Black face.......

.......as a flex.....
give it a rest dude. i've had queer friends since i was at least 5. i wrote under a gay black persona in a zine as a teen in the 60s. i've been the only straight dude in a queer performance art space & teased for it by the performer who i was there to support. i REALLY don't have time for yr BS.
Same! I loved it enough to grab a copy of the book lol.

I thought a lot about the films you mentioned, and I also couldn't help but think of Annihilation (2018). Also young Blair Brown looked just like Rebecca Ferguson to me lol it was soooo distracting
Phenomenal work here by @Darren_Mooney on the strange emptiness of modern blockbusters embodied by the even stranger cult actor Jared Leto's attempt to make Tron a thing....again
New episode of The Backdrop up at @secondwindgroup.com!

Where I look at “TRON: Ares” and the literal emptiness of the modern summer blockbuster, where urban landscapes are reduced to big empty LEGO sets to be smashed on film.

Hot take:

There's no such thing as "Pynchon-lite", and Thomas Pynchon has stubbornly defied the already fragile concept of "late work". His aesthetic approach is as fiery as ever (Shadow Ticket is more aesthetically daring than most of what's come out in the last few decades).
Fair, but it's CHEEKS
This is gonna be fun!
The Conjuring 4 is SOOOOO ass man
This is incredible 🔥🔥🔥
Man it's phenomenal! Definitely one of my favorite PTA films, and I would be shocked if it isn't my number one film of the year (and possibly the decade). I absolutely loved it
The miracle scene in 28 years later is extraordinary. The whole movie is great, but that scene takes my breath away
Lmfaoooo it's been a minute
Omg Happy Birthday!!

The reason America never moved on from it's evil, racist past is because they never sunk to the level of the people that hated it's existence. The Confederates should never have been welcomed back into polite society. They should have been executed or imprisoned for life & their land given away.
I'm certain that sinking to the level that the people who hate you believe you to be at will be very helpful.

As we all know violence is just a straight line until enough people die and not just a horrific cycle.
Love it
Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere
The last shot is the definition of "shat on" 😂

As someone from the deep South, I'll tell you that you won't find stronger allies anywhere. They live it every day
if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day
There are still good, kind, decent people in the world

You just need to know where to look
