watching GODZILLA (2014) tonight and it is much better than i think i anticipated. i am very disappointed that there is no 4K blu ray, since the HD stream from iTunes leaves much to be desired.
oh my god yes. even a regular blu ray disc contains far more audio and visual information than high quality streams. there is no internet stream that compares to a 4K ultra HD transfer “streamed” from a disc
the other thing is there is really something to be said for owning the media yourself
i still rely on my old DVD boxset of The Wire because i want to watch it as aired in 4:3

watching the first raimi Spider-Man and the thing about it is it’s so unmistakably a Raimi film in the same way that Batman ‘89 is so unmistakably Burton
and both sequels involve the respective directors just embracing everything that makes them distinct and idiosyncratic

what are you talking about?!? i literally just read a story in christianity today making the identical observation as Obama and quoting Hispanic evangelicals to do it! this observation has been a part of post election coverage for the last three weeks?!?
and there’s no condescension there either, he’s just talking!
this was published in october! tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

“Quiet part loud” usually means “forgoing the dogwhistle.” Obama is straightforwardly echoing the words of Hispanic political activists and Hispanic evangelicals themselves. I would be interested to know what is offensive here. christianitytoday.com/news/2020/nove…
they are really running with “obama is an anti-hispanic bigot” because he noted that evangelical Hispanics — a group for whom the Trump campaign invested a lot of resources — are cross-pressured on social issues
even funnier coming from the guy whose website had a “black crime” tag

“the earnest attempt to subvert and overturn the election didn’t pan out so the people who urged vigilance were being hysterical” is the probably going to be conventional wisdom for the professional contrarian set
ah yes, you got me, you are very clever and i am not.
i don’t really know who you are or what your deal is but “the vigilance of people concerned for the health of our democracy” doesn’t mean tweets, it means lawyers and poll workers and advocacy groups and organizers etc.

“America, nobody can serve God and the military; you cannot serve God and money; you cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. America, choose you this day, whom ye will serve.”

This is pretty standard “you can’t serve two masters” stuff.
Clear in context that this isn’t “you can’t serve in the military and serve God” but “you can’t serve militarism and serve God”...which is true!
Interesting though to see whose religious beliefs are fair political game and whose are not.

one way to definitely get another Trump — or just Trump again — is to pretend like he didn’t spend four years doing crimes
hey maybe one problem that needs to be solved is rampant criminality from the president and his family
perhaps one way to appeal to some of those 73 million is to show with evidence and investigations that the man they invested their hopes in was a crook who fleeced them at every opportunity
