Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, exceeding any yearly total since 2004—including the pandemic years. ProPublica found that at least 170 American citizens have been caught in ICE dragnets and spent time in detention.
ICE Is a Law-Breaking ‘Law Enforcement’ Agency
A Trump-appointed judge took the agency to task for its flagrant contempt.

That drunk lady whose voicemail Alamo Drafthouse used to play in ads to show they weren't kidding about how they dealt with patrons who disrupted the film is having the last laugh now, isn't she.

Like, I've told people that it's possible to have an individual, in the moment reaction to a work of art, or a moment in a film, that comes from that person's specific perspective, and need not have anything to do with why the artist made it in the first place. I've had to say that to people.
This morning, across all social media platforms, folks are coming out in droves to prove how much they suck at liking art.

As usual, this sort of thing is approached as somehow a binary, mathematical situation. It's not. I do not think WOMAN IN THE YARD is better than OBAA, which is obviously a a great cinematic achievement, but I do like it more. This should not be complicated.
so you're saying woman in the yard was better than OBAA
got it

So tired am I of the discourse that I think I'm going to start arguing the other extreme, which is that *no* art is political.

Sorry, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, you're bumped. I just didn't like it as much as everyone else, and I did like THE MASTERMIND as much as everyone else.

checking to see what the WWE library on Netflix looks like (terrible, totally incomplete, no WCW at all) and I saw this….interesting phrasing

Also I think after DEAD MAN, GHOST DOG, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, and THE DEAD DON'T DIE, I think "nothing happens in his movies" can be retired as a default criticism of Jarmusch. (Not to mention, I've never seen a movie where nothing happened, and I once saw a Henry Jaglom film.)
Speaking of FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER, it's my understanding that some have complained that nothing happens. Oh my God that sounds so fucking great.

Anybody know if FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is heading to Criterion Channel or MUBI any time soon? It's not playing anywhere near me.

It’s the INVERSE of cinema. A linear string of two-to-three minute scenes, strung together, zero dynamism, relying solely on the narrative to retain interest, would be better as a newspaper article, which it was.

Affleck and Damon are on TODAY right now, and it has led me to ask this question: has anyone ever seen ARGO twice?
