Old fella 1: it's easier to pass through the Strait of Hormuz than these aisles!

Old fella 2: you don't get shot here though.

Old fella 1: not yet anyway.

My wife says this photo is missing Benoit Blanc

The editing while Kate Seigel talks should be taught in film schools. The way it illuminates what she’s saying, stays with the tone she’s conveying, and drives home the entire reason for the doc to exist, is something every doc can only hope to have to opportunity to present the audience with.

Whoever gave the green light to cutting off all those speeches needs to be fired into the sun #oscars

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

So the Oscar for Best Sound definitely isn't going to the #Oscars after that debacle

New Haute and Freddy absolutely slaps. It's perfect for my Kath Day-Knight inspired dad dancing.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

This is how you live a life

I just keep thinking of all those in Australia who've had friends and family massacred by Israel, including volunteers like Zomi Frankcom - to see Herzog, the political symbol of Israel's racist violence, genocidal hatred and apartheid - paraded and feted by Australia's political class.
