What new small/import/indie #movies should I look for between now and the end of the year? Anything I might miss in the onslaught of holiday studio blockbusters?
Bonus if it'll be playing at the Alamo Drafthouse, so I can use my season pass.

Maybe Trump is building himself a mausoleum, not a ballroom.
Maybe he knows his remaining time is short, and he wants an enormous pharaonic monument, housing his remains, looming over the White House forever. That's absolutely the kind of person he is.

After all these years, & a politics degree, & decades trying to teach it, & about 3 million mistily-grasped texts, I’ve finally accepted that it’s a 10 word phrase from a superhero movie that most precisely expresses my political beliefs:
“I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from.”

So disappointed that Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein is not getting more theatrical screenings in Colorado. What's up with that, @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social ?

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.
