthew Morrison comes in to the shaky frame
of the camera)
Harvey Levin:
Okay, what do you have for us have, C.J.?
(Camera zooms to
a fifth of an inch away from C.J.’s face and C.J. looks like Mark Salling
oddly)
C.J.: I’ve got
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West & Baby North at the pediatrician’s office!
(Camera cuts back to Harvey)
Harvey Levin:
They’re being good parents? Bigger than the discovery of fire! Run it as the
main headline! (Scene cuts to TMZ
cutaway and announcer)
TMZ announcer:
TMZ! WE’RE EDGY AND THAT MAKES US COOL! (Scene cuts back to Harvey)
Harvey Levin:
Kim, Kit what do you got for me? (Camera zooms to a fifth of an inch away from
Kit’s face who looks oddly like Dianna Agron)
Kit: I’ve got
Tom Cruise throwing a Molotov cocktail at a church ranting how their alien ways
won’t save them from his lord L. Ron Hubbard!
(Camera zooms
back to Harvey)
Harvey Levin: Oh
that wacky Tommy, He’s so silly!
(Camera zooms to
a fifth of an inch away from Kim’s Face who oddly looks like Heather Morris)
Kim: Apparently
Lea Michele has found a new man but he calls himself, “The Last Of The
Americans”. So much for what’s his name right!?(Everyone in the bullpen laughs
uproariously)
Harvey Levin:
“The Last Of The Americans”? Seriously?! How much attention are you looking for
yourself to call yourself that? (Everyone laughs uproariously again.) Okay, Uh?
How do you pronounce your name? (Camera zooms to James Faraci, The Last Of The
Americans ignoring everyone listening to music until Harvey tossed his shoe at
James to get his attention.)
TLOTA: I’m sorry, what were you saying? (Camera cuts to Harvey)
TLOTA: I’m sorry, what were you saying? (Camera cuts to Harvey)
Harvey Levin:
How do we pronounce your name? (Camera cuts back to James)
TLOTA: Say
DaVinci. (Camera cuts to everyone else)
Everyone else:
DaVinci! (Camera back to James)
TLOTA: Now spell
it. (Camera cuts away to Ralph who looks like Darren Criss)
Ralph: I know, I
have the Tom Hanks movie DaVinci!
TLOTA: Good for
you Ralphie! Now instead of Da & Vin. Put in Far and an A that makes an Ah
sound to the ci that sounds like Chi and that’s how you say my name. (Camera
cuts back to Harvey)
Harvey Levin:
Cool, why are you ignoring us when we have to do this. (Camera cuts to James)
TLOTA: I don’t
mean to ignore you guys but this drowns out the screams of “Oh Satan! Please
get your cock out of my ass!” (Camera cuts to everyone else as crickets chirp
then cuts to C.J.)
C.J.: Who is
saying that? (Camera cuts to James)
TLOTA: Edward R. Murrow!
TLOTA: Edward R. Murrow!
(Music from the
last seasons of the Original Run of American Gladiators play Speedy shot of
James Faraci breaking through the American Flag, working out, fighting bad
cinema, bad pop culture anything bad in the world with a picture of the White
House appears in the background as Jack Swagger, Zeb Coulter and President
Obama appear in the foreground as all three fall as James Faraci stands alone
and tall and in Army text the words of The Last Of The Americans stand by his
side)
(Scene begins as
James is reading the TMZ Guideline while wearing Nitrile Gloves and a
respirator mask in a Plastic Wrapped Pleather Chair as Harvey walks by then
walks back to James’s cubicle with a look of surprise.)
Harvey Levin:
Hey James, what’s up with the...stuff you’re wearing? (Cuts to James Faraci
taking off his respirator mask to talk to Harvey)
TLOTA: Speaking
the plain truth, I am about as comfortable here as Mel Gibson is in a
Synagogue. So to clean up my place a little, I washed my Pleather chair in case
the guy who was sitting here before me had a contagious disease I might get
then triple wrapped it in sterile plastic wrap so I’m triple dog sure I don’t
get anything. As for the Nitrile Gloves and respirator mask well, this is a
basic “How-To” book for Prostitutes and if I were to touch or breathe on it
without this stuff, I might get Chlamydia! (Cut to Harvey laughing)
Harvey Levin: You’re a funny guy James, a funny guy! (Cut to James sitting in his chair throwing the guideline and grumbling nightmare and grabbing his cell phone)
Harvey Levin: You’re a funny guy James, a funny guy! (Cut to James sitting in his chair throwing the guideline and grumbling nightmare and grabbing his cell phone)
Cell Phone:
Please enjoy the music while you’re party is being reached. (“Good Ol’ Boys”
Dukes of Hazzard theme and the Rowdy Reviewer answers)
Rowdy (Audio
only): Hey James what’s up?
