If you fly roughly 1 or more times per year, and you don’t have TSA pre check, you’re an idiot.

While I fully recognize that TSA is security theater, one of the reasons that I got Pre-Check/Global Entry is so that I didn’t have to go through the body scanner anymore. No way I want to go through an automated pre-check line that purposely puts you into that damn thing.

Maybe 5 years after 9/11, I was listening to a podcast or radio show or a radio show that is also available as a podcast (I forget which), and one of the guests called TSA security theater.  He described it as like Kabuki.  There are elaborate costumes, ritualized movements, and every once in a while someone yells. …

This is going to be hilariously bad. They’re ignoring the fact that a ton of people need their hand held during every step of this security theater. It’s why agents have always yelled and repeated their instructions nonstop. This is gonna be backed up even more. You could see it when the scanner detects the microphone…

I just flew last week as well, and the ratio was like that, but the other way around. Much shorter lines for TSA Pre-Check, both coming and going.

I’m bummed, but Season Two functions as a perfectly good ending, so I’m grateful for what we got.

Self-checkouts have been around for 15+ years and I still feel like 80% of the population is slow as molasses using them.

travelers can’t figure out how to use automated security doors.  you think automated screening will be faster?

I like you.

I have, but it was a midnight showing of Priscilla Queen of the Desert at the Paramount in the mid 90s.

Lol this is so hilariously dumb it’s hard to know where to start, but it’s actually good to hear this from a director so people start to realize how stupid Netflix’s claims generally are. But 3 main points:

Got dressed IN PINK I must add.  Never have I seen more humans in bright pink then a screening of Barbie.

Fuck, Avatar has had more cultural impact that Rebel Moon.

I also question the apples-to-apples of it. People who get dressed, travel to a theater and pay their $11 to specifically see one thing aren’t really comparable to people who’ve already paid their $15 and are just settling for something to have on in the background while they fidget with their phones/iPads.

Sat, not many, but from personal experience I can tell you a lot of us slept through it. 

Heeeeeeey! An unnecessary fight!

I dream of a world where empathy happens without it having to be because “it hit home”, can’t we be kind to people who aren’t our family?

And I really can’t see Brent mugging for the promos and bumpers. Ever. 

I could have predicted that someone dramatic would be dramatic to the extreme on occasion - especially given the pressure of production and extreme budget cuts.
