I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

My theory, based on her other films, is that she has no idea what she's doing.

Holmes' drug addiction was also addressed in SH AND THE SECRET WEAPON, where Professor Moriarty teases him about it.

Nice. What's funny and charming is that it's the bashfulness of a Victorian gentleman who has clearly known a lot of ladies. Houston (who made his name walking around half-naked in THE BLUE LAGOON) was the first sexy Watson... the only one until Jude Law.

The "other" Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper movie, and just as good as Murder by Decree, though in a punchier and more lurid style.
Handsomely mounted meet of detective fiction and grisly slasher fact. Gloriously shot with a sharp script, a cracking cast and shocks to spare. 1965.

Lots to love here. Neville is a pretty darn good Sherlock and Houston is one of the best Watsons. Great art direction, and I especially love the score.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

To me, "libertarian" has always meant "Republican, but ashamed of admitting it." As for their so-called philosophy, it's like arguing that traffic lights are an impediment to personal freedom, and then shrugging at the resulting crashes.
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

I've seen people here posting that legacy media is ignoring this story, but it was the main headline of yesterday's New York Times.
The media is not the problem. 40% of the country being irredeemable racists is the problem.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.
And right now media is ignoring.

Flemyng's role was first offered to Basil Rathbone, who accepted but passed away shortly before filming. The movie would've been 10x better but not necessarily good.

In other news, I have reason to believe the sky is blue.
Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:
“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking:
Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.
