Weeks (or almost two months? more?) after the fact, I'm working on a post about 'The Bride!' finally. Then the John Lilly documentary. Hopefully, the writing funk I've been in is at an end, for now. Take care of yourselves, dear moviegoers. And take breaks when needed.

What an odd Wrestlemania, I hear. Didn't watch (wouldn't know how these days), didn't technically care except for Punk vs Reigns, and spent my Sunday night mostly stuck on how this bottle of Dirty Mtn Dew Zero Sugar sucks. Time for a movie.

🏆 #ANDNEW! Roman Reigns beats CM Punk in a 34-minute war, an all-time #WrestleMania main event, to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. #WWE

ALL are worth the support, folks! (and consider ol' Bill, too, wink wink - moviegoingwithbill.com/about)

Embrace the hate. Let it flow.

Lean into the fear, over and over. There's a whole world of possibilty when you expose yourself to your own insecurities.

Give yourself time to write a terrible draft and then walk away for a day or two and let your subconscious keep working. Then you can come back with fresh eyes and tinker tweak But the stakes of being terrible when you’re writing a draft are zero because no one knows! It’s just you and you!

Only five days left in my campaign for my 10th book and first novel, a Freddy Got Fingered-themed parody of Five Nights at Freddy's called Five Nights at Freddy Got Fingered. Time is running out!

I wrote up a new About page for the blog. Too much? www.moviegoingwithbill.com/about/

“while many people associate Autism with the puzzle piece 🧩, the use of the infinity symbol ♾️ is considered by the Autistic community to be the accurate and empowering representation of the Autism acceptance movement, as people with Autism are not problems to be fixed or solved.”

We cannot thoughts and prayers our way out of this public health crisis.

I don't know. I think Ned Beatty as Doctor Doom is a hell of a choice!

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Shreveport this time. "This time." "This" should never happen.

The power of moving images and music:

Some ambitious Democrat humor me and run for president just repeating just these simple ideas: 1) justice / prosecution / revenge against Trump + GOP 2) anti corruption across the board! connect to above 3) universal healthcare 4) universal human rights 4) no USA tax $ or weapons for genocide

I've never been able to vote for anyone that had my best interest at heart. I've always had to vote for the lesser evil and I will continue to do that if I must. But as a trans disabled person I would just like for once to be able to vote for someone who really truly cares about disabled people.

Going to a formal event that celebrates Freedom of the Press where some of the other guests don’t understand the importance of the 1st Amendment? The Reporters Committee for the Free Press has some great accessories — including the below pocket square!

A zoom...? a moving camera...? If you look in the background, the secrets of this scene from THE GRATEFUL LITTLE MICE (1908) reveal themselves. The actors were on a platform that was wheeled toward the camera. Notice that the cabinet in the background doesn't get closer.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Radu Jude, the director of “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World,” says Donald Trump reaches a level of “dumbness” he finds “fascinating”: “If he was an artist, I would say, ‘Wow, he’s great.’ The problem is that he is the President.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/GuEUDz

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.” America’s Mayor can’t miss.

Ozempic-fueled malaise? It's a thing, I hear. Might have it, what with my stalled writing and all. Doc is bumping up my Vraylar, starting next weekend. Meanwhile, I've lost ten pounds. Progressively, I move along.

I love how "WWE Criticism" is trending. I still believe in heroes.

One thing we have to keep an eye on is just how prone so many of our fellow leftists are to replacing one demagogue with another. Just because they are temporarily useful or are also attacking a common enemy does not mean they are permanent allies. 1/x

At this point, I wouldn't technically mind a Dem/Repub Presidential "unity" campaign combo, ala 'My Fellow Americans'. Just...depends on who, what platform, etc. Until then, I'm still full on, no excuses, progressive.

We at Disney thought: “How can we charge more money for tickets if DUNE 3 is on all the IMAX screens?”

I’m “on-the-spectrum” and find these comments from Bill Maher extremely offensive. Being “on-the-spectrum” has nothing to do with supporting crypto or AI - that’s just called being an asshole

He's getting "fluffed." (sorry.)

We all celebrate Superman Day differently, Krypto's eating treats, Supergirl is off on an adventure, and Superman is...hanging out with Lex?

It’s the classic media problem: Democrats are supposed to be moral and consistent, so doing a cynical move to counter Republican bullshit is grounds for a handwringing and somewhat complex story. Republicans blatantly cheating with a mid-decade seat-stealing campaign is treated like the weather.

Guess who's back?! I return to streaming on Monday at 3/4 PM ET! Be there or be square!

Are we going to though? If I hear Dems talk about 'moving past it/unifying the country' I will go insane.

If Blockbuster Video had thought they could make $5 by selling the list of everyone who rented Schlinder's List to the KKK they would've done it in a second. It's not like evil corporations didn't exist back then!

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

SHERLOCK JR. (1924) Directed by Buster Keaton, it's a wonderfully imaginative film, full of extraordinary tricks so immaculately executed that they look simple. It's a piece of native American surrealism.

I've decided to turn the WHAT ARE WE WATCHING TONIGHT (WHILE THE WORLD BURNS)? film series into newsletters for POP 'N' PIZZA. Each volume will cover 15 movies - first one will come out next week (3000+ words). Subscribe at: www.popandpizza.com

Wrote about Trump "negotiating" with himself to put potentially $10 billion of public money and stick it in his own wallet.

Hey y'all! Please please please make sure to include ALT TAGS on all your images on Bsky. Blind people, people with processing disorders, etc. deserve access to the same information. It's harder for me as a disabled person to share images if you don't have tags on them.

They just did it in New Orleans yesterday. Separated parents from children after a hearing at the Immigration Court. Trained court watchers saw the whole thing. Children are with family now but can't find location of parents.

Bawitaba indeed.
