I completely agree -- a theatrical run should be mandatory for Oscar submissions.
Stellan Skarsgård agrees that Netflix films shouldn't qualify for the Oscars without a full theatrical run

"That’s the only way to make the theaters survive ... Without cinema, you don’t have any Netflix"

His last truly great record, a 1972 masterpiece. Powerful, monolithic and hook-heavy with brilliant no-nonsense anti-patriarchy, pro-feminist lyrics. Stan Bronstein's sax is magnificent, Lennon's voice awesome.

Silence is complicity. Period.
I want ask you if freedom is important to you? Then I want to ask you to repost this video & across your socials & ask your followers the same thing.

Because they aren't just detaining undocumented people. They are also detaining permanent residents & citizens & you could be next.

You have power to make change. Use it. Share this video on every platform(link below) & Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand they stop the #ICELawlessness.

It only takes 2 minutes to call.

Remember, if it can happen to them, it can happen to you!

Indifference is complicity.

Who intentionally creates roadblocks to feed their own people who need it most? North Korea, and now the U.S.
President Trump’s administration asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people. https://to.pbs.org/3LtvAqj

Enlightening lecture tonight. Thank you for coming to Portland!
A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Should funding for SNAP run out at the end of the month which is likely, “we will have the greatest hunger catastrophe in America since the Great Depression, and I don’t say that as hyperbole”, said Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America.

Americans would be wise to understand what the Stasi was. The East German secret police "sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life," with files on 6 million citizens, more than 1/3rd of the population. The Trump regime is building its version of the Stasi. 1/2

Nothing to celebrate.
You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

"We took the freedom of speech away," says the president
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

As we mark the 80th anniversary of WWII's end, I’ve come to believe that in losing that Greatest Generation, we are losing more than just the memories of combat. We are losing the memory and experience of what it means to fight fascism and authoritarianism. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/what-we-lo...
What We Lost When We Lost the Greatest Generation
It's no coincidence that democracy is backsliding in the US exactly eighty years after the end of World War II.
