A frame from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (1993).
About 3/4 of a dozen young school girls are in front of a barred fence, smiling. They are looking at the small dinosaur-esque Baby Godzilla in the foreground, facing away from the camera.
The caption reads, "Isn't he lovely?"
They are, of course, 110% correct.

Not pictured: Godzilla; Mechagodzilla; Baby's lovely face (because he's turned away)

Put it on in a total β€œfuck it, can’t find anything else to watch” mood one night & ended up riveted

Goddamn I love that movie

I hope they go all in on the Confederacy/Lost Cause subtext, that’d be a great cultural choice right now

I mean a consistent theme in the novels of John le CarrΓ© is that however muddy and pointless the skullduggery of the British intelligence services end up being, the American intelligence services know nothing while blowing up everything.

I was Sting's ideal listener, frankly, the kid who would actually go out & read Paul Bowles because of "Tea in the Sahara" or Mervyn Peake because an interview mentioned he had a dog named Steerpike (also to be fair excellent decisions both times)

Be fair, whose work actually demonstrates more dedication to addressing the issues of slavery &--hang on I'll come in again

That's actually how I first heard of it, though as a dumb 13-year-old I thought it was "the Tammy Show"

Still laugh at Mick Jagger correctly saying agreeing to go on after that James Brown & the Famous Flames set was the worst decision the band ever made

Best thing would be finding out that a "I cut the brakes & they thought it was an accident" story was fake but a "I held his head under in the hot tub, made sausage out of him & fed it to his asshole poker buddies" one was real

To be fair he sounded about how I'd feel if I'd been trapped all night at my job by 2 feet of snow & counting & now someone wants me to pretend I care that deeply about Mozart but still, funny as hell

My mother (retired nurse) has argued that in the case of at least a few of them it's probably "I always fantasized about doing it & now my aging memory has happily convinced me I did" but you know, I live in hope

This is a big thing for so many right-wingers I've met, this idea that everyone to the left of Torquemada is a secret communist lying & deceiving them but "at least Bernie is honest about it"

Posters here are spinning wild fantasies of Nuremberg-style trials & massive legislative & SCOTUS overhauls & WHILE I ALSO would want all those things have you seen how most of them can't even come out & say "abolish ICE," at best we have a hell ofa long way to go

I've seen a few people on here who've worked in nursing homes say when the old ladies realize they're that near death they start chortling about how they "took care of" horrible abusive husbands decades earlier & got away with it so no, I rule nothing out. 🎢 Goodbyyyyye, Earl 🎢

They really wouldn't need to honestly, Miller's doing all the actual work & all that pole-dancing in front of cages of torture victims is good for keeping her distracted

I have a thing for radio broadcasts from legendary snowstorms of the '60s & '70s. There's a WKBW one from the '77 Buffalo blizzard where the DJ keeps assuring panicked listeners they won't die & asking they turn off lights, etc to conserve power--unshockingly the richest part of town flatly refused.

Yo dawg I heard you like fuckjets so I got another fuckjet you can fly around in with your fuckjet

One of those days you say damn it all & go hang out on the Museum of Classic Chicago TV's Youtube channel. It's the morning of the '67 blizzard & the WFMT host is valiantly trying to focus on Mozart's birthday while iconic-if-you're-old-&-local Marty Robinson just sounds absolutely pissy as hell.

Genuinely a horrible way to die from everything I've heard, almost like being shot in the head by someone you should be able to trust & your corpse tossed into a nearby gravel pit

She's now "Special Envoy for Shield of the Americas" so she still gets to strut around nipples ahoy in front of cages of prisoners, I assume. With any luck she can spend eternity being cyclically disemboweled by a pack of hellhounds.

Never mind--"Special Envoy for Shield of the Americas." Jesus Christ

Also does she just back to the military base now & keep spending all her time under Lewandowski or what
