The thing was, it was the studio's 1990 attempt to recapture the BATMAN mega-hit of the year before. They did the same midnight opening, and had all kinds of lavish gimmicks; everyone who went to a midnight open got a T-shirt, etc, but it was an astroturfed "success."
Rewatched SWINGERS. Holy fuck, did I hate it when it came out; "Finally, a movie for douchebags."
I still feel that way, but man, I miss movies shot on film. It wasn't a fantastic looking film of its day, but even a 6.5 out of 10 in 1996 now blows all digital out of the water.
Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎
Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."
GO AHEAD, BE MEAN AND CALL ME A FASCIST BOOT-LICKER, GO FOLLOW SOMEONE WHO NEEDS APPROVAL FROM THOUGHT POLICE WHO SAY LICKING FASCIST BOOTS IS BAD! I TAKE IT AS A COMPLIMENT!
How much of a sneering, weak, ineffectual fucking dweeb must you be for friggin' GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOUS to have no time for your shit and make you his absolute bitch?
It's weird how "St." is conditional in meaning if it's before or after a name. Before, it is "Saint," after, it is "Street." Listen to the reading-voice in your head looking at these exact same words, in different order:
Co-op, seems like, like Demeo, but with D&D classes and a more persistent leveling & power-up system & I think more of a kind of "story-line-ish" play through of the modules. youtu.be/uwVBRE_OWHM?...
Billionaires are nerdy dudes who are essentially NOT VERY SMART; they are not well read, but have read pop picture-book authors like Moore who are. He doesn't know about the things he "knows" about,but thinks his fucked up takes are *mind blowingly brilliant.* It's all Otto-from-FISH-CALLED-WANDA.
No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that. Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.
the way they hate us, and how less than human they count us as, is just so much a given to them that they're genuinely *offended* when someone they ally with reminds them that that's not normal or good. They assume they must be lying because they "have to." They get mad at AOC in the same way.
