Up to and including union-busting!

It's one thing to skip something because you're not feeling it in the moment, but I don't think she's seen that section in decades no matter how many times seeing the movie.

Has anyone encountered people who insist on skipping parts of movies they otherwise enjoy? Just dealt with MiL refusing to watch the Night on Bald Mountain sequence in Fantasia, and it just feels like such an alien concept to me.

I used to live in your district, and have paid attention to your decisions because of it. I'd like to think you're less likely to screw over veterans than you are women with your SAVE Act vote, and I'm hoping you can prove me right. Do something, or they will lose their only source of income. 2/2

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov, my sister-in-law's family, who live in your district, are being threatened by the federal government to have her husband pay back his Army separation pay from 20 years ago "because his disability rating has increased" which was service-related. 1/2

I implore @repdelbene.bsky.social to stand up to the continued unfettered backing the Trump administration provides as they get even cozier with this apartheid state than the Biden administration was.

And yet the US keeps funding this vindictive targeted murdering along with the wholesale slaughter. Been dismissed by @repdelbene.bsky.social, my Representative, with 'Israel has the right to defend itself' and all that. Is this defense?

Watching a Sylvester McCoy Doctor Who adventure and the futuristic slang they feature includes 'unalive'. They knew.

‘October 8’ is a danger to both student protesters and Jewish Americans The Debra Messing-produced, Wendy Sachs-directed film grants permission to persecute students and pass the buck of antisemitism.

Now in theatres, the Debra Messing-produced doc "October 8" lays the blame for modern antisemitism at the feet of campus demonstrations, and in the process, endangers not only protesters (like Mahmoud Khalil) but Jewish Americans too. A real piece of shit. joysauce.com/october-8-is...

Can't say I'm surprised about how toxic this film is, but @siddhantadlakha.bsky.social digs into how odious it is in ways I would not have suspected. Ashamed to see it showing at my local AMC.

Good thing I had a live update going because that was the worst possible time for Hulu to give up on the broadcast. They really need to do better.

I so wanted In the Shadow of the Cypress to win, this evening is off to a great start!

Finally digging into Kino Lorber's 'Cinema's First Nasty Women' collection, and it starts off with a bang. Leontine, who's real identity doesn't seem to be known, should be held in the same esteem as Keaton and Chaplin. She's a maniacal little chaos goblin who torments everyone around her.

Always fun when random people show up in movies. Watching Friday the 13th VI, and Horshack is here!

Joys of working in Utah, got to overhear a conversation about how the sex scene in Oppenheimer (which neither of these guys had seen) was completely unnecessary/explicit/over the top. Extreme violence in a historical context was fine, but not sex. Fucking absurd priorities.
