Hang on Sloopy is a classic but for us wrestling fans Rick will always be most legendary for his banging Demolition theme. RiP. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7yGB...

People forget that at the end of every episode, He-Man would tell kids to not be dicks and then punch them in the face so they remembered it.

If RFK says don't do something you should do it

I did a Friday marathon (sans reboot for obv reason) for the umpteenth time and, yeah, this does fall flat. I actually quite like some of the ideas but a Jason film without Jason does not really work.

I never knew they double billed. I'd be there too!

If you haven't read In the Name of the People by Lara Pawson please do so.

Yikes

How time's change

Standout of the night, although not as good as their Mania match

The replies to this show that the people expressing disgust do not know anything about Hezbollah and have taken no time at all to even perform a cursory search for what Hezbollah are and stand for. It is so easy to say that Netanyahu belongs in The Hague (he does btw) without supporting Hezbollah.

This Saturday Night's Main Event is really disappointing. Drew and Priest were very good at least.

And after Angela The Fireworks Woman, which lies between both and introduced him to Peter Locke.

Smokey and the Bandit has amazing stunts and all but revisiting it today... it just doesn't hold up to my childhood memories. Sorry Burt.

One thing Craven said early on in his filmmaking career was that his films were about the lower class saying to the upper class, “You’ve got something I want, and I’m just going to take it.” We see this throughout Summer of Fear #TVMParty

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Love this film.

Great to see Candice LeRae.

Finally saw Sinners and honestly found it to be a slog. Terribly underlit during much of the final act. Rotten CGI. I don't get the hype at all.

We have the same assumption with Oxford in the UK but that it is super tory.

Trump is so insane and yet his cult so large he could just as well said he was doing this to Harvard and used the plot for Soul Man as the reason. I *swear* his fanbase would legit go along with the story of C Thomas Howell and the skin dye.

I realize that as a retired professor I have a responsibility to say more on this than I have. International students are essential to the fiscal bottom line of almost every university. This is an unambiguous attempt to destroy Harvard—permanently. And he won’t stop with Harvard. This is madness.

It is a remarkable self own. Some of the campus protests have used antisemitic language (oh hello University of Sydney) but ultimately you have to treat these cases individually. If it was about antisemitism this is what Harvard would be left alone to do.

FFS.

Probably enjoying the Uyghur dance shows in Xinjiang with a local tour guide sitting very closely behind her.

I am informed here that I am Zionist, which as far as I can tell this week means I spoke unflatteringly of a double murder.

Nightmare wins this by a country mile. It is a classic in its own right too.

The Trump administration has blocked Harvard from enrolling international students. Foreign students now face a harsh choice, transfer or lose their legal status. Futures disrupted, lives displaced. All in one policy swing.

Hopefully this will be good for UK unis. The man is a lunatic.

Everyone on this app defending killing diplomats should watch this in silence and listen to every word. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxlp...

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security showing zero class

But but but I remember all those social media feeds saying both guys standing for President were the same. Seriously Jill Stein fans. This is what you deserve.
