Yeah this is a great piece. Always frustrated with the criticism. Seemed very surface level. This defense is definitive!
anyway good excuse to post this Clare Coffey piece, one of my favorite pieces of film writing ever www.thebulwark.com/p/there-is-n...
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

This broke my heart when it was happening. So true that those that need to see it won’t.
For RogerEbert.com, I reviewed Errol Morris's Separated, about the change in border policy in the 1st Trump administration that deliberately separated parents from children at the border. It's a shame those most in need of watching it will have no interest in it. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/sepa...

Saw this fantastic quote at the Museum of African American History yesterday, epitomizing the way military service fit into the Black struggle for equality and resistance to white supremacy
Truly amazing museum; if you go to DC, take some time for it. It’s very powerful and gut wrenching.

Today I set an alarm so I could assemble this bowl of sticky rice with cucumber, seaweed and sesame seeds (gim), spring onions and umeboshi. The rice is from the Korean store in Cambridge; they sell it vacpacked.

This would effectively ban me from visiting the National Gallery of Art. It would turn my favorite place in the world into hostile territory.
Nancy Mace has introduced a federal bathroom ban which would ban trans people from bathrooms in DCA and Dulles airports, national park bathrooms, museum bathrooms, and all federal building bathrooms.
