Interior "papers please" checkpoints set up by federal agents w/ local police is just about as far from the principles of 1776 as you can get.

@moviesharkd I loved hearing Renny express his appreciation for Debbie's special dedication to her, and filmmakers', work!

Renny's kindness and love of his collaborators makes me a bigger fan of him.

@big_merg @briebriejoy Very likely true. But there's a reason this has not happened (or been allowed to happen) to date. We can't have another FDR, because FDR had the advantage of a U.S. economy on the rise. Today, the American empire is in terminal decline, as is global capitalism. That's the rub.

@briebriejoy @ContraPoints Society is past trying to figure out how to get Democrats to win. Democrats and Republicans are capitalism-defending twins, both sliding us with growing speed toward loss of democratic and even human rights, and WW3. No capitalist party deserves another moment in power.

[Jon Whitener @jon_whitener]

@briebriejoy Ms. Joy, your talents and expertise are wasted trying to understand, confront, or persuade liberals and Democrat-clinging progressives. In fact, I think you're wasting your skills focusing on electoral politics. The objective situation is beyond this. Interview @DavidNorthWSWS

Just pre-ordered Steve Kostanski's #Deathstalker! Been waiting for this one. https://t.co/tl7IiOUXuL

Absolutely loved #thetoxicavenger - Looking forward to seeing it again. Pure fun!

@LiquidDeath If Toxie says so! This sponsorship has put Liquid Death on my map.

@LovelyZena Did Crustalot costalot?

@BDisgusting @Troma_Team @lloydkaufman Toxie, of course, but #2 is Poultygeist!

[Jon Whitener @jon_whitener]

@BDisgustingpod Enjoying the show, guys, and I loved the @shelbybnovak bonus interview with Timothy Linh Bui! Great interview and can't wait to see his Daydreamers.

One more thing: you talked about horrible friends in horror movies. Zena, what about Stooge from Night of the Demons? What a jerk!

Albert Einstein (1879)-“Why Socialism?”: "Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands…The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society"

@LovelyZena I have been waiting and wondering!

Platoon, Candyman, The Crow, The Rock...I could go on but, why the fuck was Tony Todd left out of the Oscars in memoriam?

@WhiteHouse The American experiment in bourgeois democracy has terminated.

@PulpLibrarian Lotta hate here, but it's not that bad. Not great, but interesting and pretty well made.

[Jon Whitener @jon_whitener]

@weskandel @interesting_aIl It's not about Country A or Country B. "A race to the bottom on budgets" is the natural result of capitalism. If USA was the only country in Earth, same thing would happen, to forever increase profits for the owners, quality be damned.
