If Chicagoans in general don’t fuck around, radical Chicago clergy fuck around even less

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

Much better to keep going "FUCK I'M OLD" & let the kids take the field than to keep desperately doing the "I'm a COOL mom/dad" stuff though

FWWM at least had Lynch's ideas of angelic transcendence of human suffering at the end but this is just utter bleakness. Completely worth watching, but bleak.

Amused that if you squint the guy on the poster looks like Columbo with wings, as if Disney somehow predicted Wings of Desire 6 years early

If there is, uh, here's me dancing out of the closet right before spending another incredibly satisfying evening cataloguing & reclassifying every film & book I own

I...do not think this will work & trying to go everything-is-gunmetal-gray-&-black "tacticool" will alienate their actual base in the process but if women's/girls' money is too pink to be good green, whatever fellas

Don't worry, I looked up the plot & for the latter reasons went "I need to watch this IMMEDIATELY"

If you talked about this already on the blog I missed it, does this reduce the chances of Netanyahu just going "lol nah" & we're off to the races again?

I just wanted them to go back to doing stuff like The Cat from Outer Space & Something Wicked This Way Comes but they always fuck it up

I didn't know they were chasing young men but that's the mistake these companies always make--anything women/girls like is inferior by definition & needs the imprimatur of men/boys, the only true human beings, but as noted now you have a whole generation of radmasc separatists so good luck there

At some point the "tradcath" adult converts will finally split off, acknowledge they're actually Protestants & align directly with the evangelicals & then it'll be 1920s KKK-style open season on any actual Catholic entities

Moss Elixir @sorryforlaughing.bsky.social · 1h

They've been getting twitchier because their deep-seated need to shout out the anti-Papism is almost as acute as their need to say "n--" in public, his disagreeing with them on immigration etc will be the only excuse they need to go full 1920s KKK on every Catholic but the "trad" adult converts

Fuck, I missed this. Happy belated!

In my random opinion probably the best work Diane Keaton ever did, even if as noted the ending fucked me up as bad or worse than Fire Walk With Me & I can't ever watch it again.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977). Seen in a non muddy YT rip it some how becomes even more sordid and searing, a reeking of Charlie and Newports time capsule that's also the bleeding misogyny of right now. Fantastic cast, bleak as three am coffee.

Image from Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Diane Keaton is picturing herself as a sex worker.

You can just say "guitar rock fans have a strong tendency to be some of the most racist people on the planet," it's okay

Provolone's way too ethnic for that sandwich, I mean, it only LOOKS like white cheese

I saw him in The Secret in the Wings at Lookingglass, not having known until we got there that he was in it, & still remember how I was trying to explain to my bemused not-from-around-here partner why I found this so exciting

They really should’ve just done that, limited series ending just like the book where she disappears into the police van, they cut to “Gilead studies” academics centuries later arguing much too cavalierly about her fate & then the professor turns to the camera, “Are there any questions?”

I have no objections to him
