Quick reminder: the #GreenNewDeal is actually very good for the environment and for the economy. Pence waves it around like a magic buzzword Republicans will automatically hate.
I saw Van Halen play the Boston Garden back in '07, and Eddie - wearing nothing but camouflage cargo pants - more than lived up to his reputation... including this excellent solo mimicking a motorcycle engine. 🎸
As a kid I remember first learning about a band that was named after its guitarist - rather than its front man - and thinking... "Well he must be really good then!"
I have nothing insightful to say or meaningful to add except #BlackLivesMatter
Changed my mind. I do have something small to share...
Watching the news this week as a privileged white man, safe from the violence and protests all across this country, has me feeling both guilty and helpless.
I've put my money where my mouth is and donated to ally organizations - but I wish I could do more. I wish our leaders inspired us instead of dividing us. I wish the police could be trusted. I wish an black man's murder would cause more outrage than a footballer's silent protest.
Congratulations, nerds - you did it. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut is happening. I personally don't care for Snyder's "darker" view of these characters and don't believe #JusticeLeague will be improved (much) by making it longer. BvS was nearly 3 hours, and still felt disjointed / rushed.
That said, I love these characters (DC's animated shows of the 90s were appointment viewing after school), and am still interested to see an updated version of what *should* have been an epic movie.
But the truth is, even if this director's cut of #JusticeLeague is the best thing ever? It won't "fix" the maligned DCEU, or restore *this* continuity. Affleck left, the #Cyborg movie is in development hell. And #TheFlash works better as a TV series.
If you begin Ron Howard's brilliant film, #Apollo13 at 9:17pm ET tonight, Tom Hanks will utter the infamous, "Houston, we have a problem" line *exactly* 50 years after Jim Lovell said it for real - 10:08pm, on April 13, 1970.
If you're watching #Apollo13 ‐ start the film now! 😁
