  1. Do the Rebubs adopt their "unity" sound bite from the same place they adopted their "deep state", "fake news" and "Rosa Parks" references?   Cambridge Analytica inputs?

    Ted Cruz seems like pure evil.

    Are we fools for even paying attention to their malarkey? 

    The likes of Little Marco, Moscow Mitch, and LintzeeBelle Graham have proven their disingenuous nature too often. 

    As far as their band of insurrectionists.....

    That's right.  Lock'em up

  2. I'm like a lot of people that lost interest in The Walking Dead soon after Steven Yeun's character Glenn Rhee was killed off.   Glenn was a key original character.  The writers should have done better.  He's awesome.

    But this post is about an award winning movie he stars in, Minari, which will hit theaters in February and will stream at some point. 

    Looks great!  (It's an American film.)

    I saw Pieces of a Woman at the Venice Film Festival last September. I saw it again last night on Netflix with subtitles on. It's a depressing movie, for sure, but there is so much talent at work on this production, I had to give it another shot.

    Vanessa Kirby is amazing in this performance. I can't imagine what it takes for an actor to reach this level of commitment. The same is true for Shia LaBeouf. I'll never forget the first time I met Shia. He delivered an unforgettable impact. His film Honey Boy is an incredible look into his very painful, personal past. He certainly has issues, but my god, what a talent this guy is.

    In Pieces of a Woman, Shia exposes his small cock (and pretty ass) to the world. Not many actors in Hollywood would dare to have the guts that Shia has. I love Shia's bravery. I find courage and vulnerability incredibly sexy.

    Martin Scorcese is executive producer. Ellen Burstyn and Molly Parker are superb, as well.

    I would post a screenshot of Shia's sexy junk, but it seems those days may be gone for now.

    I watched Honey Boy because Wes Anderson mentioned it was good.

    I appreciate all the performances but had a hard time enjoying the film.  

    Perhaps one has to be in a certain frame of mind.

  4. So yeah, it appears the 1st step will be impeachment.

    Two Congressmen, a Taiwanese American immigrant and a gay Jewish/Italian dude wrote the article of impeachment against Mein Trump.

    You think it rubs salt in his wounds that it's these two that drafted the article?:rolleyes:

  5. The best part of it for me was how the movie is shot.   Many very poignant shots.  I especially love the very first scene and the very last, and also when they went to Penghu Island.

    I liked this movie quite a bit!  Anyone that knows or imagines how it was back in the 80s, being sweet on another boy.  The stigma.  Difficult!     Probably more so in Taiwan.    We could have a thread on that, the crazy shit some of us went through coming out to ourselves and falling for another boy.

     There is a director version coming with 40 minutes that Netflix cut out.  For example, some clips in the trailer aren't included in the Netflix cut.  

    The downside is the English subtitles aren't perfect and some key plot points aren't all that clear unless you chat with someone that is Chinese and knows how their alphabet works.  Still, I fill in the gaps knowing what the director intended, what he went through himself, as some of us did too, way back when.

     The two leads are very good and easy on the eyes.

     

    This still is from the movie, and is included in the Netflix cut.

    However, I did not see this going any other way. We knew the protests were going to get crazy. That is what happens when you get crazy people gathered together in a mob. They do even crazier things. Watching this and seeing this truly is sad. The photos of this will ruin the reputation of America for a generation. It guarantees that other countries will no longer look to us as a leader of democracy.

    The crack in our democratic reputation was at first visible when SCOTUS handed the presidency to Bush.  But yeah, the Trump presidency has accelerated the weakening in carrying out our principles of democracy, and then today it appeared the bottom sort of fell out.   

    Huzzah for Repbulicans Mitch Romney and Adam Kinzinger for telling it like it is today.  They are a silver lining in a dark Republican cloud.

    It has been the most fascinating political horse race I have ever followed. With very little sleep, I consider myself lucky I have any fingernails left.

    I prepared myself for Democrat failure. It's a wacky world, so poles and predictions be damned. Plus, it's Georgia. I never have any faith in the south, especially with voter response to Black politicians.

    This past year of politics has been the most depressing. And now we have the sedition caucus. DISGUSTING! Strip them naked. Tar and feather them all. A black stain forever on American democracy.

    I know far too many people who are seriously suffering. Most friends in my circle are self-employed. Almost everyone lost their job overnight, thanks to Trump's mishandling of Covid. Every single person I know with a career on Broadway has been out of work for months.

    Today there is light. There is hope.

    A big FUCK YOU to Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Stacey Abrams deserves some serious love from the Biden administration. I'm praying Sally Yates becomes Attorney General.

    The Dems must find a way to keep the Stacey Abrams energy alive and definitely show her some love and give her and GA credit for the big save.
