I have a soft spot for Kurt Sutter, not just because I love “Sons of Anarchy,” but also because we suffer from the same ailment: foot-in-mouth disease. (Also, maybe too much bitterness in our hearts.) But one of us will be less likely to spew bile in the form of 140 characters or less; this past Sunday, Sutter laid his oft-quoted Twitter account to rest. Now, Sutter being Sutter, this doesn’t mean we won’t be privy to his thoughts … on his show, the industry and his reactions to “SOA” praise and criticism — his blog is still running strong and his WTFSutter youtube series rides on. But I, for one, shall miss the man’s succinct and sardonic soapbox squawking:
“me, david simon and frank darabont are meeting at home depot to rent chainsaws and woodchippers.”
“sorry. need an attitude shift… rainbows and puppies. fuzzy ducks and teddy bears. apple pie and sunsets. lollipops and handjobs… damn.
because you know if we were nominated i’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a dick.
“there’s only 1 gun down my pants and it’s only half-cocked.”
“Had most of the day to process the GG snub…still want them all dead.”
“F—k glee. hate those annoying, ‘please accept me for who I am’, singing brats. there, I said it. are you happy?”
“why darabont got fired - weiner. he held AMC hostage, broke their bank, budgets were slashed, shit rolled down hill onto gilligan and frank,” “no one else wants to f—-ing say it, but the greed of mad men is killing the other two best shows on tv — breaking bad and walking dead.”
“the worse part of not getting any emmy nods is all the wasted blowjobs i gave at the academy picnic. my breath still smells like sour amonia.”
“the worse part of not getting an emmy nod. katey promised me a threesome if she won. now i have to settle for me, her and the shaved bunny.
“i have trouble determining the line between honesty and brutal frankness. i usually get pushed past it by bullshit and injustice. apparently speaking one’s mind is outrageous, troublesome and self-indulgent. man, this is a town full of silent, terrified dicksuckers.”
R.I.P. @sutterink. “Sons of Anarchy” returns 10 p.m. September 6.
Those could be the reason I finally sign up for Twitter.

FYI to Sutter and other artistes:
Corporations don't like it when you are candid about the political bullshit that happens behind the scenes (no matter what kind of corporation it is).
It's very entertaining for those of us on the outside, but to the corp., it's hanging the company's dirty laundry out there for everyone to see. Makes the bosses look bad. Even if they deserve to look bad, it's not like they're going to admit that, not until after they retire and write a tell-all book and have no consequences to worry about, like losing their jobs.

That second tweet makes me think you quoted the wrong Femmes song.

If only the entire industry was that publicly honest...

Will he settle for a 21 half-cocked gun salute?

I don't always agree with what he says but I completely love that he says what he thinks.Hollywood is so PC that actors/directors are like politicians and Sutter is....well, honest.
