if this isn't civil war i'm not sure what is

I guess I need to show the lobby person the Tom Cruise video.

Yes, I absolutely did ask the front desk about this who sent someone who then had no idea what I meant when I said, “the picture looks weird and like a soap opera.”

My mortal enemy is this hotel that won’t allow me to turn off motion smoothing.

Places like Broadview and predominantly Hispanic/latino neighborhoods might not have name recognition or regular coverage like Daley Plaza (?), but you’re still failing them.

Recommendations for things to do in New Orleans?

Masterpiece. And less than 100 minutes.

Museum of the Moving Image's Reverse Shot header page, for Touching the Screen (the site's games section). Two pieces from our Kojima symposium are highlighted: Cole on Metal Gear & Snatcher, Forrest on Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2.

Love to open @reverseshot.bsky.social every morning this week and see new pieces from the Kojima mini-symposium we've been working on this year. Hope everyone enjoys us diving into the work and themes of @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp through our writing.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I’ve updated the Gofundme’s goal following Sandwiches’s last trip to the vet & this past weekend’s visit from a very helpful and kind at-home euthanasia specialist. At the moment we’ve raised $2,500 of our $3,500 goal. Thanks to everyone who’s helped so far; we appreciate your overwhelming support.

Love you too, bud!! Thanks so much for everything, it was such a fun weekend. I also promise I will never look this good in a picture ever again lol.

State cops literally assisted ICE in assaulting and arresting people who had been actively complying with the demands of state police. Folks were on the sidewalk, and ICE marched up and attacked the crowd for a photo op. IL state cops helped. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must be held accountable.

So uh…anyone have suggestions for things to do in New Orleans?

If you’re in Illinois and you’re disturbed by the images that you’re seeing of the Illinois State Police in Broadview this morning, please call now. It will honestly take 30 seconds. I spoke to a real person.

Here are the phone numbers:

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

Very much agree, but between the overlong owl sequence and the way they resolve Anderson’s character’s story, I came away with a feeling that it was rushed near the end. I’ll totally watch a sequel though.

If you go the White House website, you see this. You also see the words “Americans Don’t Agree with Democrats’ Actions” followed by an incredibly lengthy list of organizations. When you click on each one, you get a note or letter from that organization about the need for a continuing resolution. 1/🧵

She is giving her all in it!! I wish the movie didn’t diminish her role in the third act. Left an odd taste in my mouth.

New Naked Gun was fun in the moment, but I’d be lying if I said I thought about it more than once since I watched it.

Barely been watching movies, but highlights of last month were Pedicab Driver (great), Misericordia (very good), and John Carter (awkwardly conceived and miscast but incredibly ambitious and super interesting to examine in its release and production context).

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials

No National Guard necessary

Vistavision isn't possible, but 75 mm IMAX may be possible!! Thanks for the response.

Thanks so much, Scott. This is Sinners all over again with all the different formats.

If I can make 70 mm happen, is that the best way to see One Battle After Another? Or do I want IMAX?

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!