TLOTA: Dude, I’m
in the level of Dante’s Inferno where TMZ is and guess who’s there now!
Rowdy (Audio
only): Oh boy!
TLOTA: You’re
damned right, oh boy! Can Jeannie blink me out of here? (Scene cuts to The
Rowdy Reviewer’s hand getting a Coconut filled with a drink then to The Rowdy
Reviewer resting in a hammock in board shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and his
traditional Brood cap while Farewell to thee on a Ukulele)
Rowdy: I’d like
to, but she’s at a genie convention in Las Vegas right now and I’m not going to
bother her but before I left I thought I needed a vacation as well so I asked
if she could blink me and the Comic Strip Critic to a Hawaiian hotel. You should
see him, he’s quite a surfing fool. (Cut back to James stuck at TMZ)
TLOTA: Well is
there anything you can do? (Cut back to Rowdy in paradise)
Rowdy: Well my
cats have Jeannie’s Genie Convention schedule, I’ll contact them and see when she has a
few free minutes to call me and I will try to get her to blink you here! Just
hang in there and stay Rowdy my friend. (Rowdy hangs up. Cut to James hanging up then grumbles
Stay Rowdy my friend! Stay Rowdy my
friend! While squeezing his cell phone then sighing to calm down. James then looks
in the cubicle next to him and noticing a nice and quiet woman working there
looking like Lea Michele.)
TLOTA: Hi there,
I’m James. (Cut to The Nice and quiet woman waves and tells James her name)
Karen: I’m Karen.
(Cut back to James)
TLOTA: Karen, you
know if this were something I was working on, I’d introduce myself as such,
“I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express
are that of my own and some of yours.”(Cut Back to Karen)
Karen: You’re the….
(James cuts her off with a shhh! And we get a cut back to James)
TLOTA: No one
& I mean NO ONE must know. Look apparently someone found out that a guy
named James Faraci ranted online about how bad a news site TMZ is, I told them
I was that guy. But someone on research separated me from The Last Of The
Americans which was a mistake on their part because had they put James Faraci
& The Last Of The Americans not only would I be ruined so would Lea Michele
and I couldn’t do that to her. (Sighs) The worst part of this is that after a
few hours here, I’m beginning to think that Seth Rogen might do a better job
running this hellhole. He might be pretty good at this better than he did in
“The Green Hornet” (Scene cuts to Green Hornet opening credit with Al Hirt’s
“Green Hornet” theme plays as well as James does a voiceover random scenes from
the movie) And as an internet reviewer, I’d never thought I’d say this but
“Batman & Robin” is better in comparison, it made me miss the cheesiness of
“Superman III”, “Supergirl” & “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace”,
“Catwoman” with Halle Berry is tolerable, “Howard The Duck” is an academy award
winner in comparison to Seth Rogen’s “Green Hornet”(Scene cuts back to James
& Karen) And what’s worse is that Seth Rogen shows he’s not as good as he
thinks he is. (Scene cuts to multiple pictures of Seth Rogen in different ways
with James doing a voiceover) But that’s not to say he’s a horrible actor and
I’m not saying he’s not funny. His comedic shtick is that he’s a loveable
loudmouth with a good heart but his head is on backwards and nowhere is it more
apparent than in “The Green Hornet” it kind of shows he’s out of place and
somehow Dramatic work won’t be coming his way anytime soon especially after
this.(Scene cuts back to James & Karen.) But hey maybe I’m being too harsh
without giving him a fair shake, maybe he’ll bring his likeability to the role
of Britt Reid aka The Green Hornet. (Scene cuts to Seth Rogen as Britt partying
it up like a jackass then cuts to Britt Reid screaming about his coffee tasting
bad then cuts back to James & Karen.) Karen could you do me a favor when I
say pull would you take this Physical representation I have for my hopes that
Seth Rogen gives dignity in his performance of Britt Reid and throw it in the
air over my right shoulder.
