Zeman is a stunner. Soundtrack by the great Zdenek Liska too!

Today's Film Recommendation:

Go to Kanopy and get lost in the visual delights of Karel Zeman's 1962 film THE FABULOUS BARON MUNCHAUSEN. Gilliam's movie is great and all but it's got nothing on the practical effects, delicious animation, and pure whimsy of this one. #filmsky

Not sure that BUGONIA stuck the landing but Jesse Plemons was phenomenal in that one.

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.

It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.

So.

You don't know what to do. You are scared, angry, and you can't believe this is happening. You can't believe it might happen to you, to your community.

What do you do now?

Today's Film Recommendation:

Let's Andres Veiel's documentary RIEFENSTAHL be the final word on Leni Riefenstahl and her pathetic justifications for platforming a fascist regime with her work. Catch it on Kanopy.
