Don’t ever ever support horse drawn carriage rides, they’re not romantic or fun, they’re cruel abuse of the horses. #animalrights #animalwelfare

RIP Val Kilmer. He starred in two of my favorite films of all time, Heat (1995) and Top Secret (1984). Top Secret was his big screen debut, if you want to escape and LAUGH in these times, do yourself a favor and go watch this film.

Great night at @vidiots.bsky.social last night watching a screening of The Good Girl, followed by a Q&A with Zooey Deschanel, John C Reilly and Director Miguel Arteta. Vidiots is such a gem.
