thank you to film twitter for ensuring i'll never tweet about a movie again! congrats

actually fuck that. ill just say it: apocalypse now was too long. casino also that shit got depressing.

every movie should be 90 minutes. there should be more lesbians in every movie. russell crowe was a pretty good javert.

also the dark knight rises was very silly

the vampire's kiss was more fun as a satire of 80s capitalism than american psycho.

movies should have intermissions again. also 2001: a space odyssey was interminable but the shining and blade runner were cool.

gotta love a book that will give you 53 different groupings of demons and one of them has "lesbianism" and another has "unitarianism"

arthritis? caused by arthritis demons

the thing is the US never actually had a lockdown? lots of countries had intense restrictions on movement and we... never did. 4,000 people died yesterday and there are no restrictions at all! so what are these folks in DC protesting exactly

"covid panic" "profiting off fear" "liberals want to prolong the pandemic" 4,000? people? died? yesterday? yesterday. 4,000 people.

i think @pareene as usual put it most eloquently:
"As usual in the United States, the people who won the political argument are now complaining the loudest that they’re dissatisfied with the results, and, apparently, it’s all the fault of the losers."
