Ah I kinda misunderstood. Okay I think I get to keep my cinephile card for Inland Empire (2006) and The Master (2012)
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)

I personally think it's bad that every friend I have in a marginalized group is up-to-the-minute informed on which criminals belong to his, her, or their intersection and can accurately and immediately predict the ways the association will be used to harm them

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
