A) Skill issue, way to tell on yourself about who you're following.
B) The "take everything literally and in bad faith while screaming about a GOTDAM ORNGE CHEETOE" shit is 100% imported from Twitter and Facebook "joined Nov 24" users.

Warner Archives is holding on to Robin Hood tight. They just did a BluRay from a transfer last year.

My wish is that one or more of the leadership team has a Kony 2012 style crash out (public psychotic episode followed by revelations that the org was funded by American evangelicals and was cover for an intelligence gathering op)

My ★★★ review of Carry On Doctor on Letterboxd boxd.it/bnmyVp

A ★★★ review of Carry On Doctor (1967)

Pleasant but low stakes, and these have gone on so long they're lampshading that this is darn close to a remake of CARRY ON NURSE, which is a choice.

Hattie Jaques is being so mean to Jim Dale in this Carry On, and I'm so conflicted.

I mean...it's a lesbian, her bisexual (?) ex, and the guy the ex is being friend-zoned by who is really into the lesbian, and it pretty much gets dozens of people brutally eaten by Templar mummies...

My ★★★ review of Tombs of the Blind Dead on Letterboxd boxd.it/bngOF1

A ★★★ review of Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

It's so goddamn slow and so sexually creepy but everything about the actual monsters is so unsettling and evocative.

I should be packing but instead I'm watching TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD.
I forget how sloooooow this is, and that's counting the lesbian relationship drama that's supposed to be so scandalously compelling.

My ★★★★★ review of The Legend of Hell House on Letterboxd boxd.it/bndgPZ

A ★★★★★ review of The Legend of Hell House (1973)

Perfect atmosphere, perfect sound, genuinely unsettling. McDowell is superlative in this. Easily amongst the best haunted house films ever.

I should note that I do not believe "the cartels" are doing any such thing I believe the United States government is all liars

There is credible intelligence that members of Mexican drug cartels have offered a "tiered" bounty system for hits against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The inability of Democrats to gracefully retire and back younger candidates is a big part of how we got here.

Guy whose biggest successes are "what if Superman was Spider-Man" and "maybe man is the real monster v267" really doesn't have anything worthwhile to add to the conversation.

Valeria has been known to run around in full Doom armor
I think Reed and Sue are just unflappable as parents, unless you imply their kid is a mutant
