I have friends and family here in Canada who have 'mixed' Indigenous backgrounds who can easily pass as 'white' but have their rez cards.

What about trans people who 'pass?' Are you examining someone's gentials 'at a glance?' There are also trans women who had bottom surgery which would make it even more difficult.

I'd love to hear how Flannery O'Connor, the most ruthless, violent and blackly comic writer I've ever read, fits into this paradigm.

I knew Laith long ago when I worked in community radio in Canada. At first I thought we was a well meaning radical but then he became obsessed with a Jewish member who was a friend of mine and his rabid antisemitism became undeniable.

One hundred percent agree. It's just not that the full film vocabulary is pretty much in place but the sensibility of 30s+ films and their characters is fully modern. They are us.

I found the ending of Thinner even sadder. Guy destroys the only person he loves due to his misogyny and narcissism. He's learned nothing and someone else he loves pays for it.

Rage is also not a very good novel. Maybe King's worse. I read it as a kid in the Bachman books compilation and to me even at that age it was clearly the weakest of that collection.

Fun movie. Lizabeth Scott does not pass as what I believe is supposed to a teen in this film. Like Bacall she projects the strength of a much older woman.

A great intro to exploitation films. The immortal script by former child actor Jack Moran is an all-timer.

Landis is a horrible person but this is close to a perfect horror comedy. He was never this good again.

Like a lot of Fassbinder the influence of Sirk isn't just in the melodramatic structure but the moral ambiguity of the story itself.

These losers are used to playing a Nazi online and getting cheers from online chuds and bots. RL is a different game.

Telling that the Russians did much the same to the Muslims in Chechnya as Israel has done in Gaza and the US far left did not give a shit.

Paramount's streaming channel movie-wise is dominated by modern, mediocre action films. That may be the future.

Same thing when Steve Bannon praised Julius Evola in a speech: a fascist occultist who thought the Italian fascists weren't racist enough so he tried to suck up to Nazis in Germany. Also a figurehead for fascist terrorists in 70s Italy who blew up a train.

In Canada the prairie provinces don't have as many national parks but they've got some.
