In this movie, Charlie Chaplin is a worker who keeps getting told to go faster at great strain to his personhood and health. How quaint. The 1930s sure were a time

I would not have occurred to me that cocaine was a plot point in this movie.

Maybe it’s us that are the Modern Times

It's a good thing we've moved beyond that and all the other horrors of that time. Oh, look, another state trying to repeal child labor laws. Yep, this is a brave new world of labor progress of all types.

And we don't even have Charlie Chaplin to see us through.

We need new acrobatic comedian film auteurs to guide us through the dark times ahead

Bill Hader needs to start doing his own stunts and almost getting hit by trains

The next scene is cops beating up a non violent group of striking workers so back to our jokes
