I don't like mimes. Except land mimes. They blow up. And THAT'S funny.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

That's my recommendation on every Bong Joon-Ho film I've seen. This one's on Kanopy.

to some missteps and red herrings, all corrupted in the Joon-Ho tradition. Great film.

Thus they search for each other. They are lost, not as individuals but as friends. Wonderfully touching.

Doesn't matter to me that she was 89; Diane Ladd is one of those we never should have lost.

I was going to cut back on my negativity and self-condemnation. Then I thought to myself, "Fuck you, asshole, what's your goddamn problem?"

I don't know why anyone would bother to tell me to fall back on a Saturday night. Don't rush me, I'll get around to it.

It may seem impossible to have hope in these turbulent days

But America has been through much worse, and recovered-every time

The Civil War
The Great Depression
World Wars I and II
The Civil Rights era

So don’t give up
Stay engaged
Support one another

We will get through this

And we will win

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

One of the most touching scenes in Dawn of the Dead occurs when the non-zombie woman looks through the window from her safe place in a locked store and a zombie looks back at her. Mutual looks of exhaustion.

I love Chris's writing. Glad you and Zoe got him.

Laid is the past tense of lay. Lay is the past tense of lie. And lie is the past tense of a healthy relationship.

🚨 Greg here is having a rough day. Gassing protesters and journalists is an abuse of power: Tear gassing families on their way to a park for an annual Halloween celebration is beyond an abuse of power. That is child endangerment; abuse.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I don't mind that the bedroom spider has gotten so big. Mainly I'm curious what the fuck it's been eating.

Rouge (1987, d. Kwan) Anita Mui is a ghost who has returned to 1980’s Hong Kong to rejoin her lover, Leslie Cheung, who she committed suicide with fifty years before. She latches onto Alex Man and Emily Chu to help in the hunt. It’s romantic, it’s beautiful, and damn is it sad.
