I've spent the last three weeks wrestling with Wake Up Dead Man. Here are some of my thoughts—I have many more.
I am wildly grateful to talk about art that deals seriously with the world we've created, and somehow still holds on to hope.

When I took Husb to see Mad Max: Fury Road by dragging him to the last theatre playing it in London just after he got off the Eurostar. When the film pans over the entire War Party, Husb turned to me and whispered "this film is awesome!" I said "just wait!"
Then the guitar flamethrower happened.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

Everything about Jordan Walsh has been a surprise, but maybe the most surprising thing is that he can dribble. Normally his archetype are a disaster when they put it on the floor. They’re sloppy and make bad decisions and turn it over. Walsh isn’t a PG or anything, but he’s capable with the ball!

I’d wager a kidney that the typical millionaire/billionaire who takes advantage Trump’s gold card grift is far, far more likely to extract money from taxpayers through corruption/corporate welfare than the undocumented, low-skill workers they falsely accuse of leeching public benefits.
