the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production

Board the plane. Sit in my seat. Look frantically through my carry-on luggage. Check my pockets in desperation.
“Dammit! I forgot about Dre.”

“What’s that? There’s trouble!” I exclaim at the sound of a car alarm. The neighbours rush out of their homes to lend help, I alert the police, and another day is saved.
Thank you car alarms!

The Naked Gun is a funny movie that doesn’t take itself seriously and clocks in under 90 minutes.

K and I watched the two part pilot of Miami Vice and loved it. Superb writing and directing, perfectly clichéd acting, and the fashion… oh the fashion!
This show was a justifiable hit four decades ago, but still deserves a rewatch in 2025.

I saw Rogue One the day after Carrie Fisher passed. Seeing her younger self on screen (as janky as the CGI was) brought the entire audience to applause.
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?
During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!

There was a lot of cocaine abuse in the 80s. Maybe that explains Kidd Video, this week on #TFNPS.
