To prop up the Q Anon movie "Sound of Freedom," ppl bought out full theaters to inflate its grosses to make a statement that their movement was here to stay.
Interesting that nobody felt there was a statement worth making on this one.

Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

Day One, put on all seven hours of Abel Gance's NAPOLEON and get all the losers out right at the top.

I have a very good-natured Christian friend in Minneapolis who's never made a political statement in the 20 years I've known her, who's now posting contact info for senators & demanding accountability for the ICE murders.
So good job maga. You radicalized the quietest person I've ever known.

I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.
Here are some things that happened while I was there.
