If he's already had de Niro & Pacino at the Vatican, there's no way Heat is not one of his all-timers

Yes, I see the above post has the wrong "it's"

My Undesirable Friends: Part I - Last Air in Moscow (2024) ⭐ 7.9 | Documentary 5h 24m

Here's a link to it's iMDB page, which has a trailer: www.imdb.com/title/tt3307...

Yesterday, I saw an LA screening of My Undesirable Friends Part I, a documentary about independent Russian journalists in the months leading up to the Ukraine invasion. It's *very* good. While it is a serious commitment (5.5 hours, albeit broken into 5 parts), I cannot recommend enough.

Not if those of us who care about privacy have anything to say about it

If you are wondering whether you should have seen One Battle After Another on film in an IMAX theatre tonight I’m sorry to say you probably should have

Waiting to see whether Kimmel had to agree to be muzzled as a condition of going back on-air, because that's something the public needs to know. It's not a victory if he goes back on the air with a list of things he's secretly never allowed to talk about anymore, guests he can't have on, etc.

I'm glad to see that undercutting our First Amendment rights was not completely for nothing. Oh, wait.

Holmes & Hand were famously concerned at the prospect that people may be rude

Plus also don't write that "they have changed their views" -- their views have not changed. The only thing that has changed is that you are now seeing that their views were not sincerely held.

There was a HUGE contingent of very hacky comics who went anti-Biden/pro-Trump claiming that "woke scolds" were "canceling comedy."

Feels like maybe they should be speaking up?

Review: "Paul Thomas Anderson insists, in #OneBattleAfterAnother’s glorious and just-shy-of-corny final seconds, that there is still something like a future out there, past the smoke and ruin, worth struggling toward, inch by agonizing inch" bit.ly/42y61Kn

For me, the sun rises & sets with Heat.

Sale to rich lackey it is!

Clay Higgins saying there are no 230 protections for companies that don't suppress people celebrating Kirk's death is not just wrong on the law but a very clear attack on First Amendment protected speech.

This is actual government jawboning in pursuit of silencing disfavored views.

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”:
‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’

A quote from senator ron wyden "The Church Committee's meticulously researched examination of abuses within U.S. intelligence agencies has been a guiding light for senators who are serious about asking tough questions about what our government does behind closed doors. My own work with senators investigating the NSA's warrantless surveillance and torture by the CIA would not have been possible without Senator Church's groundbreaking study. Every American who believes a government must be accountable to its citizens should read this report."

Our 50th anniversary streamlined edition of the Church Committee Report will be on shelves in January, but in the meantime, look at this incredible blurb we got from surveillance opponent and civil liberties champion, Senator Ron Wyden.
