You're right. I worked 11 years in the biggest paper in Virginia and saw the sea change in the 1980s and 1990s. Glad I'm free and out of it now. I'd rather spin cardboard signs on street corners than take another paper owner telling me to pucker up and kiss that ham hock.

It needs to happen, but it won't with this current press pool.

It must take a whole lot of
Dear God Kill Me Now
to be a White House reporter these days.

I know, right? Nurse Ratched and that whole mental facility machine slowly turning people into meat.

It is. Louise Fletcher and Nicholson were amazing. Plus all the ensemble inmates were gold! Danny DeVito ⭐ Christopher Lloyd ⭐Vincent Schiavelli ⭐ Scatman ⭐ Will Samson ⭐ Such names and such talent! I think Louise won an Oscar for that picture. I won't look at it again, though. It hits a core nerve.

Jaws has some great lines too 👍 I was around 10 and enjoyed that picture. Lots of artistic shots and three grand personalities on a boat.

I was thoroughly frightened seeing 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' & was uncomfortably wary in public hallways with pipes on the ceilings for years after.

For me, neither 😂 Janet Leigh's character stole all that money and Tony Perkins was so clearly weird I rooted for him just to see something happen. Otherwise pretty much a long sit.
