Mom calls Houston police for help; HPD turns the kid over to ICE; John Whitmire at first claims they didn't do that, then reverses himself because his earlier statements simply weren't true, but says not to politicize it. 🤮
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

What?!? I get that having some fun with the going dystopia is all we’ve got, but I’m offended that a lad mag in film form directed by a hack sex pest was ever one of the only poc hero in Hollywood options and knowing it’s about rehabilitating Ratner/rolling back MeeToo makes me want to wretch. 🤬

Is scream and run into the sea not an option?
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

For anyone who came in late, Moon Lee can be difficult to explain. She's kind of like if ELF's Zooey Deschanel had also been a motherfucking murder tornado. Which was always true, but rarely as true as it is in Tony Lou Chun-Ku’s brutal, bad-ass, not a sequel but not boring ANGEL TERMINATORS 2 🎥

Just having Holy Flame of the Martial World's maximalist director Tony Lou Chun-Ku at the helm of an amnesic assassin actioner like DREAMING THE REALITY with stars like Yukari Ôshima, Moon Lee and Sibelle Hu (in gender bent Chow Yun Fat mode) is already winning big at cinema, and also at life. 🎥

So I saw that Gorgo is on YouTube and think everyone who hasn’t watched it should watch it. Not a great film honestly, but having seen Gorgo would probably have saved the majority of monster movie casualties

So a huge basic problem with the tendency to treat bros like Sam Levinson like thee infallible artist behind successful works of art is that it’s totally normal for that art to work or be good or even be great in spite of them.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.
