If you grow up among working people, you know they/we HAVE FUN, MAKE ART, GET LAID, and EXACT VENGEANCE! Hence this year's bc X HKU Film Club, "Dreaming, loving, killing: Working people seize the means of expression"!!! We'll start with Kieślowski’s Camera Buff: cinema.com.hk/tc/movie/det...
影迷 (bc X HKU Film Club) 電影 - 百老匯院線
在奇斯洛夫斯基這部諷刺作品中，一名工廠工人花上兩個月的人工購買了一部攝影機，想要記錄新生女兒的成長。但比起女兒，周遭的世界更令他感興趣，他很快便成了業餘紀錄片導演。這身份可能為當權者所用，也可能是他們的威脅。<br> <br> 在憑藉「藍白紅三部曲」蜚聲國際之前，奇斯洛夫斯基是一名紀錄片導演，努力拍攝波蘭的真實面貌。這些經驗為《影迷》鋪好路，造就他拍成早期的劇情長片。<br> <br> 《影迷》為...

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

... I feel very fortunate that we got the chance to make and share this film, and that people forgave its artistic shortcomings. I'm glad so many of you found meaning and comfort in it. Times have changed, but we are still here in Hong Kong ...

... the film is available to rent or buy on all sorts of Apple and Google platforms worldwide. (Why did Netflx refuse to upload our English subtitles? Good question!) We shot this film in Hong Kong in 2019, and premiered internationally at Rotterdam 2020 ...

This is an incredibly obvious instance of projection and mirroring, revealing how Casey Babb thinks of both Bari Weiss and Van Jones not as individuals but as fungible and replaceable assets (tokens?) within a general category.

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.
It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

Buenos días, cineasiáticos. En el día Mundial de Correos echamos la vista atrás para recomendar 'Love Letter' de Kinuyo Tanaka. La primera película de una mujer directora asiática en participar en el Festival de Cannes. ¡Obra maestra!

🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

It really doesn't make much sense to talk about right-wing media as distinct from legacy or mainstream media at this point.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
