Obviously, we should keep pushing back against sports bans, but this is very much a niche issue compared to, for instance, access to transition care and the ability to socially transition, which are the core of what we call "trans rights." And which poll well in our favor!

Centrists will say, "We've lost the battle on trans rights!" and what they mean is "There is often majority support for trans sports bans." Most polling suggests a modest majority of Americans support other trans rights, which becomes a solid majority when you remove Republicans.

I havenβt posted here in ages (does anyone) but because I canβt do this on the main for Twitter, Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson back for Scream 7 to downplay how much Barrera was wronged by Spyglass is one of the most cynical and disappointing culture developments in ages.

Extremely ready to see Priscilla today and return to Sofia Stan mode. Seeing the light with her was one of the few good things that happened to me in 2016-17.

Barring A History of Violence, thatβs my favorite too. I think The Fly rounds out my Top 3, but cold take, heβs a genius and itβs hard to decide!

Exorcist 3, though, might be a bit BETTER than its reclaimers are already saying. I must begrudgingly admit⦠Catholics are really good at horror.

Exorcist 2 is going to be my βthe consensus is correctβ movie for the fall, with apologies to Martin Scorsese and whoever else is a reclaimer. Call it βso weird!!!β all you want, but I canβt even really enjoy that about it because itβs also trying and failing to be a drama.

Thereβs nothing particularly novel about this latest entry. I suppose Iβm just a bit baffled that this awful, corrupt year for the entertainment industry hasnβt inspired people to be just a BIT more introspective.

I only bring all this up because Iβm consistently amazed by how much nerds absolutely NEED every single person to take their interests with absolute, uncontested reverence.
Like, Iβm a gamer but I know my dad is past the point where he could figure out how to play them. Why is that a rare take?

Nolan hasnβt made a CBM in over a decade and is obviously referenced by Marty because heβs making money for a historical drama right now, and there are all these rinse and repeat tweets from people who think theyβve hit a home run by calling him a hypocrite.

There should be a museum exhibit dedicated to the fried brain tweets that happen every time Scorsese breathes these days.

Iβm certainly still going to watch it but wow, thatβs a shame to hear. Unlike you, my only Poe experience is with The Mask of the Red Death and The Cask of Amontillado so maybe that will help me a bit. Fingers crossed.

I havenβt seen it yet but I have to admit the trailer gave me the sense that itβs going with a more biting tone I donβt really associate with Flanagan.
