@c0mmunicants I can't remember not being interested in film, so my best guess is either the first movie I ever saw, (I think a Pinocchio rerelease?) or my first trip to Hollywood as a child.
@JudiciaryGOP Literally the first thing any older NYer brings up about how the city has changed is how sanitized and Disney-fied Times Square has become. There's a lot to complain about the direction this city has taken, but crime isn't it. We have 20x too many cops and the rent is too high.
@disobedientgay Yeah Luca Guadagnino makes a lot of interesting choices deserving of praise, but also plenty that are pretty baffling. Still think about that shot in A Bigger Splash that pulls out to a wide from a CU of Ralph Fiennes's open mouth.
@arvofart Not an actual bid, but I just rewatched Up In the Air for the first time since theaters, and for a movie I remembered as a lot of good vibes, I forgot (probably bc I was 20 then) how bleak the whole side about layoffs was. So if there's a movie all about mass layoffs, that one.
@silentmoviegifs Could have sworn it was this very account that once shared a *pre-film* animation with this gag and claimed that was the origin of it...
@kelly_knox Movie was a mess but the marketing team did a hell of a job convincing us it would be great. Between this poster and that very first trailer, there was no reason to expect anything less.
I can't think of a more perfect illustration of how broken American democracy is, than the fact that for the first time ever it's basically 100% certain who both parties' nominees are before the first primary, even though they're two of the most unpopular candidates in history.
@Eldon_Katz It really feels like this would be the year that a few really bold third party candidates would shoot their shot, but all I've heard is exactly one person mention RFK Jr.
