Yearh, I misunderstood their nature for aloofness and calculating. The calming, measured, zen-like relationship with humans I’d never caught before. This film helped me see that. They’re not indifferent, they’re just composed :)

I’m lucky and proud to be working with Oscilloscope in getting the word out about this film. I’ve never been a cat person, so when I watched an early cut, my first thought was Ceyda, the director, created a beautiful way for the west to see muslims as compassionate human beings, super relevant right now, of course.

I’m here because I just had lunch in the place where they found all the incriminating evidence against Tonya in the trash dumpster, the infamy of which is written on the back of the menus. Those menus and this post did not disappoint.

Beautiful, beautiful post. Thank you.

With all due respect, I think you missed the point of Inland Empire. I’m not saying Lynch doesn’t benefit from a good editor. But he’s also a very intuitive artist, and Inland Empire was a conscious attempt to explore beyond the 2-hour, 3-act narrative. I confess I only know this because one of my very good friends

GTFO with this shit. Bruckheimer is responsible for most of the worst garbage put on screens in the last 30 years. He’s a Spielberg wannabe without the heart, soul, passion, or talent. There will be no revisionist history for this hack, so knock it off.

Something nobody in my midwestern, conservative, white, fundamentalist, sunday-go-to-meetin’, shitty family could ever explain to me: if we all came from Noah and his wife, why are there different races? And then it finally occurred to me: oh, of course, white people only acknowledge the existence of white people.

Even more depressing when you consider what Cheney already did to this country. Hillary is a dove with an olive branch compared to that incubus.

Gary Cole makes everything better.

What an arrogant comment. Don’t kid yourself, you’re not tough. You’re just lucky. Perfectly thoughtful and strong people get children wired with terrible, difficult behavior. Have some empathy and be a human being for chrissakes.

Thanks for the 4th-grade level argument. You really nailed it.

Nice fallacy. Try harder.

That’s funny. You think you live in reality. That’s really, really funny. I mean that is some funny fucking shit right there.

Hey dipshit, if a group of people who routinely get mocked and have to fight discrimination on a daily basis tell us a word has an extremely negative meaning and impact on them, it’s not political correctness to stop using it. It’s called decency. GTFO with your arrogant bullshit.

I first learned the extremely difficult lesson of just not taking any bait to anything she said, having a zero response policy for myself. Sometimes that would make her more mad, and in those cases, I simply left, sometimes just the room but often just leave altogether.

You have my empathy. I came to the same situation with my Mom before she passed. It’s incredibly difficult when a person who raised you turns into an intolerant, paranoid, bigoted monster.

I love Dave Grohl and can’t stand Foo Fighters. But he is utterly charming, seems like a genuinely great human being, and I respect his musicianship almost more than anyone I can think of.

Same here.

You just described my relationship with Dave Grohl.

GODDAMNIT Wolf Blitzer. If ever there was a time you could call out a PR flack’s bullshit and reveal him for the withering asshole that he is, THIS WAS IT. I get it Wolf, you decided long ago that you would not risk your journalism career for the truth, but fucking hell, man, you could have at least had some fun with
