moral panics re "woke," "political correctness," etc were designed to make:

1. counter-cultural commitments to relational egalitarianism & mutual consideration seem like stodgy, censorious conformism;

2. degenerate commitments to bigotry & complacency seem like high-minded tolerance & defiance

I'll always find it hysterical FIRE WALK WITH ME opens with what amounts to a 30 minute parody of TWIN PEAKS. you get two dorkass Dale Coopers, one of them pulls on a cop's nose to gain entry, and a sheriff has a huge saw on a wall as decoration. Lynch's mind eternally undefeated

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. There's an eerie loneliness that hangs over the whole thing. The music, Charlie Brown's depression, the dying little tree, the flatness of the children's voices, the inevitability of death. A Christmas masterpiece.

The Hayes Code is one of those absolutely insane bits of cultural history that should be talked about way more. Like it's directly responsible for a lot of the modern american conservative's glorification of the past; a fake world where nobody swears and every hero is a good Christian

Robocop is a movie about a guy who gets killed on the job and they still made him go back to work
