Purple Rain (and it ain't even close)
Grosse Point Blank
Trainspotting
The Graduate
Help
Clueless
Pulp Fiction
Amadeus
Hornsby movies
Repo Man
As you might have guessed, I'm Gen-X
Amadeus is, of course, a cheat. Purple Rain, also a cheat. But if we want to veer into scores...the Kiera Knightly Pride and Prejudice score is amazing...
And somehow I forgot Oh Brother Where Art Thou, which may be the greatest of all of these, both for how the songs propel/are the plot, but the range of artists...

You take a wholly irresponsible social media platform that has helped fuel anti-democratic and hate movements around the world and combine it with cryptocurrency, what could go wrong?
If you bank through Facebook...just don't.
Cannot imagine how triggering this is for Elizabeth Warren

#Trump announces tariffs as leverage to 'encourage' Mexico to address illegal immigration prob at the border. Caught off guard and realizing he's dead serious, Mexico hastily springs into action to avoid the pain....the same pain that we're told Americans would be paying BTW. 🤔
For starters, most regular politicians would never dare be so bold. But it gets better as #Trump is not only willing to announce them, but goes so far as to not put them on hold while Mexico scrambles to submit, hoping for a delay.

"Results First! Tariffs Will Commence" ~ #POTUS
It's not even close, Patriots. As a result of what's going on now, history will regard this man as the greatest #POTUS ever for having saved not only the country, but the whole damn human race. #MAGA

I have a particular love for dark and gritty art with rough strokes. Ivan Khotenov's Sk_15 fits that perfectly. artstation.com/artwork/L2Zwbw

Over Talis' shoulder, the storm spanned the horizon. Thick, dark clouds of sand reached up to blot the searing sun from the sky. This wall of death stretched up more than a mile. Her death, if she didn't get out of the Razorsand Sea.

Jefa's dying screams echoed in her head, even as she gunned the runnerbike and took off. On Toxous' order, she'd been fed to an acidworm for some perceived slight on his part. Seeing her lover's flesh disolve made Talis want to vomit.

First we took their children away.

We detained them like prisoners, drugged them if they got rowdy.

We lost track of some. Didn't bother to track others.

Some babies, we made face judges alone.

We have 65 still in custody. Their parents...gone.

Then we tried accepting no asylum claims for domestic or gang violence.

We did close the ports of entry to no more than 12 claimants/day.

We make them wait for months in squalor & danger in Tijuana.

If they didn't wait, we tried to call them illegible for asylum.

When they finally make it thru our gates, we send them back to Tijuana to wait.

Or we cage Mamas & babies together.

The babies get sick. Many are detained longer than legally allowed.

On Chinese New Year, THE WANDERING EARTH, the first full-scale big budget space science-fiction film from China, will open in theatres. There will be many more to come. So here's a thread about previous and proto-SF Chinese movies, to try and wait (im)patiently.
It started in Hong Kong, then a British colony. Hong Kong films were mainly produced by private funds, with little to no money (and less control) from the state. The first Chinese-speaking sci-fi film was RIOTS IN OUTER SPACE (Wong Tin-lam, 1959).
The comedy film, produced by Cathay, is seemingly lost (anyone knows where to find it, give me a shout!). It was about two workers from a firecrackers factory who are brought to the hospital after an explosion. They dream of travelling to Venus and Mars.

I got to explain #GayPanic and #UselessLesbian to my pysch today 😂

These are terms I just learned (over the last few months myself) that described succinctly, what the heck is going on with my brain.

To unpack these terms, I'm going to start you with Sappho.

“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.” –Sappho

To everyone, we've almost all been in this feeling. (i cannot speak for Ace)
Someone we see or meet, and their presence just #dazzles us into #malfunction (however brief)

-
- it's a pretty common #human #feeling. (again, cannot speak for Ace, and that's ok, y'all are lovely :) )

now here's where #GayPanic sets in... we feel the feels...omg. wow.
and our brains go into... IS THIS DANGER????

I'm sorry to say, our panic does start there.
