It's part and parcel of the whole voter-blaming narrative that the Clinton cult popularized after Clinton's 2016 failure as a consequence of their Cult Queen's adamant refusal to take any real responsibility for her own failure.

Bog standard behavior for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the other orgs orbiting the "Democratic leadership" in congress. Add the story to the pile. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Imagine Creature from the Black Lagoon on Viagra. Add blood, bosoms and Doug McClure. Bingo.

Alien (1979) Directed by Ridley Scott stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright and Harry Dean Stanton.

That rare beast. An intelligent 50s scifi with a credible concept, feasible threat and excellent effects. Who knew rocks were so thrilling. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classicscifi #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam

Loopy Lugosi steals the lifeforce from kidnapped young women to revive his dead wife. Lovably cheap chills with a cracking cast. 1944. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #belalugosi #horror

Smokey and the Bandit (1977) Directed by Hal Needham in his directorial debut. Starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason Jerry Reed, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams, and Mike Henry.

☢️#165. Omega Doom, 1996. Playing like a wonky spiritual sequel to #Bladerunner, #RutgerHauer switches sides in this mankind vs bot #postapocalyptic oddity. Atmospheric (often to a fault) with sporadic fits of awkwardly edited violence and goofy humor. Fun but flawed. 3.5/5 ☢️

This is getting to be the "Russia, Russia, Russia" of the 2nd Trump regime. Some are so busy trying to dismiss every horrific thing Trump does as a distraction from Epstein that they're distracting from every horrific thing Trump does. This is pathetic. Do better. #Epstein

Deliverance (1972) Produced and directed by John Boorman starring Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox.

King of New York (1990) 🎬🖤 Directed by Abel Ferrara

The Dead Zone (1983) Directed by David Cronenberg stars Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt and Martin Sheen.

What has "aged badly" there is Harris' own incompetence as a candidate--that's what ages ever more poorly with every new Trump atrocity--but that isn't something such creatures are ever willing to acknowledge.

Mutant molluscs menace mankind in an unsung creature feature classic. Terrific fun with superb effects and surprisingly gruesome flair. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam

Released on this day--27 Feb.--in 1970, Dario Argento's directorial debut, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE. #horror #filmsky #moviesky #DarioArgento #giallo #horrormovie #horrorfilm #classichorror

Those things are directly linked. Dems are perceived as weak because the Clintonite-right faction--those "moderates" who dominate the party's national electeds--are, by definition, weak, feckless, useless. This is now in sharp contrast because of Trump.

Marki Bey is knockout as a woman who raises an army of the undead to avenge her boyfriends murder. Ghoulishly funky super creepy blaxploitation gem. 1974. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Like salt in your champagne, Franco's WOMEN IN CELLBLOCK 9 (1977) flattens the senses with icy, sustained Sadean torment crescendoing in perfunctory bleakness diametrically opposed to a discernible authorial preference for dwelling upon halcyon interludes amidst the forêt vierge. #FrancoFriday

#FrancoFriday The House Of Lost Women (1983) Director Jesús Franco

The Devil Came from Akasava (1971) There's a precious mineral that is said to turn certain rocks into gold. What it does for sure is sunburn to death any unprotected human who gets near it. Criminals have it, international spies want it. With Soledad Miranda, from Jess Franco #FrancoFriday

It already has; that's where that "or what's left of it" feels so obligatory. If people don't break with that way of thinking--and break with it in a big way and immediately--there will be precious little future left that's worth living.

Released on this day--26 Feb.--in 1920, Robert Weine's Expressionist nightmare in motion THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. #horror #filmsky #moviesky #thecabinetofdrcaligari #cabinetofdrcaligari #germanexpressionism #expressionism #silentmovie #silentfilm #horrormovie #horrorfilm #classichorror

Shaft (1971) Directed by Gordon Parks starring Richard Roundtree.

Some of them, one suspects, are a little greyer of hair and remember their younger days, when great movies were, indeed, far more plentiful. They're comparing today to a lot better time for cinema, and seeing the past through the glasses of nostalgia on top of that.

Cropping the top and bottom old TV shows so they fill a widescreen display should be punishable by death.

Favourite movie poster of the week: Metropolis Bold Art Deco futurism. A design that still feels radical nearly 100 years on. One of those posters that defines cinema before the film even starts. What’s your favourite movie poster? #MoviePosters #FilmDesign #CinemaHistory #DailyCulture #BlueskyArt

Summer speaks sometimes awkwardly here, trying to go fast and squeeze in a lot of material in a short period, but hers is the real Democratic response.

The Pink Panther (1963) Directed by Blake Edwards stars an ensemble cast led by David Niven, Peter Sellers, Robert Wagner, Capucine and Claudia Cardinale.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

An American Werewolf in London (1981) A vacationing backpacker and known Pepper is bit by a wolf on the moors and transferred to a London hospital where a hot nurse falls in love with him. David Naughton and Jenny Agutter star in John Landis' beloved horror-comedy classic.

Except, y'know, it isn't. If that's what you see as "the long-term damage of Sandersism," then there is no such damage, long-term or otherwise.

A point I've made repeatedly when writing about the Trump regime is that Trump is building a dictatorship--a Trumptatorship--and that all of the ridiculous legal rationales he offers for his actions, when he even bothers to pretend any exist, are just pretense.

Jean Rollin's sensual story of the blood drinking bourgeois is perhaps his most enigmatic movie. Seductively dark and visually striking Eurocult classic. 1979. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #jeanrollin #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Such a view wasn't even true back in the early '90s, when it was current--that approach had a devastating effect on Dems' ability to elect anyone. But yeah, that's what the "seasoned" consultants believe. All the incentives--except actually winning--push them toward their "believing" it.
