LET THE CORPSES TAN @ Alamo Drafthouse in Denver. The kind of movie where theater-quality *sound* is hugely important.
Guy in audience mimicking the way the lawyer says “Mr. Cogburn” in TRUE GRIT.
I threw up the first time I saw AVATAR, but I had a migraine and can’t reasonably blame Jim Cameron.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

I’m enjoying the roasts of QT for running his mouth as much as anyone, but, well, yeah, this was *the* way to sell a non-martial arts Hong Kong film to American audiences in the nineties. How else was it supposed to look?
this is a tangent to that but look at the copy of chungking express i had on tape. ol boy said i know what we need to do for my edition of this one of the best and most beautiful movies, stick my mr potato head with the little beady raisin eyes up in the corner looking like muppet baby rondo hatton

I completely forgot to post that I watched 56 Up (2012) at the end of November, maintaining my every-seven-months pace. Each installment presents a bigger sandbox for the editor, and Kim Horton does some great work with this one.
It’s time for 49 Up (2005), the first installment of the widescreen TV era.
I’m watching the second part of 42 Up tonight.

I really think that the best way to stop an intellectually anemic stylistically milquetoast bad-faith paycheck troll from winning is to stop turning every quarter-assed essay he publishes into the quote-tweet Super Bowl, but by all means, keep fighting your battle as you see fit

Also, they are *lying*.
Something I find very funny is people periodically talking about how Sabrina Carpenter "isn't hot to men", as if heterosexual male fans are the audience her career depends on. I thought we had all understood 'women mostly dress up for themselves, or for women' but looks like we've forgotten again.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

damn this is the most disrespectful shit ever written about Gandalf
Gandalf basically a competent fireworks designer who loses his big magical duel to an ecological terrorist and in his most iconic moment gets ankle-lassoed by a dude too fat to cross a bridge

hey y'all, just mulling over today's events and wondering, if someone was going to blackmail you with information that would destroy your life if exposed, what would that information be, how much money do you make, and what's the easiest way to get in touch with you?

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.
Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful
