Watching Brubaker (1980) for the first time and Brent Jennings sighting
Also a 28-year old Wilford Brimley
Potential new Bernie meme, free to good home
This clip has:
- the Principal from Buffy
- a guy being shut down by himself from the future?
- Mayor Larry Vaughn
Holy guacamole I forgot that Brubaker started the slow clap craze of 80s cinema

I have never seen this movie yet I somehow learned this years ago
*the Mayor in Buffy. I bet I said “Principal” cuz he played a principal in an episode of a sitcom that I was on (& then cut out of). Harry Groener. I quietly & calmly geeked out on him after the taping & got a picture with him. I will dig it up and post it here. WATCH THIS SPACE
Anyway, Brubaker was good! What a scary time capsule of a time when prisons were inhumane THANK GOD THAT’S NO LONGER THE CASE & WE CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW

Limiting replies is such a wormy thing for an elected official to do. I only do it because I don’t want joke punch-ups, not because people will remind me that I was implicit in mob violence & 5 deaths earlier in the week

I grew up in a racially mixed neighborhood, the child of Greatest Generartion Democrat working class parents, in a Northeastern American City and guess what? I still ended up being a racist! Because that’s who was around me. IF YOU’RE WHITE PLEASE KEEP READING!
I grew up occasionally enjoying/employing racial slurs in jokes. As I got older and got out in the world more I stopped doing this and became uncomfortable when anyone else did. And people sure did! When it was just me & a fellow white person.
I eventually had black friends. I began to become a little bit more conscious of how the world affected them through listening to them. But soooooo little. A smidge, maybe.

I am rewatching Rogue One (A Story About Star Wars) and here are my stray thoughts
Ben Mendelssohn & Alan Tudyk are great
These two are cutie pies in the extreme

What an interesting point of view, different from my own. Perhaps and exchange of ideas would build a bridge between us. Perhaps we’ll BOTH learn something? This seems like a worthy endeavor!
Free speech means not deplatforming people just because they have different political views than I do or because I just “don’t like it!” Ideas like this may not be my ideas, but people should hear them because they are ideas, and every idea is equal and good and just an opinion!
What is the harm in listening to ideas like this or giving them a platform? We shouldn’t be afraid of new thought! Ideas like this only SEEM familiar and that everyone has head them before! These ideas DESERVE a platform!

I have no idea what this movie is and I don’t want anyone to ever tell me
It is with heavy heart that I announce that I have had to mute Ed Helms
Shoutout to the people who have to tell me that Ed got the director’s name wrong, you are true cinephiles in that you have mental problems
