If we HAVE to stand for a specific song, and HAVE to put our hands on our hearts or risk getting jacked are we really free?

Pretty cool, Mr. Shilling! Pretty cool! My favorite sports call and what amps me up for exercise or lifts my spirits from the darkest of recesses is the commentary on Billy Mills’s 10,000 m win in the 1964 Olympics (I don’t know who the commentators are):

Nobody cares what you call your idiot murder toys.

So, does this mean we can legalize illegal drugs, because those are seriously popular too?

Modest gun control measures are far, far more popular than assault rifles.

To be specific, he got impeached for a lie! If 1998 were today, the President would have been impeached over 11 thousand times!

Hell yeah. I loved The VVitch, and this is giving big “Shadow over Innsmouth” vibes.

Anyone not made uncomfortable by The Witch is suspect to me

Looking forward to the Irish Spring and Old Spice
merchandising tie-ins come Oscar time.

I learned a valuable lesson when it comes to taking movie recommendations: If someone is a horror fan, what they consider “not scary” is scary. I watched The Witch during the daylight hours and woke up in the middle of the night swearing a goat was talking to me. I turned on my lights and waited for the sun to rise.

First the aging comment is agist in itself, and honestly I think the guys his age getting shot up with fillers are the skeevy looking ones. Pathetic, sad loser - hm, starring in the newest movie from, like him or not, one of Hollywood’s hottest directors, and I can’t really remember the last time he’s had any kind of…

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is imperfect. It could have easily lost around 30 minutes without missing a beat, it has a few too many cameos, but it has been growing on me since it ended. I’ve gone from not being sure how to feel about it to really appreciating the fact that it exists.

If you look at similar stuff that never made it into the final film, you see just how much guff Lucas crammed into the film, and how little idea he had of where it was going or what it was about.

His peers viewing draft cuts decried his film as “nonsense”.

Not surprising Hamill didn’t have a grasp on Luke, neither did…

I enjoyed it very much. I was surprised at the pacing of it, which was somehow kind of a relief. It’s like he decided to make a Dazed and Confused kind of hang out movie. It’s going to age well. Some things:

A couple points: It is never confirmed that Cliff killed his wife. It’s left up in the air. He’s sitting there with the harpoon gun and his wife is drunk and stumbling to get up as the sound of a wave crashing up against the back of the boat happens. Hard cut. Obviously, Cliff’s story is that he didn’t kill his wife,…

You should. It’s both well shot and very funny. Maybe one of the funniest scenes Tarantino has ever filmed. 

I’m still processing much of it, but I do love that in this version of history, QT allows for Tate’s legacy to be re-written and her future is unknown, with her in full control of her own agency, and that it won’t be defined or overshadowed by her being a murder victim. Good stuff.

I saw the movie and it is good. Quite good. Apart from the gross foot stuff (FUCKING SPARE ME, SPARE ME!) the three problematic things with the movie are (1) Hiring batterer Emile Hirsch at all, he savagely beat a woman and has been rewarded for it since, (2) the Cliff wife murder...it’s not just played off, it is…

I'd rather envision a world in which those shitty books were never written.
