Found the point where the phrasing of the meme turned

None of the films Rock Hudson made w/ director Douglas Sirk are streaming — not even as a VOD rental. But 4 of them are on TCM tonight starting at 8pm ET. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his centenary. #FilmSky #TCMParty

Just remembered this trailer, which automatically damned any movie that was playing after it youtu.be/ELeMaP8EPAA

A reminder that Bob Woodward sat on this information for months so it could go in his book.

Harvard: “Because Larry Summers asked his close friend, a convicted sex offender and the leader of a vast pedophilia ring, for advice on making sexual advances on a young mentee, we are cutting off all his responsibilities except close contact with undergraduate women.”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Oh, Netflix. Never change.

It’s not that hard, it just takes time. The current strategy of plopping small movies on 1000 screens for three weeks is guaranteed to fail.

This is an extremely cool story

Our 3yo woke up at 2:30am and needed to get up for a while because he was too “inspired” to sleep. He said he needed to draw pictures for us. For his Mom, he drew a happy sun. For me, he drew “Mustard Penis,” a guy who shoots mustard from his penis. I have annotated the drawing with his explanations

When was it proven?

Rock Hudson was born 100 years ago today. Long undervalued as an actor, he knew exactly how to shift the smallest muscles in his face to move the whole screen. My favorite performances: Written on the Wind The Tarnished Angels Lover Come Back Man’s Favorite Sport? Seconds

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a midterm victory today

Finally, my long wait to revisit THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE has paid off

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

We already have promising medical research to cure disease and prolong healthy life. The federal government these guys bought gutted the funding and shipped the scientists overseas.

Sounds like something the worm would say

Saw this passed around and honestly think a major problem in society is far too much of it is organized around children and it has infantilized adults

Top five movie genres: - Someone I thought I’d never see again has come back - Ooo, someone attractive, I should deceive them - Look at these idiots - There is a vast conspiracy, I should solve it (I can’t solve it) - We love each other but shouldn’t be together

I have a pretty wide latitude for this sort of thing, but Godard’s EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF is one I have a really tough time squaring. I think it’s exhilarating, insightful, and deeply loathsome. Reading about its production only bolstered this discomfort. But it is, still, regrettably, really great.

MINORITY REPORT (2002)

The press contact for FACE THE NATION is [email protected] if anyone wants to explain to them why people might care about a massive pedophile sex trafficking ring that apparently implicates the president and several other powerful men.

The larger discussion of all this is wrapped up in a contemporary notion that I find puzzling of Total Person Endorsement. Nobody can just give props to a single thing people do or make, they feel they have to like and approve of everything about them in order to do so.

Word is the ONE BATTLE 4K will only have it in 1.78:1…disappointed!

This comes to mind

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Reminder that views include a minimum of two minutes viewed

Say what you will about the Catholics….one of the more cinephile-geared religions

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Just woke up from a dream that I saw an alternate ending to RETURN OF THE JEDI that cut to a three-minute scene in the (then-modern) 1980s of a father reconciling with his estranged, now grown children, which faded to a single shot of Luke and Yoda making pottery. It was unbelievably moving.

Gonna be the weird guy and say I like that it’s dark out when I leave work in the fall and winter. Feels correct. Go home and get cozy.

Hold up

You mean the "dump all the small films into 1500 AMCs for a week and let God sort 'em out" strategy isn't working? Shocking.

Why it gotta be shaped like that

One of the great moments of this was Adam West's phone book entries:

It’s me I’m Toad

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

All day every day

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Frankenstein (2025)

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Fucking Children: It’s Unpopular. But Just How Unpopular, And What Does That Mean For The Midterms? We Made An Ugly-Ass Infographic To Explain. We’re CNN.

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

huh, weird, it’s almost as though the thing where social justice movements such as metoo become uncool and déclassé just as they’re on the verge of gaining real currency & causing real change were a process that benefits the wealthy and corrupt already in power and perhaps is even engineered by them

Short form content from losers?

He had something they want, and he attracted other pompous, sub-literate leches. Hayes is decently smart but this one doesn’t seem that hard.

This is why I doubt the GOP holdouts will flip. Trump hasn’t always had their back and he’ll be dead within five years. There would be a massive spotlight on one person flipping that will follow them everywhere. Lauren Boebert is 38 and has a massive ego. Not sure the usual incentives can beat that.
