Tarantino calling Paul Dano a weak actor is funny because Tarantino is consistently the worst actor in every movie he has ever been in and it’s not even close.

I'm not going to repost screenshots from Grok for the same reasons I don't use any LLMs even when they're outputting silly/ amusing synthetic text.
(This image is great for so many purposes. I first saw it posted by @redeyedjedi.bsky.social so I am hoping that's the right credit for its source!)

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

“one day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”
that was Omar El Akkad’s tweet. 2 years later, i’m preparing to discuss this with the senior center’s book club. 📚

Strongly recommend the Adam Friedland Show episode with Ritchie Torres. Very revealing of the kinds of folks we have “representing” us. Adam really won me over when he was being so genuine and vulnerable. Moving to see his whole ironic veneer just erode to Torres’s lack of humanity.

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop
• Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history
• Strong chance the film could earn more this weekend than last weekend

The salute discourse is so pointless. Obviously it was a salute and obviously his fans won’t admit it because in spite of all the loser shit he does and says, they are still his fans!
We used to punch Nazis. Now we make Jubilee videos with them.

Every movie is a horror movie when you’re watching it with someone who keeps asking, ‘Wait, what’s going on? Who’s that? What just happened?

David Lynch’s passing has hit me hard. His work left a strong impact on me. He changed what I thought film was supposed to be. He made me see cinema as more than just entertainment, but an art form. Communication. A way to see our world by going someplace else. Someplace wonderful and strange. RIP

I will never be able to vibe with the contingent that equate film quality with monetary success. I get the idealistic urge to want to attach an easy barometer but it’s such a bogus goal post. Movies have different costs, different audiences, different timelines at finding an audience. Let them live.
