It’s because I’m from Massachusetts and spent so many summers on cape cod, so it hits really close to home, but I just can’t agree with anyone that Jaws isn’t Spielberg’s best. The last act is my favorite set piece he’s ever done. Raiders is great, but it’s no Jaws.

people using Death Of The Author to defend buying Harry Potter merch or whatever is an absolutely backwards way of understanding what Barthes was writing about, and clearly the people doing it are only interested in defending their own shallow morality

Oh, I saw two movies there when I visited Paris a few years ago! Still, housing is better than the alternative.

he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government almost entirely through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times. He said it *at the announcement* and yet pieces like this just ignore it.

“the case on the merits much weaker” JFC I guess we’re just regurgitating bad faith reactionaries and not engaging with all the real evidence showing trans girls have no significant advantage in sports. Also, participation in sports? That’s what we’re basing a political project off of now?

Past Lives was such a treat to see in theaters almost completely blind. Saw it at a big multiplex, giant screen, breath of fresh air.

Also, “the only issues were ripeness and success on the merits, how dare this woman ask us about issues related to the merits”
And of course, EOs aren’t law, so it’s a bunch of bullshit defending a house of cards.

I truly do not agree with the decision. It’s cowardice. The namesake of Whitman walker openly accepted trans people even when it was dangerous.
Fight. You’re literally an LGBTQ org.

To say nothing of tons of people outright dismissing black and white films because they’re in black and white.
Agree with the thrust of your argument as it relates to gaming through.