Karen: Okay
(Grabs the box that is the Physical Representation of James’s hopes while James
goes into his drawer to grab a handgun then James says pull, Karen tosses it
into the air James, not even looking shoots it exploding confetti everywhere.)
TLOTA: There goes that. (Bloodcurdling scream and a thud is heard.) And now I apparently killed the announcer.
TLOTA: There goes that. (Bloodcurdling scream and a thud is heard.) And now I apparently killed the announcer.
TMZ Announcer:
You’re wrong, I’m immortal, you can cut my head off and I can die that way but
you can’t find me so I’m gonna live forever and awesome! (James sighs and
places his hand on his forehead)
TLOTA: Fuck me!
Let’s just get to Seth Rogen’s “Green Hornet”. (Opening scene of movie plays as
James does a voiceover)So as our movie begins we see James Reid played by Tom
Wilkinson having to punish his son for getting into a fight. (Scene cuts to
James Reid taking the head off of Britt’s Action figure.)
James Reid: Do
you think it makes me happy to do this? (Scene cuts back to James)
TLOTA: Well at
least its better how my dad punishes me. (Scene cuts to James crying for death
as James’ dad complains as to why James will never succeed then cuts back to
footage of movie and James does a voiceover) We cut to present day L.A. where Britt,
now grown up and played by Seth Rogen is living it up and acting like a jackass
and apparently daddy isn’t happy about the way he’s acting. But thankfully
Daddy’s disapproving ways ends with a deadly bee sting leaving Britt in charge
and it’s here that we meet Kato played Jay Chou, Wait who? (Record scratches
& scene cuts to James on his computer looking up all the Martial Arts
masters and finds squat on Jay Chou) Hey Karen you got anything on Jay Chou on
the realm of the Martial Arts masters on the internet? (Cut to Karen)
Karen: Nothing,
but according to his Imdb he’s a musician. (Cut to James)
TLOTA: A Musician? (Cut to Karen nodding affirmatively then cut back to James) Not a martial artist but a musical artist who makes records. (Cut to Karen nodding affirmatively then cut back to James) Good grief! Maybe he trained for the role. (Scene cuts to crappy effects filled fight as Kato beat up thugs then cuts to James rubbing his forehead to alleviate the headache he has.) Okay Seth, no sarcasm, no snark, no anger, no cynicism. Was it hard to find a Martial Artist who had any acting ability and say “Would you like to play Kato in The Green Hornet movie with me?” Was the budget for Kato’s actor pay so low you couldn’t afford a big name Martial Artist actor, because let me tell you there are Martial Artist actors who would’ve given their Eye Teeth just to play Kato. The reason the 1960’s series was popular over in Asia was because of Bruce Lee, it kick started his career as an Action Martial Artist actor, as a matter of fact the Asians gave that series the nickname “The Kato Show” because of Bruce Lee and just so everyone knows who I would’ve wanted to play The Green Hornet & Kato it would’ve been Gerard Butler as The Green Hornet & Johnny Yong Bosch as Kato. But I digress. The two talk about how big a D-Bag James Reid was and get dressed up in what I have to assume is the Mark One costumes of the Duo they’d later be and cut the head off of his Dad’s statue and as in most superhero movies a Damsel in Distress is getting attacked which convinces Britt & Kato to become Superheroes that act like the bad guys and they will use The Daily Sentinel to promote their antics. (James gets cut off by Harvey Levin)

Harvey Levin
(Off Camera): Story Time!
TLOTA: Speaking
of using the press to promote someone’s stupidity! (Scene cuts to TMZ Logo and TMZ announcer
shouts)
TMZ announcer:
TMZ! WE ARE THE ONLY NEWS SHOW TO WATCH!
(Scene cuts to
Harvey Levin who comes in to the shaky frame of the camera)
Harvey Levin:
Okay people what do you have? (Camera zooms to Barbara who looks like Naya
Rivera)
Barbara: I’ve
got Shia LaBeouf and his dad hanging out as Shia LaBeouf awaits his appeal from
being locked up for life at San Quentin. (Everyone Oohs as camera zooms to
Harvey Levin)
Harvey Levin:
This is bigger than the World Trade Center attack, front page! James you got
anything? (Camera zooms to James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans)
TLOTA: Well, the
latest amount of people who came on the healthcare.gov is over 106,000 well
under President Obama’s estimate and from what I’ve heard over five million
Americans are now without medical insurance. This is a frickin’ fiasco and
instead of President Obama admitting he screwed up and ending this, he’s
keeping this façade that everything is amazing and the website is working. He
is taking our country down the toilet. (Crickets chirp as everyone sits there
as James stands there waiting for any acknowledgement) What? It’s better than
having to hear Walter Cronkite giving Lucifer a blowjob. (Crickets continue
to chirp) Forget it, I’m going back to my cubicle and getting work done at
least that’s productive!
(Commercial
Sting going out with of the American Gladiators first run's final
season's ten seconds theme with James Standing next to Army Text saying The
Last Of The Americans. Then same commercial sting takes us back to the
review.)
(Scene of
Christoph Waltz sitting with James Franco while James Faraci does a voice over)
TLOTA: In the
middle of this the lead bad guy in this played by Christoph Waltz who is named (Christoph
Waltz says Chudnofsky then cuts to James Faraci sitting there with a confused
look on his face and then cuts back to Christoph Waltz sitting forward as he
uses the syllables to pronounce it Chud-Nof-Sky then cuts back to James Faraci
mouthing Chudnofsky and got it and proceeds to continue on with voice over on
clips) Chudnofsky. He’s been in control of the criminal activity in Los Angeles
and after being insulted by James Franco decides to pull out a double barreled
handgun! (Cut to James Faraci sitting there) To be honest that thing is Frickin’
awesome! (Cut back to clips and James Faraci doing the voice over) finds
himself in the middle of a mid-life crisis wondering how he could be more
threatening. But enough of the only good character, we’ve got to deal with the
two jack-asses as Britt does Jack & Shit and Jack left town eons ago while
Pseudo-Kato does all the work including building a fleet of the only other cool
thing in this hunk of shit, The Black Beauty an indestructible car with enough
ammo to give any action star who has wielded a bad ass gun a case of low
self-esteem. But as our “Heroes” and I use the term loosely find themselves in
competition over Cameron Diaz, Chudnofsky discovers that everything he’s built
up is being demolished by The Green Hornet and Kato so he decides to facilitate
a meeting which turns out to be a trap to kill the numbskulls. Kato worried for
his existence decides to tell Britt that he’s been doing the naughty, naughty
with Cameron Diaz and gets himself fired but in the process gets Cameron Diaz
fired as well. (Cut to James sitting in his cubicle) Okay. Let me point
something out, if Kato was having second thoughts why not tell Britt that
they’re getting in over their heads maybe they could’ve worked something out,
but no, Kato lies to Britt, Britt is an unbearable jack-ass. This is the first
time where my support goes to Chudnofsky and at least Christoph Waltz can
forget that he was in this when he wins the academy award twice thanks to
Tarantino. But back to the review. (Cut back to clips and James Faraci doing
the voice over) I’m going to get to the ending of this quickly. So Britt starts
to put the pieces of the puzzle together, Chudnofsky decides to upgrade himself
to Bloodnofsky, Kato gets an e-mail for the Green Hornet to kill Britt, Britt
puts together that the DA & Bloodnofsky are in it together and the DA is
the one who killed James Reid & Kato saves Britt. The two get the DA on a
USB flash drive spilling the beans on what he wants and the connection, the two
get to The Daily Sentinel, cleave the Black Beauty in half, find out that the
USB flash drive is about as empty as Britt’s head, The Green Hornet gets Kato’s
Fighting sense which was established at their first battle together, kill
Bloodnofsky & the DA, Kato & Cameron Diaz help keep Britt’s secret as
the Green Hornet a secret from everyone by having Kato shoot a blank into an
already wounded Britt Reid, the two fix James Reid’s statue and that’s it. That
is how THE worst Comic Book adaptation ends, not with a bang, a whimper or a
shrug. (Al Hirt’s Green Hornet plays over clips as James does voice over
summation.) At least with “Batman & Robin”, "Superman III", "Supergirl"&"Superman IV The Quest For Peace" you know you’re going into a bad
movie but after watching The Green Hornet you’ll understand how enjoyable
these movies are. (Scene cuts back to James in
his cubicle) At times like this, I wonder what someone with talent would’ve
done with this, like I don’t know maybe Kevin Smith of “Clerks” & “Dogma”
fame. (Karen with an audio cut off from James says hey then cuts to Karen)
Karen: Kevin
Smith of “Clerks” & “Dogma” is on line 2. (Cut back to James with a
surprised look on his face.)
