Guillermo Del Toros Frankenstein is an exquisite masterpiece and is the best film he has ever made.
One of the best films of the year.
Jacob Elordi has the Creature should get a best actor nomination- he won't but damn is he incredible. Cinema is alive still.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

As of October 2025, approximately the same number of immigrants have died in ICE custody in the first nine months of the new Trump administration as during the entire four years of the Biden administration.

The overall death toll in ICE custody for 2025 is on track to be the highest in decades.

Masterful remake but didn’t hit all the notes needed to secure masterpiece status.

Currently it easily falls into the unfortunate category of Eggers’ worst film…an achievement all too real and oddly equally rare for a film of this quality
