DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

Godzilla vs Kong is an extremely stupid movie that nonetheless delivers a profound thematic message: that world peace can only be achieved when Kong (the West) and Godzilla (Asia) team up to destroy the real villain, MechaGodzilla (unregulated capitalism helmed by amoral billionaires).

R.I.P. Terrance Stamp. He became famous as General Zod in Superman, but he was a brilliant actor who I've loved in many other films, especially his amazing performance as the aging drag queen Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

I've forgotten 95% of The Muppets (2011) but will always remember the young kid in the row behind me who made it about 10 minutes into the film before yelling, "IS THIS THE MUPPETS?" and then when his parents said "Yes, shhhh!" He just replied, "WHERE ARE PIGS IN SPACE?!" and the audience lost it.
