@mbateman @MrDanielBuck I think R&J might be Bill’s most misunderstood play.

Under 90 minutes or over 200. Those are the acceptable movie runtimes.

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

The important question here, though, is “why is the movie long?” https://t.co/jeBr72JkhL

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

Is it long because the director needs room to thoroughly explore the visual and auditory possibilities of this story and situation? Bring on those butt-numbing runtimes.

Is it long because it ends with an artless 30-minute CGI fight scene? Burn it in hell.

@MrRudeyHolla @MrDanielBuck 1. I have never seen this happen.

2. If it did, it would be weird enough that I would talk with the student to find out what happened and we’d work out a solution.

3. If they did the math and decided not to do it, then they get the grade for not doing it. Which is 0.

@datavortex @mcmoynihan …was this ever in question?

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

Y’all have to listen to THE DEBUTANTE on Audible. This is a WILD ride.

@glukianoff @KillerMike Do the rest of us ever get to see this speech or are y’all going to keep Killer Mike all to yourselves?

And I will never forgive the line “I believe it’s afternoon in the Sol system.”

Good effing riddance to STAR TREK PICARD. What a complete turkey of a show.

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

Seasons 1 and 2 were unwatchable nonsense. Season 3 is better, but it’s still substituting emotionally manipulative nostalgia bait for good storytelling.

Eleanor Audley, Lady Tremaine AND Maleficent.

What voice actor crushed a role so hard that nobody else will be able to live up to it?

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

Without government, who would throw people in prison for being inconvenient to them?

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

This is Crosley Green.

After being wrongfully imprisoned for 30 years, 19 of them on death row, his conviction was overturned and he was set free.

He's now been ordered to go back to prison, for the crime he didn't commit.

I’ve defended DeSantis for things like his approach to disaster management, but this is psychotic.

[Scott Gustin @ScottGustin]

DeSantis openly speculating about what the state could build next to Walt Disney World:

“Someone even said, maybe you need another state prison…”

What a great name for a band.

🚨 State Rep. Richard Holtorf, R-Akron, just referred to marijuana as the "devil's lettuce" on the Colorado House floor. 🚨

Let’s take a look back at last year’s Playoffs, a 🧵 (The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, by Caravaggio, 1602, NBA Finals Game 6)

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

Look, I get it. I love stupid emotionally manipulative things sometimes too. But if you’re being paid to be a critic, you need to be a damn critic.

[Mandy L. Albert @mandylalbert]

This season of STAR TREK PICARD is insulting garbage, but that’s what they’re going to keep making when the people who get paid to write TV criticism keep lapping it up because OMG GEORDI AND DATA AND WORF AND THE ENTERPRISE DEEEEEE 😻😻😻
