Here are some of my favorite movie scenes of all time (minus ending scenes or plot twists). Just iconic scenes that work as small cinematic masterpieces in or out of the context of their movie. 🧵

What would you do if you found out, over Thanksgiving Dinner, that a member of your family is a serial killer? How could the people you've known all your life possibly turn out to be monsters? Thanksgiving, in stores today.

@manruss.bsky.social came on Escape the Mojoverse early this year to talk X-Factor and at the end he said his favorite holiday was Thanksgiving. I can not fucking wait to have this book in my hands. A Mark Russell horror comic set at Thanksgiving sounds like exactly what I need right now. #comicsky

Terrorbytes #1 is some entertaining satire and commentary about today's technology #comics #comicbooks @manruss.bsky.social @madcavestudios.com

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

The protests are great and God bless everyone coming out today. But I think "No Kings" is bad branding. For a lot of Americans, the word "king" has sort of a positive vibe, and it's not that accurate because there's no way Trump leaves Don Jr in charge of anything. "No Dictators" would be better.
