Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro:

I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints.

I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

Alt: a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top - the preceding was the auto generated description and it rules (this is George St Geegland and Gil Faizon, charmed I’m sure)

if there was a polymarket on Massie jumping ship and caucusing with the Dems sometime this year, I might be tempted to go long
One of them has TDS, but it isn’t Massie

Massie: “this is bigger than watergate”

FOOT FIST WAY is also a prime example of "doesn't matter how many people see it as long as the *right* people see it"

movie makes 200 grand and McBride is doing TROPIC THUNDER two years later

speaking of FOOT FIST WAY, i'm looking at those box office numbers and can't help but be very curious about the $1,006 it made outside of the US/CA

that can't have even been worth shipping the reels!

FOOT FIST WAY (2006)
ZERO EFFECT (1998)

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!

Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

This is why primarying people matters. Suddenly everybody involved in this race is in a firm spine contest.
GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?

LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that

GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?

LYONS: This is the wrong type of question

when i was a little kid and we sang it in school, I just assumed that the strangers never came down from Rocky Top because they enjoyed the warm southern hospitality so much
The Trump regime is reminding some people in rural areas there’s a reason they hated Feds so much they killed a couple of them in the second verse of “Rocky Top”
Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

so, folks - I realize I haven’t actually discussed the publication of this book right here … I’m going to be honest, it snuck up on me. I’m … really busy! I plead busy.

I’ll talk about it a bit since, you know, that’s what promotion is all about!
