Lolololol and what infinitesimal percentage of a penny do those workers make off of a single movie ticket?

You know, at the theaters that have to charge $15 for popcorn just to stay open?

Congratulations! You just defended trickle-down profits.

Congratulations on twisting my actual point into something even Cirque du Soleil couldn't pull off.

Might wanna rethink that hammer and sickle, comrade.

They won't conclude that because they don't *want* to conclude that. Doing so would be an affront to their privilege and require genuine change on their part.

And God forbid they be inconvenienced in any way whatsoever.

Pirating a movie/show from a multi-billion dollar studio ≠ pirating a book from an author making the equivalent of minimum wage or less.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

If that's what conservatives voted for, then it should only apply to them. Provide evidence of your political affiliation when you sign up for insurance.

I'm tired of them knocking holes in the ship so we all sink.

Let the motherfuckers drown.

Prometheus was fantastic.

The people who hated it are the same ones in every fandom who demand something new and then bitch nonstop about it when it isn't exactly the same as what they grew up with.

I'm okay with not spending my money on Things. Been quite liberating, actually.

His writing makes me jump over to my laptop to write as soon as I'm done watching whatever it is.

My muse tries to capture even a little spark of that inspiration.

And cutting off Nearer My God To Thee midsentence like that?!?!

JeeeeeeZUS.

I sat in shock for a good hour & a half when it ended.

Supremely incredible work from Flanagan. Netflix fucked up letting him go (but the idea of him getting to do Stephen King's Dark Tower makes me as rabid as Cujo).

Didn't think I'd cry harder than Nell's speech at the end of The Haunting of Hill House.

Then I didn't think I'd cry harder than Jamie's monologue at the end of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Then came the entirety of Midnight Mass. Riley's entire story and both of Erin's speeches destroyed me. 😭😭😭