TLOTA: Ask & ye shall receive. (Connects to line 2) Hello Mr. Smith, I’m James Faraci, I’m a big fan of yours and (silence for five seconds) really, Harley discovered my reviews, found out I’m doing a review of “The Green Hornet” wait what? (Silence for five seconds) You were going to direct “The Green Hornet” as a follow up to the series starring Van Williams & in which The Green Hornet dies and Kato trains both Britt Reid Jr. to follow in his dad’s footsteps and Kato’s Daughter would be the next Kato & your choices for them was Jake Gyllenhall & Zhang Ziyi? Why didn’t you do it? (Silence for five seconds) It wasn’t worth your artistic vision and soul. (Silence for five seconds) Okay, thanks, have a nice day. (Hangs up the phone and looks at the notes as Harvey Levin walks by James’s Cubicle)

(Hangs up the phone and looks at the notes as Harvey Levin walks by James’s Cubicle)
Harvey Levin:
What you got there, James. (Cut to James)
TLOTA: Hmm? Oh hey, got off the phone with one of the greatest directors who never won an Academy Award, Kevin Smith & how not doing the Green Hornet saved his creative soul. (Cut to Harvey Levin)
TLOTA: Hmm? Oh hey, got off the phone with one of the greatest directors who never won an Academy Award, Kevin Smith & how not doing the Green Hornet saved his creative soul. (Cut to Harvey Levin)
Harvey Levin:
Mind if I run this by the next story get together? (Cut to James)
TLOTA: Yeah, but
on one condition, you have to be honest about the story ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!
(Cut to Harvey Levin)
Harvey Levin:
Okay.
(Scene cuts to
TMZ Logo and TMZ announcer shouts)
TMZ announcer:
NEXT TMZ! KEVIN SMITH TELLS SETH ROGEN HOW HE RUINED HIS GREEN HORNET MOVIE,
SETH GOT STUNG BY SILENT BOB!
(Scene cuts to
Harvey Levin who comes in to the shaky frame of the camera)
Harvey Levin:
Okay after Blubber boy Kevin Smith talked to Seth Rogen on Zack & Miri
about the Green Hornet, Seth Rogen gets the Green Hornet and butt hurts it but
what was Kevin Smith going to do put Jay & Silent Bob in it? What a hack!
(Everyone begins laughing as James begins to get angry and slams his fist into
a wall making a gigantic crater as James shakes off the Drywall dust from his
hand as camera cut to James)
TLOTA: I
apologize for the hole in the wall but Kevin Smith is NOT a hack! He walked
away from “The Green Hornet” because he thought it was a bad idea and
unknowingly saved himself his artistic vision & his soul.(Al Hirt’s Green Hornet plays over clips as James does voice over) Because under Seth Rogen's vision "The Green Hornet" got stung and it's not hard to see why. The heroes are lame, The Plot is Swiss Cheese & outside of Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos & Christoph Waltz there is not one good performance in what is without argument THE worst Comic Book adaptation of a movie EVER! (Scene cuts back to James at the TMZ Bullpen) Besides Kevin
Smith is one of the best directors to have never won an academy award. He made
what I think are the best “Slice Of Life” movies with movies like “Clerks”,
“Mallrats”, “Chasing Amy”, “Clerks II”, “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” and
one of my favorite movies “Dogma” and I loved the moment the characters played
by Ben Affleck & Matt Damon are basically telling the board members their
sins they’ve done in their personal life and I’d like to recreate that moment
right now & right here starting off with you there Barbara (Camera zooms to
Barbara as James does a voice over while walking towards her and the camera)
you said that your niece’s grandchildren were going to wind up on welfare
because her son is a loser. Well, Barb, that guy cleaned up his act, is now
working as a contractor and is an aware and loving parent with their mom in the
picture as well so how wrong were you and by the by, those grandchildren of
your niece’s is doing really well in school! C.J. (Camera zooms to C.J. as
James does a voice over while walking towards him and the camera) you got your
niece’s friend pregnant and although you did the right thing your wife was so
unfaithful you left her and again the right thing but you lost the house your
mom left you because you refused to pay the county. (Camera zooms over to Kim
& Kit) KIT! You disowned your sister because you thought she did the
wrong thing to help take care of your mother who died in 2009 from Dementia
& Alzheimer’s even though neither you nor your sister had the capacity to
take care of her professionally like they could at a professional home. A very
compassionate bitch, you are KIT! KIMMY! Married a redneck jackass who beat not
only you and your three children, he left you, you married a firefighter but
got hooked on making Crystal Meth and you’re now facing jail time! Op! The
surfer dude over there who we don’t know who he is but looks like Chord
Overstreet flew to Bangkok on the company account to make sweet love to an
eleven year old BOY! Ralph, went to Staples, saw his niece there, and gave her
the sideways stink-eye glance because SURVEY SAYS! You were being a douche and
still remain one today. However you Karen, are an innocent, you live a good
life (James gives Karen the Thumbs Up) you rock Karen. But you Harvey commit
more sins in one micro-second then every prostitute on the whole planet do in a
day. If I were to say any one of them out loud, it’d only expedite my one way
ticket to hell. (Whispers into Harvey’s ear as his eyes expand then Harvey
begins to cry) Someone else is claiming to be the father, YOU SICK FUCK! Well,
I guess that’s it and with the exception of Karen here, there is not a damned
soul to be saved here, NOT A GOD DAMNED ONE! You know what makes a soul good?
