The position is basically that the Democrats are too weak and soft and dysfunctional to run the country publicly, but also so insidiously brilliant and well-organized that they can alter the very fabric of reality from behind the scenes.

I too saw Black Panther. However, I’m sad to report no black people beat me up or even gave me side eye for being white while watching it. If I can’t trust the news coming out of the conservative media circles, who can I trust?

I love that movie! Although I have to admit what I’m remembering I think is at least half from Mystery of the Wax Museum. Yes, that early Technicolour is such a treat! Everything all peachy and green. I’ve been thinking of it just tonight as I’m in a mood for a pirate movie and I’m certain The Black Pirate is also…

Watched Black Panther set the damn theater on fire.
Debated seeing Black Panther again.
Saw Black Panther again.

Fare thee well, Rock Hudson’s Non-Union Mexican (Ambassador) Equivalent.

This is terribly sad. I knew him a bit, pre-Oscar nominations - brought him in to a festival I was part of some years ago, and hung out with him a bit. He was a really nice guy, very cool, unassuming and pleasant. And, it goes without saying, talented. R.I.P. Jóhann.

I am almost certain it is a poster here who is loathed on AV Club

Can we please retire “All Along the Watchtower” from all trailers, movies, and TV shows? There are so, so many songs available, folks. Go find a new one. You’re also forbidden from using “Hallelujah,” “For What It’s Worth,” “Gimme Shelter,” literally anything by CCR, and any Motown song in any movie about group…

Is he, though?

now if we could just get the trial broadcast on Snapchat we’d have the 21st century Hell trifecta

i liked Scott Baio a lot more when i forgot he was alive.

Hmmm. I wonder why the president ignored one rapper, but went after the other... What could it be?
