Greatest film ever made
My sincere thanks to everyone in the audience last night at the @amcinematheque.bsky.social 35th Anniversary screening of #TREMORS. I had an absolute blast and hope you did, too! Old school filmmaking like this really holds up (at least IMHO), and I am so proud to have helped get this movie made.

So healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket. And now everyone is going to know the Democrats are to blame. Wonderful strategy heading into the midterms, you idiots.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It’s absolutely not about fighting for a princess. It’s literally about a dude who hates his king and gets pissed when his male lover is killed.

It felt like a Dark Horse comic come to life. So perfect!
I love when movies play in my head for hours or even days after I see them. PREDATOR: BADLANDS may be my favorite franchise movie this year. It's so much fun. Monsters, androids, glowy swords, spaceships, and laser guns, and they should serve cereal because it's Saturday morning cartoony as hell.

Take a Yautja to the river
Dek the Small One, they called him
Wash the Yautja in the water
Give that boy a bag of skin
On a planet they call Genna
There's a beast that will not die
Dek's a-goin' off to kill it
Hope he doesn't lose an eye

See what those Xenomorphs can do
Now there's Yautja flying in from outer space
Marines can't get no relief
Rumble out on the promenade
And Weyland-Yutani's hanging on by the skin of its teeth"

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
