Intimidation (1960 film)

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

There's absolutely historical issues with this holiday which deserve being confronted. But a day about gathering together over a meal and focusing on what we're thankful for, I do feel that's worth preserving. Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
