Right now all the Trump people are telling reporters about what their polling really looks like for their post-election stories. If history is any indicator (Romney, McCain) all the cable news bravado is total bull.

You’ll probably start seeing a turn late on Election Day, when the jig is almost up

Look for bs like “we knew this was a difficult environment for us...”

No political take I have gets people going like my admittedly unusual movie takes. I still haven’t done that Casablanca rewatch to see if my scorching hot “it’s ok I guess” take holds up.

So far the biggest movie I loathed that I think many like has been Amadeus. It seems people generally agreed with me that Chariots of Fire wasn’t great?

BTW I hate when I don’t like a classic movie and people insist it’s an age/context thing. No, if anything I tend to like a lot of movies from long before my time. But I like to assess a movie on it’s own, not because everyone says it’s good.

I liked Search for Spock more than Wrath of Khan.

Reaction to these tweets make me feel like I have to watch voyage home so I can complete this set of hot takes.

I saw it when it originally came out but I barely remember it. I’m a fan of Star Trek/Wars but I don’t get knee-deep like w DC/Marvel.

And in case u missed it , it’s not that I think Wrath of Khan was bad. It’s just that I felt it was *fine*.

the press in our country has a derangement. its dangerous.

"As President Donald Trump faces an uncertain future, so too does a fixture of the American political scene over the last five years: the Trump campaign rally, a phenomenon that has spawned friendships, businesses and a way of life for Trump’s most dedicated supporters."

guess i missed the trailer

ive said this before, but my whole problem with this argument is - black people, latino people, asian people - we all lost the factory jobs during globalization, and yet... we didnt go all racist. but its used as an excuse w white people.

What? Oh just compulsively checking on the early voting numbers and the latest tallies, like a crazy person.

“Ok well what if he gets PA but NOT Wisconsin but wins NE-2 and we don’t get Florida on Tuesday, do we still have a country? AND WHAT ABOUT TEXAS” - me fiddling with the interactive electoral map, again
