Personally, I think people who behave this way need to start being slapped with mischief charges. If you can’t not be an asshole, you need consequences.

I've had a number of people say I'm "extreme left" lately, but I don't identify that way.
I just want what we were promised when I grew up in the 70s and 80s: a fair shot for everyone, no matter who you are.

Am I recuperating correctly? I got a ribeye steak, and bought some adorable small Russett potatoes — 3 equals a normal baked potato. It’s loaded with Greek yogurt and green onions and chives.

I cut down a bunch of spinach for a garlicky side.

There are several goods they make in the big finale, stuff you can’t unsee once you’ve seen them, but I won’t spoil it for you, if you haven’t seen them yourself.

Cursed critical eye!

Hmm. It’s not bad but limited. Thanks tho!

In case you never paid attention, the Bible section that Andy leaves the marker at for the warden to find is EXODUS.

“Guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy livin’, or get busy dyin’.”

Man, this is one of the best big finales ever.

Diane Keaton was quirky and lovable but made of steel — and her indelible roles in the 1970s made her one of the New Hollywood greats. More:

I grew up on all of Keaton's work with Woody Allen. (Sleeper was played *often* in my house.) I'd be sad that so many great performances by her are in movies I have zero interest in ever watching again if it wasn't for Baby Boom, Reds, The Godfathers, Something's Gotta Give, and many others.

Walking has changed my life. Gyms aren’t a necessary expense for getting healthy.

Perfect on the first real autumn weekend. Saw Perfect Storm on the menu that night be good to watch this weekend too.

Shawshank came out in 1994. Somewhere around 1999, Tim Robbins (& Sarandon) came into my bookstore. I found him standoffish but the store was crowded & he was a huge star. I’m sure he was trying to get out inconspicuously.

He was in town shooting the to-be-widely-panned Mission to Mars.

One can only assume all the, ah, good stuff landed on the cutting-room floor, because it sure as hell didn't make it to Mars.

If you’re one of those “meh, it’s probably overhyped” people, you have to know this isn’t some “prison drama”.

It’s a beautiful story told with great humanity. It’s a directorial master class. You really should watch it sometime.

Yeah, it’s such a great movie about a well-laid plan and staying the course. The writing’s so good and everything else meets the mark. Darabont’s masterpiece.

Steffani [Scary Name Here] Cameron 🇨🇦 @snarkysteff.bsky.social · 10h

I’m just kidding. Of course it fucking holds up.

It’s one of the greatest popular movies ever made.

Casting, pacing, story, message, editing. It’s just solid all around.

Shawshank Redemption. It’s been a while. And we’re off.

This will be an Andy Dufresne appreciation thread.

“Since I am innocent of this crime, sir, I find it decidedly inconvenient that the gun was never found.”

Boy, I love this movie. Let’s see if it holds up.

I never go there — just dumb luck I had a car share to go to Jubilee for an x-ray and stopped off on my way back. Bought 3!

They were both deeply intelligent and artsy people. I’m sure there was a real spark that helped it along.
