I didn't love this movie as much as I wanted to, but I have to admit that makes me the guy pointing at the literal coolest thing ever and saying "this sucks, actually"

Sharon Stone is still taking over the @trylon.org with THE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995)!
This zany Western is as divisive for us as it was for audiences 30 years ago, when its reception killed Lance Henriksen's dreams for a sequel. 🔫🃏♠️

What separates BASIC INSTINCT (1992) from other erotic thrillers?
How is it so good at both drawing you in... and kinda terrifying you?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.
