My fiancé and I attended one of the 50th Anniversary screenings of ”The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

It still holds up. Goes against everything Trump Inc. believes in. Not a MAGA hat in the crowd.

Therefore… may I recommend the film as the official movie of the Trump administration?

Troll away…

Indian cinema addict here.

Among this year’s most commercially successful #Bollywood films, #Saiyaara is one of the damnedest cinematic romances I’ve seen. Now on Netflix, it certainly has its over the top moments and it’s not always realistic… but what works, works hard.

It’s about the message…

Garbage.

Though I live in the U.S., I recently received an EP credit on a film shot in Canada.

President Dipshit, for one you may want to consider working w/states to strengthen their tax incentive programs if you sincerely want to alleviate “runaway production.”

Thank you. The text reads:"There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state.
The other serves and protects the people.
When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

I’ve been on a self-imposed social media break while planning my upcoming wedding.

In the meantime, some memes are simply too truthful to ignore…

Now that we know the shooter came from a Mormon family, will the right declare a Civil War on Mormons?

Trump is expressing betrayal by Putin. See the below image for why.

He then calls demands for the release of the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax.“

Inflation is increasing and stocks are wobbly.

With apologies to Charlie Sheen, this is “winning?“

I was asked, based on an earlier Facebook post of mine today, what I think would have happened if Trump indeed had died per this weekend’s social media rumor mongering.

My response?

1. An indefinable period of global instability.
2. A record number of worldwide births nine months later.
