Opening weekend, take two: Slate Belt theater marks milestone with special double-bill 623 and counting. That's how many different films have graced the big screen at the Gap Theatre since its grand reopening a year ago.

35mm is thriving in Pennsylvania. @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

Trump getting elected showed us the true face of the tech oligarchs.

They did not hesitate for a single second to exchange democracy for deregulation.

Selling out your own country for corporate greed is absolutely traitorous

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

Thinking about Rob Reiner quite a bit these days. Especially how he had incredible instincts for what not to show, how to imply things so you don't have to explain them, when to show violence and when to show the reaction instead.

I wish Rob Reiner were still alive for all sorts of reasons, but here's one more:

Trump us a family annihilator capable of tearing the whole globe down with him. It is the total fantasy of patriarchal defeatism. At the end of your life get all your property buried alive beside you

Somewhere, a Texas Republican party bigwig is on Signal chat with other bigwigs asking, "Do we know any halfway competent replacements for Gonzalez who are willing to walk into a buzzsaw?"

I suffer from the same condition. I also have 180 Degree Syndrome: no matter whether I choose a good exit or not, I always walk a block in the wrong direction before correcting course.

I appreciate your perspective here and feel that your points are well-considered and salient about the director and the adaptation.

We need bolder, messier, more provocative art not so we can argue more (tho’ surely we will) but so we can be challenged to push past our biases and see with new eyes.
