I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I was looking at JustWatch to see if a film I’m looking to program early next year was streaming anywhere, and noticed that the app now includes where to purchase the films on disc. I don’t want to oversell it, but this feels like a big win for physical media.

Could we please have an opposition party who actually opposes this fascistic administration instead of just lobbing empty-gesture tweets and letters? Democracy is literally on the line here.

One thing that’s rarely talked about is that Disney still holds theaters to a three-week minimum, including all of the regional, one-screen, family-oriented theaters. And lately, at least a few theaters I know who used to run seemingly every Disney film, are just flat-out refusing to play that game.
Disney’s sci-fi sequel “Tron: Ares” opened to a disappointing $33.5 million this weekend, falling short of projections of $45 million to $50 million.
For comparison, 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” debuted to $44 million (not adjusted for inflation).

The Yankees losing is a cause for celebration regardless, but it’s extra sweet this year seeing their Trump boot-licking asses get handed to them by the one Canadian team.

Little conversation going on over at the other place that some of y'all will enjoy:
“Which writers (or writing teams) have sole writing credit (or in the case of the teams, shared credit) on the three best smovies where they were not involved as director(s)?”

Anyone else find it odd that we have at least three theaters in the Seattle area with 70mm capability (Cinerama, AMC Pacific Place, and Cinemark Bellevue Lincoln Square) and none of them are showing ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER on that format?
