Sadly, I can relate. The world is burning and people feel powerless. Pile on harsh economic realities and it's a lot to cope with.

There’s also a great Kino Lorber Blu-ray of Best Little Whorehouse available with a commentary track by myself and @bryanreesman.bsky.social. Hard Candy Christmas is my fav…

She was talented and inspiring. We often people say that someone who has passed away will be deeply missed. That statement really applies to Dolly, not only in terms of her friends and family, but this whole country. Farewell, Dolly. #dollyparton #americanicon #9to5 #literacy #feminism

I was a kid when I saw Dolly Parton in the movie "9 to 5". It was perhaps my first awareness of feminism. Dolly's sass and spirit struck me. I later became aware of her good deeds, especially with childhood literacy. She was an irrepressible force of nature who genuinely cared for other people.

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

"Cultural experiences are increasingly becoming something that only elites can afford, turning both communal experiences and personal enrichment into privileges rather than expectations," writes @bryanreesman.bsky.social for @opinion.bloomberg.com bit.ly/4n6XJlD

The trailer for the film using an AI-generated Val Kilmer has been released. Last month, @bryanreesman.bsky.social wrote: "Even if Kilmer approved, the impact of this 'performance' risks being undercut by its artificiality — and what’s at stake goes beyond one star." Gift link: bit.ly/4cNVwbh

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

While flawed for different reasons (Donner probably should have kept in a bit of Lester footage for pacing purposes), I prefer this to the theatrical version because it's darker and shows us what could have happened if Donner had stayed on. We could have had a truly great quadrilogy.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

It's great that Swayze could do this and "Dirty Dancing" and be equally loved for both.

Sadly, too many young people are used to hearing computerized rock and pop music now. So much stuff is set to a click, and I think a lot of these groups don't actually know how to play well live and have the ebb and flow that can make a concert really interesting.

A tricky part about loving horror movies and cult films is that... they're not always what we expect. I now have a 15-minute rule where I check out early if it's not grabbing me.

I remember watching the truncated first season of "Entourage" and being amused. Then I realized it was just the male version of "Sex and the City" and stopped watching. They were both shows about seemingly hip but vapid urbanites with questionable values that mythologized their self-involved lives.

I loved the second night of the 10th annual A Murder Of Crows goth and post-punk festival on Saturday night. It was a bit of a mid-'90s flashback as I saw many people I first got to know back then, all of whom are still doing their music. #amurderofcrows #goth #postpunk #livemusic

It's amazing what brainwashing will do. It's also weird how so many poor people believe that most rich people actually care about them. They just dream that someday they'll acquire that wealth and thus buy into the trickle down BS.

Bryan Reesman @bryanreesman.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

So true. Or society does not encourage creative or critical thinking much. It's all about making money, and too much of a focus on that leads to lack of empathy, even for one's self. Everyone should have a creative outlet to express themselves, even if the rewards are not monetary.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I found my Ozzy interview from Inked in 2010. He gave me twice the time I needed and offered sincere answers. Yet while I understood him during the interview, I slowed my recorder to half speed to transcribe it. 😅 Only Ozzy could get away with that pull quote then. #ozzy #blacksabbath

Sadly, many people only develop empathy when something bad happens to them. Or they turn out to suffer the way they thought only the "bad people" would. It's twisted.
