Yorgos Lanthimos does it again! He gives people a reason to leave the house and go to the movies. Few other directors do that anymore (come back Quentin T, we need you).

If Jesse Plemons doesn't get an Oscar nomination, I will eat my 'proverbial' hat. And yes, it's a great film.

I've been using Libby for years. Ask your local library if they offer Kanopy and/or Beamafilm. I have access to both here in Australia, and both offer free movie streaming! #booksky #libraries FYI: www.indailysa.com.au/news/in-dept...

One may also ask: What right do we have to expect authors, musicians, artists, directors, actors, and other creatives to produce one 'masterpiece' after another? It should be enough that they have achieved the 'impossible' once, twice or even three times, but surely not *every* time. #booksky

I wonder how many Oath Keepers, 3%-ers, Arizona Vipers, KKK members, Sons of Liberty, and men from all those other paramilitary groups have joined ICE, and been given an open licence to abuse, harass, beat, grope, rape, leer, and lord it over innocent men, women and children. tinyurl.com/2z6c4mum

As much as I dislike Donald T. Rump and his current administration, I must give them credit for exposing once and for all the great American 'bastion of freedom and democracy' B/S. 300+yrs of Indian Wars, Slavery, Jim Crow, CIA coups, Cuban blockades, etc, etc., expose the lie behind the myths.
