Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Only one movie has ever managed to recreate that uniquely Dickens magic, achieving it not so much through adaptation as through transmutation.

I don't remember why I asked Jaylan if she still had the podcast snapshot of me with my headless David 8 doll but here it is! It's the kind of quality film content you get on the Women InSession Podcast. 😁

Yes, the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol is excellent. But I prefer FX’s dark fantasy drama version featuring Guy Pearce as Ebenezer Scrooge…a brilliant performance with the same important message in the end of human frailty and redemption. If you’ve never seen it, it’s a must see.

Wrote about this for @insessionfilm.bsky.social! It's amazing Welles' Othello is so great with all the behind the scenes trouble & blackface portrayal. 🎬

To think this could have been the First Family again but y'all had to go be stupid facists white supremacists. That shouldn't be surprising since today is a fake holiday celebrating a dinner with Native Americans that never happened but enjoy your turkey, pilgrim, I hope you could afford the eggs.
From our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving!

I really like the 2019 FX A Christmas Carol with Guy Pearce. Very dark.

For me, the best version until 2019 when Guy Pearce turned up as Scrooge in a show stopping version from Exec Producers - Tom Hardy & Ridley Scott.
Dickens done right!

I think The Woman in Cabin 10 would have been 10 times better had it not been from the stereotypical journalist point of view & instead been from the perspective of that inside double twist we all saw coming. 🎬
The Woman In Cabin 10

Pretty by-the-numbers mystery film only kinda saved by a decent cast.

SPOILERS

"Guy Pearce is the secret villain" isn't much of a twist, though.

Yesss. I wish this 3 hour A Christmas Carol had been longer with an hour each for the last 2 ghosts! Highly recommend! 🖤
The Guy Pearce version of “A Christmas Carol” is pretty fantastic but I feel like the 2nd half is rushed. Meanwhile Andy Serkis is chewing on the scenery. Plus a cameo with Nandor uhhh I mean Kayvan Novak.

One of the reasons why I love #blakes7 is because they fought the evil Federation *even though they knew they were not going to win*. Because it was better to try and fail than to never try at all.
