Feel like watching ROME, OPEN CITY about now.

She definitely wins best actress.

Oscars prediction: PTA wins best director; Sinners wins best picture. Both films win for their screenplays.

No congress, no constitution, and a king.

What a way to celebrate 250 years.

That aged well.

All correct takes.

Would be really nice if anyone donated.

Boosting for the evening crowd.

I wrote a play, and it's getting produced! I will need help covering expenses though. It would mean so much to me if you could chip in a couple dollars to make this possible.

Yeah, it's too sick even to make fun of them

The pregnant women detained and abused by ICE would like a word about that alleged pro-birthness.

Learning this more and more.

MAGA believes adults can kill their own children because *checks notes* they're so pro-life.

As more family members and former friends reject me, because addressing me as Evalyn and acknowledging I'm queer goes against their moral beliefs, yet at the same time can rationalize supporting a child rapist and his murder of citizens, I have to ask, how did they confuse bigotry for morality?

Truly sickened by the newest information from the Epstein files.

ICE is a terrorist organization, and I don't have the patience or peace of mind to hold space for people in my life who disagree.

If Ryan Coogler wins best director for Sinners, he'd be the first Black person to win best director. FYI

Wicked: For Good (2025) Or, How One White Liberal Saves Society

Batman Returns (1992) The first (brief) review I wrote of Batman Returns began as follows: “Everything about this film can be explained by simply remembering this is not Batman film, it is not a superhero film, it is a Tim...

When your government is quoting the Nazis and the KKK, that should be a clue to most people that your country is now one of the bad guys.

This is, not to put too fine a point on it, complete and utter bullshit.

It was delightful visits in which nothing happens, and so many family dynamics play out.

ICE is a terrorist organization as evil as the KKK, Isis, or the Gestapo. They are doing exactly what they were trained to do. Abolish and prosecute everyone who worked for them.

In other news, bold choice making Glinda, not Elphaba, the protagonist for Wicked: For Good.

A cutesy PG tale of fascism where all ICE, I mean Wizard, victims have their lives fully restored because one white liberal abruptly becomes progressive really doesn't hit that great this week.

So here’s the order of events:

Renee Good: “I’m not mad at you.”

*ICE officer shoots her in the face*

ICE officer: “F**king b*tch”

Trump: “It’s a miracle he’s alive”

Vance: “She was a domestic terrorist.”

Ten films that most describe America's current government:

1) Salo, 120 Days of Sodom
2) Triumph of the Will
3) Birth of a Nation
4) Dancer in the Dark
5) A Rainy Day in New York
6) Poor Things
7) Martyrs
8) Hard to Be a God
9) The Book of Henry
10) Cats

I recommend 0 of these films.

This is also who will have my vote in 2028.

In case it needed to be repeated: ICE is a terrorist organization, and anyone who defends them will be swiftly blocked.
