It’s hard to imagine someone more universally enjoyed than Catherine O’Hara where the opinions range from “I like her and her work” to “I love her and her work” and that’s a pretty good legacy

you know it’s a straight man making those Beatles movies when they fuck up the styling/casting of George. He’s the hottest Beatle and that promo image is not giving that.

Not an Antifa battalion commander.

Not “bussed in from out of state.”

Murdered by the Trump Administration.
