ENZO 📽️ is about a teenage boy with a crush, a crush which is not quite sexual though it kind of is, and I liked how it handled its issues of privilege and maturity pretty well movieswetextedabout.com/enzo-review-...
'Enzo' Review - A Likeable Little Movie
Enzo (Eloy Pohu) is sixteen or seventeen, a dangerous age. He’s still very much a child, but thinks he isn’t. Having a scooter and some limited amounts of freedom isn’t quite adulthood, but he is too ...

'Blue Moon' Film Review - Richard Linklater's Latest is Worth Watching More Than Once
This could have been a play and may well get a second life as a play, because its single set, very talky script and clever staging keep us in the room for the 100-minute runtime. It is heavily inspire...

Trailers before BAAHUBALI: THE EPIC:
The Bosco Leroy Biopic
Kaantha
120 Bahadur (looks like one hell of a war movie)
The one where the rival enters doing the splits between two cars, which only JCVD or Buster Keaton could ever have done in the West

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

If you were a visitor from a distant land and had to understand the purpose of the democratic party elite from only their actions not their words, what would you say their function is? I think this is an important question to understand our situation clearly.

Middle Aged Men are difficult to think of gifts for- it is why there are so many jokes about just getting them socks.
But even Middle Aged Men have gift dreams- even if they don’t know what they are themselves.

Not that anyone asked, but my favourite restaurant anywhere in the world was Air Transport Command, a World War Two-themed restaurant in New Castle, Delaware. At every table there were headsets that let you listen to the control tower of the nearby airport and the beer cheese soup changed my life
