I will buy the Empty Man on whatever format it's released. Blu ray, DVD, Laserdisc, Selectavision... however they wanna sell it, I'll buy it.

I think it's because he seems to have noticed his pervy poem was kinda naked lady-shaped after he wrote it, THEN he added the silhouette.

There's literally a Love Boat episode from 1982 about a guy accepting his friend who's had gender reassignment surgery. The Jeffersons had one in 1977. This was on network TV over 40 years ago! And yet a huge swath of Boomers are out here like "p-p-p-pronouns???"

About two weeks into our relationship my wife and I found out to our joy that we could both quote the MST3K movie almost in its entirety. Fifteen years later and we're still constantly describing things as "just like your Earth insects... larger, of course" and shouting "NORMAL VIEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"

I’m not above being amused by my governor’s anti-Trump antics. Hell, I even think they’re a vital component of resistance at this moment and sorely needed. But I would rather shove a fragile lightbulb up my own ass than cast another vote for this dead-eyed psychopath.

I didn't know shit from shineola when I was making my first short, and my DP Tyler Russell impressed upon me that the number one question re: where to put the camera was "who are we identifying with?" I think that's a bit reductive now but also you could do worse as north stars go.

Today's a great day to revisit the direct metal injection of the first Black Sabbath record. It's so TO THE POINT. No production tricks or metal histrionics, just some working-class Birmingham kids who wanted to show you how badass a power chord sounded through this rig they'd put together.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

I've always found this the most emotionally and thematically resonant interpretation of the ending. The movie's about trust and paranoia, and in the end these two men are unable to trust each other, so they're doomed.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

I used to read Yarvin back in college (so 2004 or so) because his monarchism and defenses of overt colonialism were novel in such an aggressively neolib environment. Also because I was 19 and my brain hadn't fully formed. Novelty and intelligence aren't the same thing. Leave him in the dustbin.

The idea that advocating for the most vulnerable among us should be subject to poll-testing and equivocation is vile. What's more, it's the kind of thinking that's led to Democrats being seen as as mealy-mouthed vote-chasers, not actual leaders. Fuck this shit & fuck the consultants that peddle it.
