Let me guess. She heard you write about movies, and Sound of Freedom is the only movie she went to see in the last year or so.

*Tracy, duh

Zach Malm @muzach.bsky.social · 1d

Dick Tracey. Shot by Vittorio Storaro, and full of great matte paintings. Rewatching it as an adult was a revelation. For my money, it's still the best-looking comics-based film.

and it looks phenomenal. they have basically outlawed this amount of color in movies these days.

It sure does have a vision! The cinematographer was Vittorio Storaro, a first ballot hall of famer even if the only movie he ever shot was The Conformist.

He's so preoccupied with mortality and salvation, he's sounding like a Spiritualized song.

I believe I'm damaged
I believe that I'm wrong

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 2d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

It's not just their view of the world. It's their view of the spiritual world and the afterlife.

Their Christianity is authoritarian, retributive, patriarchal, & violent. They have made an idol out of authoritarianism and believe that is how their entire world should be organized.

We are ruled by ancient dying sex offenders doing one last scam before they go, as if they're willing the world to end with them. At least we can outlive them, but that energy hangs heavy in the air.

This episode is also a great roundup of much of the vital work DL and Krispin have been doing for the last year or so at STRONGWILLED, so if you haven't checked it out yet, or maybe have friends/family you want to share with, this is a great place to start.

It's only 4 hours - that's an hour less than tonight's game! And it truly is a fascinating, remarkable documentary of this bonkers, cursed, beautiful franchise.

Every Mariners fan is allowed to be insufferable if our team is finally no longer the only team to have never played in a World Series. And if they actually win it? I'm going to get out in front and apologize in advance just in case. We are not equipped to handle baseball joy.

I can't wait to head down to Eagle Hardware and buy the VHS tape celebrating this magical season. That's what teams do when they get this far, right? I forget, it's been a while. #goms #mariners

The radio broadcast just said "You will never watch a game like this for the rest of your life!!" and that's because we'll be watching this game for the rest of our lives. This was always the danger of the Etsy witch. We were just loving the wins, but did not know the deeper magic.
