A must-watch for Guillermo del Toro fans imo. It's old fashioned and a little clunky in bits but the ending rules.
#CineJanes Tonight, as suggested during our livetweet of Leave Her to Heaven, it's Part Two in a Gene Tierney/Vincent Price trifecta -- Dragonwyck (1946) -- a gothic romance set along the Hudson river, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, based on the novel by Anya Seton. Free link later! 7PT/10ET!

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Even in Rochester, one of the most inclusive cities in America, a dead trans man is misgendered and deadnamed by the local news, his transphobic family allowed to have the last words on his life. Every trans death is a murder. We remember you, Danny.
