It’s very important that men aren’t accused of domestic assault cause it will destroy their careers.

If Quentin Tarantino can be hired for his acting, then you can make it through whatever troubles you are facing.
There's no sign of whatever he's directing next, but #QuentinTarantino has just landed what looks like his biggest acting role since From Dusk 'Til Dawn...

I didn't know which version of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS this square meant, so I watched both the 1956 and 1978 versions before scratching it off.
The '56 film is great, unsettling in its own right, but the '78 film is a terrifying masterpiece. A great way to spend a day.
