For those in Richmond. I’ll be doing deliveries to clinics this week and can also deliver to you or your org.

Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?

During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

I promised myself that I'd only post on here if I had something to say, and I think this counts: I'm thrilled to share news of my forthcoming book, "The World of Black Film: A Journey Through Cinematic Blackness in 100 Films".

Many on the left are lauding Marjorie Taylor Greene for (rightly) saying Gaza is a genocide & calling for limiting of aid to Israel.

But some of us aren't goldfish & actually *remember* how MTG helped lay the groundwork for the genocide & the crackdown on pro-Palestine voices.

This is such a shameful, shameful place.

If you are a Brown alum, please take a minute to call and tell them it is unacceptable to throw trans students and community members under the bus. If you get voicemail, leave a message — they are calling people back.

This is what history tells us happens in fascist/apartheid regimes. First to mind, that's also recent is South Africa.

Sembène, Ousmane – Senses of Cinema

Meet Ousmane Sembène, the Father of African Cinema! His bold films like Black Girl & Ceddo broke barriers, telling authentic African stories in African languages. A griot of the screen, he challenged colonialism and sparked change. #SembeneOusmane #AfricanCinema #FilmLegend

Especially in this economy. AI doesn’t have kids to feed, rent/mortgage to pay, food to eat or a life to live (yet).

Columbia punishes students involved in pro-Palestinian protest It comes as Columbia seeks a deal with the Trump administration to reinstate millions in federal funding.

Columbia just expelled or suspended 80 students for protesting in favor of Palestinian rights. Suspended students can only be readmitted if they "apologize"--otherwise the suspension converts to an expulsion.

Im watching #Paradise. Im trying to figure out if the end of the world part matters to the story.

I don’t think anything is enough for them to lose complete faith and support in that man. I understand having hope for it though.