Fear, therein lies the problem, you don’t fear a thing, you rest comfortably in
seats of power hiding behind your symbol which is your idol, your lives shrouded
in secret even from yourselves but not from God. Oops, forgot something, a
voodoo doll that is carved from an onion which I so happen to have and you know
it sort of looks like you Harvey and you know, if I focused all my energy into
this, I wonder… I wonder (James begins to do a low hum which gets lower &
louder with each passing second until he yells and Harvey ducks! A cell phone
ringing “Go Go Power Rangers” by Ron Wasserman plays) my cell phone, one
moment. Hello. (Scene cuts to The Rowdy Reviewer in a Hammock)
Rowdy: I got a
hold of my cats, Jeannie is available for the next five minutes, you just about
done? (Scene cuts to James)
TLOTA: Just
about, I’ll see you soon. (Scene cuts to Rowdy)
Rowdy:
Excellent, Stay Rowdy my friend. (Scene cuts to James as he puts the Cellphone
into his pocket as Harvey asks who that was as James turns to head down the
hall)
TLOTA: That was
a friend of mine who has equal disdain to your existence. He believes you guys
are the lowest form of journalism and he should know his degree is in
journalism. Excuse me. (James walks down the hall to his cubicle as Harvey and
everyone else look around at each other as James walks back the camera zooms to
James) BUT I DO BELIEVE IN THIS! (James pulls out Chudnofsky’s double barreled Handgun
as the Camera begins to run away from James as James pulls the trigger and
James shouts off screen “Don’t Run! Don’t Run! FAKES! FAKES, ALL OF YOU FAKES!
OH & YOU…” while people scream in fear and gunshots are flying. Scene cuts
to Rowdy on his Hammock overhearing James shout “Kim Kardashian! Who gives a
flying…!”)
Rowdy: “I do
believe in this!” What the frack does that mean? (Rowdy takes a sip from his
coconut as James shoots some more and shouts “AND ONE TO GROW ON!” as the scene
cuts to the TMZ logo covered in blood and Harvey Levin’s head comes off and
falls off the TMZ Logo. Scene cuts to
James picking up Karen and then cuts to James reaching into his pocket)
TLOTA: Gum?
(Scene cuts to Karen cautiously taking the gum then back to James) Go on take
it. You’ve done nothing wrong, the rest of these assholes, they’re all fakes
and you’re a good soul so much so if you’re ever in Sullivan County area of New York, looking for
a job in journalism you can’t go wrong with The Townsman, I know the people who
run the publication, you’ve got a shoe-in recommendation, however I might not
because of one little thing you did. (Scene cuts to Karen looking nervous as
the scene cuts back to James) if you need to know, you forgot to say god bless
you when I sneezed! (James pulls out the double barreled handgun, scene cuts to
Karen screaming in fear as scene cuts back to James hearing from Rowdy shout
out James! From James’ cell phone) you’re getting off light! (Rowdy shouts
James! Again from James’ cell phone) I know, I’m going! (Mutters Jesus what a
way to end a review then shouts quickly in anger) I’M JAMES FARACI THE LAST OF
THE AMERICANS & THAT’S MY OPINION! (James walks off camera as Karen looks
around and sees him in the distance as he shouts “Your ass is so fucking lucky!”)
