Here is the trailer for Women Wearing Shoulder Pads again because I just figured out how to post it directly on here.

Maybe the old guard Democratic establishment should stop throwing their weight behind candidates that voters keep saying they don’t want?
Just an idea

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

That one person can drag us into a war — without consulting or even notifying Congress, our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary— is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Danny Boyle would not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" today because of "cultural appropriation" and "I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it."
“We wouldn’t be able to make that now. And that’s how it should be. It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world... At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We’d work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you’re still an outsider. It’s still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be. I mean, I’m proud of the film, but you wouldn’t even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn’t even get financed. Even if I was involved, I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.”

why is it so hard for Americans to understand that it is better for things to be good for more people

LA is Hollywood. It’s supposed to be THE place for movies and television. They need to do everything they can to bring the industry back. It shouldn’t be cheaper for studios to fly 100 people to Ireland than drive 5 miles to the Paramount lot.

When the “family business” comes with fine print. 😅 What could go wrong?
Deli Boys is now streaming on @hulu.
maureen bharoocha retweeted
Deli Boys emerges as a highlight of this young year, layering an engaging criminal caper on top of a comedy about the Pakistani immigrant experience. Its blend of silliness and specificity is a winning combo, and Poorna Jagannathan steals the show.

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed?
