  1. we didn't know we were all exactly the same as your average 1930s German citizen, but we do now.
  2. good lord ๐Ÿคฃ you know, i have to exert a not insignificant amount of energy daily to keep myself from this right now.. but that^ is honestly a natural human reaction to all that is happening, and i try to process and release daily, through various means/activities, with mostly success...serenity prayer and all that. but i cannot even imagine the amount of internal effort it's taking people (including a good portion of our posters *waves to DT* lol) to maintain this instead... like...the insanity, mendacity and cruelty is so ubiquitous! at this point it has to be incredibly difficult to continue to pretend it's just not happening, or that this is all fine, or that yes, this is what they want...i sincerely hope the dissonance manifests itself in creative and insidious ways, i love that for them ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜„ at least most cults do implode eventually, usually very destructively...
  3. i still think he's going to try to revoke John Oliver's US citizenship.
  4. hmmm ๐Ÿค” i do want to see it but it sounds like it can wait for home viewing. not reading anybody spoilers, but i figured it was going to be kind of...discombobulating. we saw in quick succession JP (terrible), Superman (entertaining), and F1 (thrilling). there are more upcoming releases better for theater viewing.
  5. i rarely check this thread bc they're ineffective and depressing and generally the democratic party just pisses me off...but gotdamn Gavin may just edge out Pete for me if he keeps it up. using the language that is needed...'fascist cuck' is poetry ๐Ÿ˜†
  6. i know you guys all think she's hot... but she has the same stupid pouty fishmouth as her dad and brothers.
  7. https://www.wlwt.com/article/protest-ayman-soliman-ice-cincinnati-arrests-roebling/65442510 im doubtful that staying out of the road would have changed the response much, but maybe. stay out of the road. they were protesting the detention of a chaplain. one officer is on admin leave pending investigation ๐Ÿ™„ i had to go find the story bc honestly that video is so insane i was half convinced it was AI. we are so fucked lol.
  8. i feel like this is going to be one of those that should be satire but will be uncomfortable because it's actually a little too on the nose now. like Veep became lol
  9. i can suggest Rocky River Ranch in Wimberley if a completely secular option is preferred. not nearly as exclusive, but the camp grounds are adorable and all the bunk houses are on a bluff well above the river, they suffered minimal damage in 2015. RRR was the highlight of niece's summer for 12 years ๐Ÿ™‚
  10. didn't they film actual races and then like 'insert' the APX car footage on somehow, i think...i dunno, but that was fun! ๐Ÿ‘ cinematography and sound accolades coming their way. but holy crap was it Bruckheimer-y ๐Ÿ˜† Pitt does seem to be kind of phoning it in lately...but he's still charisma and coolness poured into a very nice package ๐Ÿ˜› Shea Whigham continues to be the most ubiquitous man in Hollywood lol previews: Leo and PTA...can't wait. The Smashing Machine is Oscar bait for The Rock. and The Odyssey is gonna have quite the build-up to live up to! ๐Ÿคจ Eddington opens tomorrow, it's next on the list. A24 just doesn't seem to miss!
  11. to be clear, that's for the CVI.
  12. i did not know that there was a different ending originally, with Alex killing herself rather than attacking Beth, but it didn't test well. Glenn Close preferred that ending bc she felt it better reflected Alex's struggle with mental illness, which runs in her family and is a cause near to her heart. in hindsight she actually regrets how Alex was portrayed, although she acknowledges it made a good movie. and i know all that because gotdamn Fatal Attraction was on gotdamn Turner Classic Movies and a gotdamn old lady told me all about it in her gotdamn NPR voice post-credits. i have gotten old without realizing it.
  13. the left has 'hit paydirt'?? fucking moron ๐Ÿ™„
