I'm gonna bribe the officials
I'm gonna kill all the judges
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage

I am not sure, but wasn't this written in Pascal?

Wow. I played this.

You are better than that.

holy shit

My generation's greatest love story.

I lump in Ken Russell films with lazy Satanism. Nothing really to say except "I am the opposite of the Catholic Church so I will do everything they do but... get this... invert the symbols! So... Instead of worshipping a Madonna I worship a whore! Clever, eh? I'm so genius!"

He could do better.

I would listen to his commentary track on 'Lair of the White Worm' which is his best film by far.

This monologue is the best distillation of why he is interesting and also why it is perfectly ok to dismiss him.

Wish I could say this movie was good.

I worry about Heidi Cruz, cuz her man Ted would dump her for this.

None shall push aside another, none shall let another fall.
Works beside me, oh my brother.
All for one and one for all.

oh come on man what the fuck is going on, this is terrible

I don't know how to tell you this, but I have already boosted my productivity, and it didn't do any of the things you promised me it would do. Now I'm thinking this whole productivity thing is a scam.

Man what a week

Photographing the 'Asleep at the Wheel' concert tonight.

Thanks to a crucial Supreme Court decision on its shadow docket that authorized immigration officers to racially profile people they thought might be undocumented, Operation Metro Surge saw officers target anyone — citizen or not — who wasn’t white for questioning, detention or, in many cases, brutal treatment. ICE began going door-to-door in predominantly minority neighborhoods to ask where residents were born, sometimes dragging them out of their homes at gunpoint. Officers indiscriminately fired pepper spray and tear gas at residents, including into the car of a family, hospitalizing a baby. “What that did was have an incredibly chilling effect on how people move about our communities,” said Richard Carlbom, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. “There are U.S. citizens who are Black, brown or Asian who won’t leave their house and we have to deliver food to them on a weekly basis because they’re afraid of being detained.”

One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

Not a great day.

Oh man Robert Duvall too?

The greatest

if you're unfamiliar with Wiseman or his body of work, i recommend heading to Kanopy (if you have access) and throwing a dart

you'll discover, film after film, the best documentaries ever made

today my mind goes to his epic, difficult, astonishing film, Near Death www.kanopy.com/en/torontopl...

Obama on Trump's antics, including posting a video depicting him and Michelle as apes: "It's important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling. It is true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction ... people still believe in decency"

Obama: "Right now we're being tested. And the good news is what we saw in Mpls and St. Paul, and what we're seeing in places across the country included here in LA, has been the American people -- at least a good number of them -- saying 'we're going to live up to those values we say we believe in'"

Obama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate, or cut off funding, but that's contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work. We shouldn't get discouraged by the fact we have a tougher job"

Obama: "Ethically speaking, it's an atrocity in a country this wealthy we have people just on the streets, & we should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity. But we should also recognize the average person doesn't want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown"

Frederick Wiseman and Robert Duvall on the same day. We loved our nonagenarian kings.

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.
