Indeed. I thought they did not cast a reflection.

This is obviously hateful, but for people indifferent to the hate, just a big waste of money. You have the Secretary of Transportation cheering the destruction of functional public infrastructure.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 1d

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

I really needed a laugh today! Thanx OP and commenters.

Saw this in a drive-in when it first was released. Was not impressed at first. But repeated viewings over the years? It grew on me. Great fun.

Oh the horrors! Spiders want to live in our homes. How dare they want to exist!

Instead of "treating" the door frame to insure a shield of death, how about capturing and escorting the critters outside?

Wow! Very cool! I seem to recall there were 2 versions of the model. One featured the "Chariot".

Gene @gsanta5.bsky.social · 2d

I had the Aurora model when I was a young'un.

ICE are the thugs who attacked the capital, now unleashed on the entire US.

This is a great episode. A tour de force for Pleasence.

I can say two good things about this movie: great poster, and it has something to do with spiders!

Very true! Interesting reads are some of the books that document the genesis of Star Trek. The suits could not stomach a black female officer on the bridge, let alone a female as second in command (the first pilot). We are all prisoners of our own times, no matter our forward flying imaginations.

This treatment was sadly common in these. A horrid practice was they often give scientist women male names. It's as if the writers/producers thought an accomplished and smart woman would push the "suspension of disbelief" a little too far! So a male first name would soften the blow. Heh!

Many people still dont understand how fucked we are. "Trump" is now an empire. His extended family are all billionairs. His org has dozens of billionairs and 100s of millionaires as members. All working to bend America into the shape they want. This is not going away.

"Devination", not "deviation". Grrr

What a great pic! I'd beg her to carve my pumpkin!
