We’ve Reached Peak “View”

It feels like we’ve hit an all-time high of drama on “The View,” and, well, there are still three months left in the year.

This week’s episode was particularly wild, featuring co-host Sara Haines expressing her thoughts on Lindsay Clancy’s husband, wishing he had truly embraced the “in sickness and in health” promise from their wedding vows.

He’s not the only one taking a leap with financial aid for Gaza residents; it’s a bit of a gamble, considering the group controlling Gaza is infamous for mishandling funds—think Woody Allen’s style.

I mean, that’s definitely something, right?

During the same show, Sunny Hostin boasted about being a holdout juror in the infamous 1991 trial involving Daniel Rakowitz, who was dubbed the “Butcher of Tompkins Square Park.” After killing and dismembering his roommate, he ended up being found not guilty due to insanity.

Hostin claims she recognized his psychosis and succeeded in swaying the other jurors “one by one” to her perspective. Strangely enough, her account is not entirely supported by contemporary reports, including her own statements back then, which cast a shadow on her self-proclaimed legacy.

The episode wrapped up with Joy Behar lamenting the lack of a woman president on the horizon, which felt like the cherry on top of this chaotic cake.

It’s like a 10 out of 10, even by the strictest of judges’ standards for “View” episodes. No notes needed…

“Box-office Bomb” for Hezbollah

In other news, the filmmaker behind “What Is a Woman?” and “Am I Racist?” is back with a new documentary. Justin Folk has stepped away from working with Matt Walsh for “Paging Hezbollah,” a project that no Hollywood studio would risk touching.

This film outlines a clever yet sinister campaign involving bomb-laden technology aimed at Hezbollah leaders, well, perhaps one of the most cunning strategies ever devised.

Let’s wait and see if we get any boycotts from the likes of Javier Bardem or Macklemore in 3… 2…

“Saw” Turns It Up to 11

It seems there’s always a way to resurrect a horror franchise. Even after the disappointing recent “Exorcist” reboot, it’s time for “Saw” to make a comeback.

To be fair, the original “Saw” from 2004 was brilliant and unsettling. However, its sequels pushed the genre into the “torture porn” category—a trend I’m not keen to revisit.

But nostalgia is a powerful thing, and another “Saw” flick is coming our way. At least we can rest easy knowing horror veterans James Wan and Leigh Whannell are returning to produce this 11th installment.

If you’re already tired of Jigsaw’s gruesome antics, perhaps you’d prefer some cleverly done spoofs that imagine sharing an office or an apartment with Billy the Puppet, the series’ eerie mascot.

Macklemore’s Palestine-apalooza

So, does Macklemore even consider where the money will end up?

The far-left rapper seems to be making the most out of his career resurgence. After stirring the pot as an opening act for the relatively neutral Ed Sheeran, he’s now set to launch his own tour.

The twist? All ticket sales will supposedly benefit the Palestinian cause. Really?

He certainly won’t be the first to take a plunge with funds aimed at Gaza. The controlling group is quite notorious for misusing donations. Even with good intentions, celebrities historically struggle to ensure that money goes the right way.

Just look at the Fire Aid situation.

As Macklemore stated, “It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t cut it anymore.” This announcement comes as he gears up for a tour that kicks off in Dublin—currently not exactly known for its charm toward Jewish communities.

We’ll just leave it at that.

Maybe he should take some time to truly understand what “genocide” means…

Cruise Faces Box-office Risks

The acclaimed star may be in for a rough ride.

Tom Cruise’s upcoming film, “Digger,” set to release on October 2, was once buzzing with Oscar potential. However, actual viewer reactions have been mixed, with many dubbing it a letdown.

It’s worth noting that early impressions are usually quite rosy; they often skew positively, so this might hint at deeper issues. The film’s box office prospects are fading fast.

Cruise was likely hoping his quirky role as an oil tycoon blamed for an environmental catastrophe would finally secure him that elusive Oscar.

If the buzz continues to sour, he might be looking at a Razzie instead.
