That goes back a lot farther than just the last 3 elections; the Clintonite right (and, more broadly, the right wing of the Dem party) has gotten its way for decades. That's how it got so bad and why those last 3 stand out.

So the "wealthy white men" were backing democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, whose campaign was primarily funded by small donations from supporters, and not Hillary Clinton, who created a complex money-laundering apparatus to allow this contingent to give her campaign many times the legal limit?

“NETWORK” (1976) dir. Sidney Lumet Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall 🎬 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Danger Diabolik (1968, Mario Bava)

Wonderfully moody fog-cloaked poverty row gem, a superbly spooky ghost story clearly low budget but steeped in cheap creepy charm. 1946. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam #horror #film

The government does not have the right to violate our rights, yet it does every day. Because this is true, our guaranteed rights aren’t inalienable—they’re revocable privileges. We didn’t ignore the Constitution. The government did. 🇺🇸

"The Giant Behemoth" (1959) was described by its director, Eugène Lourié, as a rehash of 1953's "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" (Lourié having directed both movies). However, there are also parallels with "Godzilla" (1954) - itself a "Beast" knock-off. #Kaiju #Godzilla #scifi #horror #horrorfam

One can, however, say with absolute certainty that a Harris administration would lead to a return of fascism in a much worse form only a few years later. Empowering the Clintonite right doesn't stop fascism; it just makes it stronger. Electing Biden saddled us with the much, MUCH worse Trump 2.0.

China Moon (1994) Madeline Stowe begins an affair with cop Ed Harris, but is it just to help her knock off her rich, abusive husband? Benicio Del Toro drinks beer over ice. Mrs. Mac sell guns in a motel. There's a few script questions, but we enjoyed this one.

"The Sin of Nora Moran" is now available in restored HD! This Poverty Row, Pre-Code marvel stunned audiences when it was released in 1933 with Zita Johann starring Nora Moran, a young woman sentenced to death for a murder she did not commit. Order now: a.co/d/byx3rt1

The problem: one could replace "elections in November" in your post with any number of other things and Trump has, in fact, gone right ahead and done them anyway. The courts fight him on this but then it gets to the Supreme Court and they just let him do whatever he wants. #Trumptatorship

Follow the money.

Hammer turn Hitchcock for one of their less known psycho chillers. A deviously mysterious tale of amnesia and bloody murder from Freddie Francis. 1965. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

i think even with all the atrocities of the fascists, nothing is more demotivating and nothing makes me want to disengage from politics more than being inundated with replies from people who do not know how to think about politics beyond “dems good and wanting more from them is bad”

Their insistence that Clinton was the one to beat Trump is what saddled us with Trump. Their insistence on Biden is what saddled us with a much, MUCH worse Trump and may very well have ended the U.S.. The notion that they were "correct" about anything is delusional, an obscenity.

On this day--11 Jan.--in 1972, John Llewelyn Moxey's THE NIGHT STALKER debuted on ABC. #horror #Kolchak #filmsky #moviesky

What you do there in that thread is very useful. I'd pair it with a rundown of things Trump has specifically done and how the institutions of the liberal democracy have reacted to it, or, more precisely, have, in almost every case, folded to it, and the implications of that.

Her last "threatening" words to the ICE agent were, with a smile, "I'm not mad at you." His last words to her, after he shot her in cold blood, were "Fucking bitch." Perhaps, perpetually lying JD Vance is as big a sociopath as Jonathan Ross.

I think a large majority of Americans fall into that 1st category. Not that they're Dems but that they still think we have a constitution and the liberal democracy. They're just going about their lives, trying to get by as best they can and almost none of them understand what's happening.

Made a new poster of Robert Johnson with a bunch of period correct details. I looked at the original Vocalion record sleeves/disc labels to pull decorative framing elements. The font (redrawn) is from the 30's. The clothes, guitar and portrait are all based on 30's photos. Star marks his birthplace.

A reminder that while this is a comic book account, comic books are absolutely political because they ALWAYS have been.

WATCH: ICE denies her medical care from a physician after the shooting… (From huff post)

Here's the problem with prosecuting the murderer: "according to the law," any charges brought against the murderer will be bumped up to federal court, at which point Trump's U.S. Attorney will dismiss the case and refuse to prosecute.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

I've been watching KINO LORBER's blu-ray of THE NIGHT STALKER (1972) as my Go-To-Bed movie the last couple of nights. The transfer is pretty exquisite, and it's a hell of a fun movie, and looks much better than you'd think a TV movie from the 70s would Darren McGavin is superb in these!

British director Connor nails the cannibal caper with a delightfully dark wit and the terrific Calhoun. Ghastly fun that pitches the comic tone perfectly. 1980. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Chaneys last fling under wraps as musty monster Kharis may be a tad tatty, but it brims with cheap charm and the spooky mood is terrific. 1944. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam

Werewolf vs the Vampire Woman. 1971. Fur meets fang in one of Spanish horror hero Naschy's finest. Europulp gold and bloodsucker Shepard's a scream. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #spanishhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #paulnaschy

Scanners (1981) Written and directed by David Cronenberg.

I think a large majority of Americans fall into that 1st category. Not that they're Dems but that they still think we have a constitution and the liberal democracy. They're just going about their lives, trying to get by as best they can and almost none of them understand what's happening.

I've written a lot about Marvel wasting wide swathes of its vast and rich mythology from the page when adapting its characters to the screen. All of these (long) "Comic Book Movies & What Ails 'Em" articles are full of that: #Marvel #MCU #comics jriddle.medium.com/comic-book-m...

In what sense does electing bad candidates that Americans will hate, thus guaranteeing that fascism will return to power in a few years in an even worse form than before, constitute "standing up to actual Nazis"?

Roger Corman had fallen in love with his huge, very cool sets for THE RAVEN--a story in itself--and when he got rained out of a planned tennis-match, he decided to use them (and the time) to come up with what became this movie, starring Karloff and Nicholson, who had just done that movie. #horror

The original John Ostrander Suicide Squad was a REALLY great book, something I'd love to see brought to the screen in a recognizable form. The Ayer film from 2016 was godawful, an embarrassment. The Gunn picture was galaxies better but still succumbed to standard Hollywood Big-itis at the end.

Or maybe... Trump did that?

Manhunter (1986) Written and directed by Michael Mann based on the 1981 novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.

Hammers handsome sole zombie film is now sixty years old. Splendidly eerie and bristling with subtext its a chilling last of the old-school living dead greats. 1966. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #film #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Evil Lorre lords over tropical torture and terror in Colombias gripping collision of brutal crime thrills and horror. Superbly sadistic fun. 1940. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #film

A lot of studios, given something like Flash Gordon, would have just thrown the comics in the trash and made something unrecognizable. Here, the production aims for a great deal of fealty, even though the sheer scope of the source material has it punching insanely above its weight-class. #filmsky

From Poverty Row, an example of how one can make a pretty good little atmospheric spook-story with about 50 cents and a few bologna sandwiches. #horror #PovertyRow

Dead Man (1995) Written and directed by Jim Jarmusch stars Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer and Robert Mitchum.

One has to appreciate its visual simplicity but while often praised, sometimes as one of the all-time best TZ eps, this one just isn't very good. Seems, in our present era in particular, incredibly dated.
