Biggest surprise of the year for me so far! (Keep in mind, I fully brought into @GriffLightning ‘ correct hype of Nirvana, so it wasn’t a surprise.) in the middle of all this celebration of original horror, don’t miss the most original film in the marketplace!

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

This gets to an issue articulated in a recent episode of blank check. People don’t want “Luke in the original trilogy“ they want him in STAR. WARS“(1977“), because he was them. So they hide behind the OT monitor, but they don’t really want the OT. They want this guy.

[Gentleman Doofus @GentleDoofus]

@GemOfAmara He cuts off Vader’s robot hand, and looks at his own robot hand, he’s dressed in all black, he’s about to strike him down in anger, his face was on Vader’s face in the cave in EMPIRE, do we need to draw a roadmap here?

these were all from last year

@NilesGApol Niles, this is nuts, I reserve the right to criticize GP if more stuff comes out, but what we’re dealing with here is both consistent with him being in a dark place before redemption and the work of a single political actor. You don’t have to do this.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

C the worst stuff alleged here is coming from a singular source, who is more a political actor than any accuser from either party in recent times
D it’s obvious the NYT has a horse in this race
Again, you can hate GP all you want, but pretending like this is a normal scandal is

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

Anyone can dislike GP, but it’s important to pair that with obvious context
A. The worst stuff alleged here is not close to Swalwell//BK Bill Bill Clinton, etc.
B the worst stuff alleged here is consistent with his characterization of being in a dark place before redemption 1/2

[Germain Lussier @GermainLussier]

Just saw news of another popular movie-themed content creator signing with a major agency.

Good for you. Get that $. I'm envious.

But also, I can't imagine doing any version of this job where you're like "I can afford to give a percentage to an agent, manager, & a publicist."

[silver fox @letterfoxd]

do not post a black and white photo of an 85 year old man omg

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

I think you’re taking the scandals at face value while I understand the impulse I think it’s a mistake

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

Elizabeth Warren is a major Platner backer but AOC is on the sidelines. The divide is generational. There's a lot of older women who have put up with scummy men their whole lives and tolerate the bro culture.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

Goddamnit, I was really looking forward to this because of Jonathan trooper, but the anti-actor just kills all anticipation

[Deadline @DEADLINE]

Henry Cavill has inked a deal to star alongside Kevin Hart in an untitled spy-action comedy that McG is directing for Netflix, Deadline can confirm.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

I don’t get what Mills is doing here. Run or don’t run! Everyone is worried about this race and desperate to win it, but her response throughout has just been to half-ass her way through it.

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

Swartzwelder really nailed it

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

The absolute best

[Daily Tatiana Maslany @SestraHulk]

Tatiana Maslany speaks out for Palestine while promoting her Apple TV show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed

“There is no ceasefire in Gaza. Israel is continuing to bombard it. The US & Canada & the UK are all complicit. We have to keep remembering Palestine.”

[AWelshGuy @prowelshguy]

There is a different horror movie these two should be working on right now

[Michael @Socdem_Michael]

A lot of the “election fraud!“ stuff that propagates online is just dumb conservatives either intentionally or unintentionally not understanding math/elections/statistics/etc.

These elections get called by experts who understand what vote is remaining, if it’s likely to be more favorable for Dems or Republicans, etc. And races are called when experts have like a 99.9% certainty of an outcome.

Based on the vote remaining and what we know about the composition of those votes, Becerra has a 99.9% likelihood of advancing (finishing top 2).

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

Actually a pretty shit poll for her lol

[woop @woop54]

Nolan is nowhere near interesting enough to have that in him

[Light House Cinema @LightHouseD7]

"Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT screens on 35MM at Light House this Saturday. Pre-booking is strongly advised.

[slurm @TheSlurmKing]

This would be freakin sweet. It can start with showing him hunt down his daughter as she sends a message to his former master that's protecting his son who then destroys his superweapon. In the second movie Vader and his son have a duel but instead of the good guy winning, Va..

[Natasha Korecki @natashakorecki]

Scoop: Gov. JB Pritzker to suspend tax breaks to data centers after legislature failed to act. Goes into effect July 1.

Also, he's calling for development reforms to be hashed out in the fall's veto session.
