This is actually kind of shocking. Kier always seemed more eternal concept or vibe than mere man. Sorry to see him go. RIP.
RIP Udo Kier (1944-2025), a German character actor with a prolific and eclectic career (My Own Private Idaho, Blade, Ace Ventura, Dancer in the Dark, Grindhouse, Suspiria, Dogville...)

In sci-fi: Johnny Mnemonic, Melancholia, Armageddon, Dracula 3000, Metropia, Iron Sky, Downsizing, Seaquest DSV...

I saw this movie at way too young an age. It was awesome.
Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love... 🎥🖤

This is my kind of soap opera.

I used to sing this to myself all the time, it's just really catchy.

I loved this movie as teen. Classic screwball comedy gold.

Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd in pure sci fi cheese with a bit more heart and point than necessary.

Directed by Gene Wilder. Starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, with Dom DeLuise. It's dumb, it's fun. It is criminally overlooked.

Don't really have one, but I'm not going to miss this chance to shout out the Incomparable Madeline Kahn. The "i" is capitalized because that's her full title.

Nothing rivets teens struggling through a Russian class more than a movie about the last few days of a man about to be purged by Stalin.

Imagine asshole American teens in a high school Russian class watching a late era Soviet movie about bullying. Still, it made an impression.

Got pretty sick, think it was the flu, and it turns out that I'm one of the unlucky few for whom NyQuil has the exact opposite effect than intended. Heightened agitation, increased axiety, and body breaking insomnia. Still pretty wrecked by it. That hateful shit shouldn't be sold over the counter.

If they thought they were going to get a more conservative readership then they forgot one simple irrefutable fact. Conservatives can't read.

I take some small confort in this on the grounds that these men are not brave. They wouldn't be voicing their new found discomfort in even the weakest of terms if they didn't feel the groundswell of their audiences and the general population turning against the fascists.
“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Just for reference, it's been estimated that the Great Depression whiped out about 30% of the U.S. GDP. I'm sure it's not relevant.
"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."
America is now one big bet on AI
It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

Using so many words when a simple 'coward' will do.
Jimmy Fallon says ‘The Tonight Show’ has “never really been political” and he plans to “keep [his] head down” amid disruptions caused to his peers’ shows.
