DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.

So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

....so Twitter's completely fucked beyond all hope of usage. What's new with you?

And yes, there will be so many memes.

I'm back in time for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! This year, I actually intend to participate beyond a vague "you're not alone" post with associated hashtags - so, throughout the month of May, I'll be periodically posting about my own mental illness and how it's seen by society.

TW: Neil Gaiman, vague references to sexual assault, my imposter complex in full swing, my academic pretentiousness.

I made a couple of threads on the fascism app that I guess should also go here. First, my Hitchcock thread (to give context to the next.)

The party of good old-fashioned Christian values, everybody!

Shabbat shalom, and I hope the same for you and yours.

I really want to distract myself from real life (aka our collective descent into hell) with a movie. However, I don't just have a weird aversion to genres like screwball comedy/silly slice of life/most anything that might actually cheer me up, but somehow naturally gravitate toward depressing shit.

[34x Convicted Felon-Elect]2028 is trending on the dumpster fire app, and for some reason I keep getting bombarded with all-caps meltdowns and people blocking me in multiple threads just for asking an innocent question:

Do you think an 82 year old whose blood type is McDouble would be alive enough?

The second I see his name tied to any movie production, no matter what it may be, I'm out. The movie could be the 21st century's greatest cinematic masterpiece but I'll never know because I refuse to take part in enabling him.

Ugh, thanks for reminding me. That man is a menace.

A24 Horror Movie 'Opus' Stars John Malkovich as a Popstar Cult Leader [Image] A24 brings fresh horror back to the big screen here in early 2025 with Opus starring Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and John Malkovich (Billions), and USA Today

Look, when you put the words "A24", "horror", and "Malkovich" in the same sentence, there's absolutely nothing more you need to tell me because I want it immediately injected straight into my veins. GIMME.

Still completely consumed by the aftereffects of NOSFERATU. Good lord, the sheer amount of possibilities for analyses...

I still do manage to have genuinely positive interactions with friends I know AND new people I vibe with enough that I'm not quite ready to pack it in yet.

Darn-tootin'! They just handed me this doctorate when I batted my eyelashes just right.
