It’s time to bring that 80s/90s revival into your home and clothing. Return to the Global Village. Return to New Jack Swing. Return to Memphis Milano.
Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

I saw a print this hanging at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; I hadn’t been expecting to see it. Immediately I stopped and loudly whispered “Radio City”!

If they haven't already, there really should be a documentary made on the history of Bugs Bunny dressing up in drag, why it started, why it persisted, and, most importantly, people's reactions to it and how they've evolved over time. I find it genuinely fascinating.

This is a fucking fact. And like 90% of my favorite music was made between about 1972-79
I’m sorry, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band is the best band of the 1970s.

thinking about all the time and care put into shooting One Battle After Another and Sinners in niche film formats, and the sheer beauty of the results on projected celluloid. A Netflix-owned Warner Bros will still release movies; I doubt it will release movies like that.
