Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025)
Easily the most stunning animated film this year particularly the heightened palette by Justine Thiebault
Warm up with the central relationship and peer into a 2&half year old’s view of the world, inscribed to memory as an act of obstinate preservation

I hear Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN draws inspiration from Bernie Wrightson’s illustrations of lush decay.
“Recasting the lantern-jawed look made famous by actor Boris Karloff into a sunken-cheeked creature, Wrightson’s contoured lines made the undead beast look more like a lost, lonely soul.@

Danny Ocean approves…
We JUST started watching these movies with our girls.
They wanted to watch “mysteries” but are squeemish about the murder part.
Heist movies fill the void

A mural was painted on the back side of these zip-tied politician yard signs.
I didn’t take a pic of the mural because people were block partying in front of it but this side, screening part of a playground, was art in itself.

Is it instructive to compare this ideal of white supremacist MAGA America with the actual White Supremacists whose racist chats were made public?

First he portrays himself as bombarding Americans with diarrhea from a fighter jet, now he’s demolishing the heart of the White House without having submitted a plan for construction… Dump truly is his own best political cartoonist.

The gut punch of this violation to the White House was truly felt by me from this overhead shot.
It’s like the aftermath of a terrorist attack.
“If the West Wing is the head of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”
“As with most things, Trump has just destroyed the heart of the nation.”

Yeah, demolishing the White House without properly submitting the plans first… a political cartoon wishes they came up with the metaphor.

Do we believe FOX News that the No Kings Protests were chaos & mayhem?
OR
Do we believe the NYPD that there were no arrests w 100,000 people across 5 Burroughs?
POOTUS that they were “very small” OR in fact the largest demonstrations in 50+ years?
Do you believe your eyes & ears or Dear Leader?

Probably my favorite Drew Struzan poster, especially for seeming so postmodern in the summer of 1977.
“When we got the billing, we discovered there wasn't enough room for all the credits, so we had to figure out a way to make more space…It was a case of Necessity being the Mother of Invention."

When high end knick knack shoppes always have that spinner rack of sassy socks and my daughter wouldn’t let me take a pic of the one that says:

(I was dadding and teasing her saying she should wear them to “silly sock day” at school)

Has FOX News ever said the truth about ANYTHING?!
This same dude, who also claims to have been the kill shot that took out Osama Bin Laden, has been revealed to have been portraying several masked “gangbangers” and “Far Left” agitators over the years.
