"y tu mama tambien" is one of my favorite films, by one of my favorite filmmakers, alfonso cuaron. I was surprised to find out in an interview w/ alfonso I saw a while back that guillermo del toro came up with the film's ending. spoiler alert for those who haven't seen it!
in the same interview alfonso mentions how guillermo also played a crucial role in the making of alejandro inarritu's "amores perros", another brilliant film that I highly recommend. I love the spirit of comradery they all have with one another, helping each other make great art
here's the full talk with cuaron, where they go over all his films and he provides great insights into all that went into making them
here's the episode of the "fallen angels" show cuaron mentioned directing early in his career, which won him some awards. it's quite lynchian, and not just because it stars laura dern. also great acting by alan rickman

#ImStillWithHer trending reminds me of one of my favorite stand-up acts: obama just effortlessly destroying hillary clinton. THREAD WITH CLIPS
I love the way he plays on the crowd too, like a natural. when obama is running for election for himself, there are no holds barred and he will destroy whoever is on the other side. just look at this:
another one of my favorites, when obama turned hillary clinton voting against the bankruptcy bill and then saying she was glad to not see it pass into a comedy routine. btw remember bernie didn't bring this up at the debates in 2016 when asked to name one case of her corruption
today marks the 18 year anniversary of rachel corrie's murder by an israeli soldier, who intentionally crushed her to death with a bulldozer for the crime of trying to stop the demolition of palestinian homes. she bravely gave her life to help others. she was only 23
the soldier and everyone else involved in her murder were acquitted by israel, "the only democracy in the middle east". they murder palestinians wantonly without consequence, so why shouldn't they extend this courtesy to americans and others who dare join their struggle?
alan rickman adapted her diary into the play "My Name is Rachel Corrie" which you find various versions of on youtube. and here's 10-year old rachel corrie talking about her ideals. the cruelty it takes to murder a beautiful soul like this is unimaginable. she's one of my heroes
for four years liberals kept saying trump only won bc of "bernie bros", russia, comey, anything but the neoliberal devastation of the prior decades that dems helped further, and anyone saying that was denounced as a racist/sexist. now they're admitting that was all just bullshit
why is no one in the deranged professional media class falling over schumer and calling him a racist sexist "bro" doing "economic anxiety" arguments which is akin to fascist nazi white supremacist ideology? why aren't they calling him a putin puppet? oh right, it was all a con
additional irony of schumer being the guy giving up the con and admitting what everyone aside from the deranged liberal professional media class already knew is that he was the one promoting the "fuck the workers, we'll get the affluent!" line in '16
everyone was promised $2000 #StimulusChecks "immediately after" dems won the georgia senate races. instead they narrowed the scope of those who will receive it to below the amount who got one under trump, it became 1400, and you had to wait 2 months for it
democrats could have passed 2K checks for everyone right away. it was literally polling way higher than every single dem candidate. it was the bare minimum they could do to show they aren't liars. but no, they had to fuck it up with delays, deceit and means-testing bullshit
whenever you post something like this you get a barrage of 12 year old "anarcho-bidenists" who have glommed on to some youtube surrogate daddy or other saying this in unison while thinking they are being very Wonky and Realistic:
lmao liberals are melting down in the replies saying it's totally normal for "influencers" to get paid, and accusing me of also being paid. they literally can't comprehend anyone expressing their sincerely held political views without being paid to do so
having said that, if anyone wants to pay me to call biden a rapist and serial sexual assaulter, I'd happily take it. especially if it's from putin. hit me up
lol just to be clear this was a joke, I don't actually want any donations. getting paid for tweeting is weird to me, and I generally feel uncomfortable with a monetary dimension being added to various forms of social interaction that imo function better without it
that time piers morgan had on someone he thought would be an easy target to berate live on air but instead hilariously got his ass handed to him and was exposed for the fragile man-child he is. "you look like honey-glazed gammon" lmao
remember, according to piers morgan the hysterical pathological obsession with smearing meghan markle with the most grotesquely racist garbage imaginable isn't actually racist, but someone saying he looks like honey-glazed gammon is. that's how much of a pathetic hack he is
LOL the ending is so good. "it wasn't churchill who won the war, it was the soldiers, sailors and airmen, and they voted him out when they came home"
