if only there were a film exploring the complex "masala" of race, identity, and politico/cultural belonging in the US and Africa

Way better than it had any right to be. Also blatant pro-NATO propaganda, which I’m all for

funniest part of Zohran’s win is republicans and liberals uniting in the belief that the director of Mississippi Masala is an international power broker worth tens of millions of dollars

Eric Adams already hit that I bet

Visited the Imperial Palace today and thought of this about a hundred times

That’s the thing about unfalsifiable conspiracy theories: there is never any reckoning, you just make up excuses to explain why nothing ever comes true. Jesse has been running this schtick about Kash’s confirmation for months.

She sexually trafficked them to…Jeffrey Epstein! Jesus Christ everyone is so stupid

keep this kind of posting in 2017 please

This part of Trump fandom drives me crazy. He is at once "daddy" the I alone can fix it strong man, and also constantly the victim of some higher power whenever something goes wrong.

REM is the answer

I mean the entire "he ran a sex crime concierge service for rich men, and by rich men, we mean Democrats who we also hate for other reasons, and definitely not Donald Trump, who knew Epstein and was like, that guy sure is fun" thing was pretty much designed to be unfalsifiable

On Epstein: as I've written too many times to count, there ARE massive amounts of FBI/DOJ files that have not been released, or those that are available are so heavily blacked out that they are unreadable. The FBI and DOJ can release these files (redacting the names of victims)

People are really not familiar with the basic facts of the Epstein case. All the victims who testified at Maxwell’s trial said they were trafficked to Epstein himself, who abused them with Maxwell’s assistance.

Bitch At

This is the take about critics that drives me battiest. No real critic is pretending to like or dislike a movie, no real critic is paid to like or dislike a movie, no real critic is lying to you to trick you into seeing something.

Exactly nobody is paid to be at movie screenings and I assure you, if any studio even ATTEMPTED to pay anyone off to write up a positive review or post a positive review tweet, you'd hear about it and they'd be in BIG trouble. Been in this industry for 15+ years, never seen it.

Cool

A million AI bots trained on a billion Resistance posts couldn’t come up with something as on the nose as “Elon tries to make an anti-woke AI and it immediately starts praising Hitler”

This is obviously true
