28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the franchise's most nauseating and most hopeful, a film whose seeming contradictions act as its beating heart. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell are exceptional. Full review of @28yearslater.bsky.social for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/28-years-lat...

A Useful Ghost Review: Thai Anti-Capitalist Surrealist Fantasy Comedy-Drama With Possessed Vacuum Cleaners Will Break Your Heart

RIP to Béla Tarr - watching all 7+ hours of Sátántangó during lockdown is a seminal memory - the Hungarian slow cinema pioneer’s work still feels like the most accurate depiction of the bleak powerlessness of everyday people. An extraordinary singular artist.

Same playbook used on the genocide in Gaza--throw up a smokescreen of conflicting claims and hairsplitting so the audience is comforted by their own ambivalence to other people's suffering. Every item in this is pointless if you know that torture and rape are wrong, period.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison
