in my teens i went to see some already really shitty movie with a friend and a kid a few rows up puked all over the floor so the whole theater smelled like it for ~50 minutes.
don't even remember what movie it was, but it was like Date Movie or some bs

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

I was just thinking yesterday about how it's been 21 years since U2 released anything worthwhile and I think that will continue onward
U2 have emerged from a long hiatus with a surprise six-song EP, 'Days of Ash,' where they address political flashpoints around the world, including ICE raids, the Iranian uprisings, the war in Ukraine, and Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

+1 this lil film packs a lot into 7 minutes, always been a big fan of it. RIP Tom Noonan 👑
in honor of the late great Tom Noonan, i want to encourage everyone to watch (or rewatch) one of my favorite things: They're Made Out Of Meat, an underseen sci-fi short film directed by Stephen O'Regan, starring Noonan and Ben Bailey. Worth the 7 minutes!

everyone's making fun of this but listen i've been to some live WWE events and i think there's a great opportunity there to promote better masculine hygiene

Incredible commentary from this Swiss announcer, who accurately characterizes the Israeli team as "Self-defined zionist to the core...who posted several messages in favour of the genocide in Gaza...calling it ‘the most morally just war in history.’”
Solidarity to a real one.

I worked on his campaign in MI in 1988. When he trounced Dukakis there, the Democratic Party went into a panic and did a full-court press to stop Jackson. I remember they got Anthony Lewis, the NYT's token liberal columnist, to write a "shut-up" and eat your Dukakis piece.
" But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness." RIP Jesse Jackson.

Putting a marker down that "Eddington" is going to be the "Do the Right Thing" of our time, this movie snubbed by the Oscars that decades later everyone agrees captured the zeitgeist better than anything else
Small towns often are known for their quirky, insular intrigue, but the drama unfolding in Purcellville, a Virginia exurb that’s a 50-mile drive west of Washington, is a brass-knuckled version of quaint.
‘Us versus them’: The battle that’s tearing a small Virginia town apart
The drama in Purcellville, Virginia, involves a town council contingent that calls itself “Team Mayberry,” felony charges, lawsuits and an attempted citizen revolt.

It's not hard to fall for a waitress
When you both smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners and lovers
She'll get the check as friends for the better
You'll carve your names into the Paupack cliffs
Just to read them when you get old enough to know
That happiness is just a moment
When you both smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners and lovers
She'll get the check as friends for the better
You'll carve your names into the Paupack cliffs
Just to read them when you get old enough to know
