The Ring is a boxing movie (and a marriage movie, and a movie about a bracelet, and about a circle of friends—it was Hitchcock and Reville's first original script and they got a tad overzealous with the syntactic layers). It's just not lost.

There's a dog in The Pleasure Garden too, which is one of its better aspects. I've never heard of this lost boxing film. You don't mean The Ring?

And based on those stills, I am convinced Hitchcock's crew stumbled over The Thing and the film was destroyed to prevent public panic.

Dammit grandma, not another copy of Alan Clarke's Elephant! Who gives a damn about Belfast!?

It's good coal (heh) black satire. Kino put it out on DVD years ago but it might well be out of print.

Counterpoint to apparently everyone else here: I love Upstream Color. It is not a logical movie, but there's an incredibly strong emotional core that keeps it from losing its way into pretentiousness. Lot of stuff about relationships, shared experience, memory, trauma. It could be described as Malick on acid, but I…

In other words, there are a bunch of Scooby-Doo villains out there.

Did you also see Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? It's a great film, a great performance from Monroe, and easily the most succinct evidence for her lasting worth as a star and a sex symbol.

To put this creepiness in perspective, there's a story that when Arthur Miller was first getting to know Monroe (in 1950, pre big fame), he led her out of a bookstore because another patron just started masturbating in front of her.

To Be or Not to Be (1942, the Lubitsch version, not Mel Brooks) is fucking treasure of shocking black comedy.

The genius of Lubitsch really stands out in the abyss of 29. Really, Paramount was lucky in getting directors who understood how to use sound in Sternberg, Lubitsch, and Mamoulian.

The most faithful adaptation of Dracula is, oddly enough, Guy Maddin's Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, which is also a ballet. It keeps in a lot of the stuff that's long been cut (like the gold) and highlights the orientalist/xenophobic subtext underlying those elements (also by casting a Chinese dancer as…

James called out an official who called his friends a loaded term in a public statement. You found a random internet comment and called the poster racist for using a term to refer to himself in a hypothetical situation. They are not equivalent.

The VA has been poorly served by both parties and often ignored, so having someone relatively high profile in charge might help to raise its stature. And Palin might actually have relevant experience (i.e. not foreign or economic knowledge).

Now he knows who dies in every Star Wars movie!

No? You don't see the aliens in the header image, just a symbol in their language, which is also all over the trailers.

The issues Schumer wants to make peace on are increased infrastructure spending, child care support, trade agreements. Those are traditional demand policies. I prefer passing decent policies under an asset of a president than the Republican mode of obstruction.

If I had an A everytime someone made this joke, I would be A.A. Dowd.

Here's the 538 take on that support/against poll.

Actually, polling regularly showed that more of Trump's supporters were voting against Hillary (and Obama/Dems) rather than for Trump. Likewise, her numbers showed a higher percentage voting for her .
