"WHEN I SEE TRUMP, I SEE THE SAME REDNECKS I SAW WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WHO CALLED ME NI**** AND TRIED TO KEEP ME IN MY PLACE. THAT'S WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS TO ME. THEY'RE DOING IT TO YOUNG PEOPLE, GAY PEOPLE. THEY DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE.
IF YOU'RE NOT THEM, YOU'RE THE ENEMY."
- SAMUEL L JACKSON, INTERVIEW WITH ROLLING STONE

Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now and Godfather star, dies aged 95 From the classic To Kill a Mockingbird to blockbuster Gone in 60 Seconds, the Oscar-winning actor’s films spanned a remarkable range

www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

What an amazing life he had and what a wealth of great performances he leaves behind. Tom Haegen in The Godfather is such a well crafted and important character which he played perfectly

Donald Trump is a racist.
He has always been a racist.
He will always be a racist.
When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.

The videos people are taking of ICE agents torturing human beings are breaking through.
And that is why they want us to be afraid to record them.
We cannot look away.

In case you missed this exchange! Rep. Bennie Thompson asked the FBI’s own National Security ops dir. to explain β€œANTIFA.” Result? No members. No leadership. No HQ. No structure. No proof it even exists as an organization.
Yet it’s still labeled a β€œtop domestic threat.”

Abigail Devoe Because it’s so much more than reviews. Hi! I'm Abby and I have a lot of records. I also dress like I fell out of a time machine. Every Monday I cover the who, what, when, where, why, and how I feel ...

If you’re into classic albums from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and the 90s I would recommend taking a look at the excellent YouTube channel from Abigail Devoe.

Vinyl Mondays are fast becoming a highlight of my week.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp movie review (1943) | Roger Ebert One of the many miracles of "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" is the way the movie transforms a blustering, pigheaded caricature into one of the most

Roger Ebert's essay on this film is an all-time classic of film criticism imho, and cuts right to the movie's genius: a film which defends tradition and pig-headed experience, but marshalled against nazism www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...

This movie is so cool. Endlessly clever and beautiful, one of Martin Scorsese's all time favorites.

A Guillermo del Toro pic with the quote "Saying "Art is not important" is "always a prelude to fascism"

β€œBe kind, be involved, believe in your art. At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always a prelude to fascism. They think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters."

Recommendation popped up for Abigail Devoe on YouTube today. Reviews mostly classic rock albums - not particularly our thing but she is so enthusiastic & refreshingly thoughtful & fun & everything we've watched so far has been a good time πŸ‘

Damn. First Sly, now Brian. Musical geniuses who struggled so. Their gifts to us were legion and so generous. The funk and soul soundtrack to the highs and lows of the '60s and '70s, and the gorgeous teenage symphonies to God that filled innumerable hearts with joy and melancholy. Thank you.
