White people have a kind of intra-white respectability politics about the level of racism that's considered permissible in polite company and I think a lot of polite racists are mad the gutter racists are tarnishing their good name.

I don't care for any kinda racist but I love myself, so. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Trumps head of operations for the war being waged in Chicago is openly trying to channel the supposedly masculine imagery of the Nazis

Make no mistake these domestic enemies waging war against the states are Nazis.

Bovino is really trying to sell its aesthetic now.

I just want to know what monkey’s paw she got hold of in the 90s to make her and ageless beauty who grew beyond Cat III films into an astounding actress.

Angelica Lee and Shu Qi - both stars of The Eye and The Eye 2 play grieving moms in a new supernatural thriller show on Netflix.

Its pilot bums me out with how juiceless it is and how underutilized its two leads are. Maybe it gets better?

(UK) “It’s really bad, I won’t lie to you” is what the pharmacist told me as she had to deny me the covid vaccine. I got the flu one, no problem. A 74 year old got denied bcs he isn’t 75, so he said he’ll do it next year bcs he cannot afford to pay for private. It’s really bad. 1/4

“Pagan Poetry” is a weird (perfect) song! Both of those are excellent picks.

It’s been framed more… indirectly. “We don’t want to make them (marginalized identity) without a good reason.”

Which usually equates to, “I can’t imagine anyone but a white guy in this set of circumstances”

Happy 44th Anniversary to the most boring movie on the fucking planet, MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. Gene and Roger raved about it on S&E, making it a must-see for young Odie. BIG MISTAKE! I revisited it for NYFF back in 2018, and wrote about how it was a sign from Roger.

That IS a tricky dynamic. And there’s really no “median player” regardless of your target audience.

It’s both an art and science.

“Design has story notes…”

“We didn’t record that?”

“…like Save the Cat!”

“We didn’t document that.”

“[First name of lead creative] doesn’t like reading.”

“…Our own Baby Groot!”

“Why’s this character [Black/female/queer]?”

“I skip the story…”

“Horror games don’t sell!”
