Pretty sure the pentagon has air conditioning
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

I cannot express how much this movie really struck me like lightning. Ward hasn’t made a movie in nearly 20 years, which is a tragedy.
With THE UNLOVED celebrating twelve years, this latest video essay from @honorszombie.bsky.social explores RIVER QUEEN, a “film that the world forgot … which little of it ever saw.”

Suddenly reminded of the Bob & Ray bit where a man named The Right Honorable G.L. Hummerbeck is run for president, though he hasn't won yet, because in his tribe you're named after the first thing you see as a baby, which happened to be supreme court justice Charles Evans Hughes.

Whenever I watch an auteurist work that seemingly everyone hates, I know there’s a 50/50 shot that @honorszombie.bsky.social has done an Unloved on it convincingly arguing why they’re all wrong www.rogerebert.com/mzs/the-unlo...

The second in my four part series covering the great dramatic performances of Diane Keaton is live. In this one I look at her work in Gillian Armstrong's illicit romance MRS. SOFFEL.

Vanity Fair is now such a bringdown from its glory years of glamorizing the Reagans, publishing heroic portfolio of Bush and his Iraq War mongers, deleting Epstein crimes from Epstein profile, and of course the classic Hitchens women aren't funny column.

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.
