Twenty-seven years ago today I was driving through Ireland while listening to alternating radio reports about a snooker tournament and the Columbine killings. I have never before or since been so disoriented and horrified at the same time.

Horrible. Just horrible. It's been a long time since I was in Shreveport -- and an even longer time since I worked there -- but this still hits hard for me.

Blast from the Past: My original 1999 review of the Martin Scorsese/Paul Schrader classic "Bringing Out the Dead." As a former welfare worker, I found this movie occasionally brought back discomforting memories

Blast from the past: My original 1986 review of Michael Mann's "Manhunter." (Yes, they spelled Hannibal Lector as "Lektor" in this one.) www.movingpictureshow.com?p=9338
A blast from the past: My 1990 review of George Armitage's "Miami Blues" with Alec Baldwin, Fred Ward, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

To paraphrase 10 CC:
He's gone! I'm joining all of my crowd!
He's gone! Gone! Gone! We're celebrating real loud!
He's gone! So glad that bastard's gone!

Would not be surprised.
What will Trump say about Orban tomorrow? "I like dictators who don't concede".
Orban has lost. What a great day! (Unlike some sundowning clowns we know, he has admitted he lost, too.)
I don’t like Melanie Trump, right, but her being Slovenian has nothing to do with why she’s awful and I feel like people are weirdly leaning in to xenophobia when they talk about her, for basically no reason
So they should start fucking?
Don’t let this explosive story disappear.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Let’s keep this front and center EVERY DAY.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about my favorite Arthur Miller play, "The Price." Especially these 2 lines:
“You specialize in something until one day you find it is specializing in you.”
“We invent ourselves, Vic, to wipe out what we know.”
Thinking about James Garner and one of my all-time favorite interviews on the late, great actor's birthday.

You knew this was coming, right?
Good Night, Blue Sky.
Badass Attorney General Letitia James still has her job.
I almost feel sorry for Bondi. Almost.
Trying (and failing) to look cool in the early 1970s while at Louisiana State University in New Orleans (now University of New Orleans).
X-post
Michael Steele, the first African American chairman of the RNC, tells tRump that he’s “a vile, disgusting man, petty and pathetic.”
Lots of good stuff like that. Maybe this will be the last straw?

Fuck trump. Wait till HE dies.....oh, it will be glorious!
Sending out a serious question to the group: What do you think is the best antivirus program?
Not trying to be judgmental here, but does a new horror film open nationally every damn weekend? Look, I am old enough to remember when spy movies were sometimes playing in at least half the downtown New Orleans theaters. But geez…
WE ARE FUCKING BEYOND ANGRY‼️
If you're not angry, you're not paying attention‼️
“Hugo” is the only Scorsese movie that has ever made me cry. Not say it’s his best film. But it touched me deeply.
