The World Wide Web in general, actually. It’s done a lot of good as far as spreading information and connecting people cheaply, but it’s also always had a dark side.

Allies. Schma-allies. White people need to be at the front of their own movement to remove white supremacy. It is a white problem that needs to be solved by white people. All POCs need to be supplying are the goals an timelines. Black folks gave at the office already — during the Civil Rights Movement.

The sight of…

Soooo...when are we gonna cut federal funding to Secession Cities that harbor these dangerous monuments?

I snagged these. The bass is pretty muddy but using an equalizer will help a lot. I’ve not tried them in a plane yet but they work great in a starbucks and similar environments. And they’re amazingly comfortable. And the padding is thick enough to pass as passive noise suppression. For 38 bucks these are quite good.

I’m glad I’m not the only one whose first instinct was to be a dick. I hope they get all the thoughts and prayers they need.

No, no, we all have those films or directors we watch by ourselves with the curtains closed in the dark of night nervously hoping we won’t get caught. I keep thinking Zach Snyder is going to make a good superhero film but so far he is a reliable disappointment. Luc Besson—I don’t know how many times I’ve watched “The…

To be fair, I think Teri was going for symmetry here. Perhaps “damages” would have been a better verb. I also think she was going for a bit of snark over the line that being falsely accused of rape is worse than actual rape. I don’t think she meant to suggest that all women were destroyed by rape. 

Or maybe it just implies that he really believes that shit? Because he’s had a LONG TIME to piece together these words. Poor choice of words is an acceptable excuse when you’re flying off the cuff.

Gosh you are so right about “the good years” and we were in such great company. I still like doing the morning movie rounds but I am often the only one in the theater. Well, me and maybe an elderly couple who snacks throughout the entire feature. Practically brings a tear to my eye, you and your kid on a movie quest,…

Very nicely thought out, with some excellent points. I sincerely thank you for taking the time. I think there WAS a dynamic shift a few years ago but whether it is because he has streamlined his writing style, maturing as a consummate film maker, or just getting better at telling a story I am not sure? As a fan of the…

No apologies necessary, I love to talk about him and his film style. I see elements of ALL you mentioned in earlier and later films. Certainly RUSHMORE (early) is a great example of youth mimicking maturity and adults acting juvenile then becoming topsy-turvy so the line moves back and forth. Bottle Rocket…

Yup.

Not a problem, fam.

Okay, I can definitely get behind that thinking (your last paragraph). I do think he is on our side in the long term. I mean, he was basically the first one after election night to say that we are the resistance, and when it comes to Trump and the Conservatives, Maher and I mostly agree. Main exception is his “when…

I encourage you to read The Divide, by Matt Taibbi. He has a long section about why people take pleas even if they “didn’t do anything.”

Assault is the treat of bodily harm, and inherent to an armed robbery, so it was probably one of the charges made by the prosecutors. I don’t know much about Georgia criminal law, but I assume it’s a lesser charge than armed robbery.

What’s your definition of a road movie? Logan was a movie about people getting from point A to B in a various cars driving on roads. They stop off at various points, hijinks ensue and they get back on the road. The movie ends when they get to their destination.

He did say some totally insane things though, as well as a whopping number of outright lies. I don’t understand why the content got such a nearly universal pass from mainstream media. They apparently just forgot all about facts and sanity, and went right back to the normalizing coverage that helped put him in office…
