Marnie Shure@marnieshure.bsky.social · 2y agoNot exactly the same exercise, but allow me to use this thread to share the greatest injustice in 21st-century cinema: When execs saw how well ONCE was performing at the box office and quickly photoshopped an unconvincing handhold onto the poster

A little thing I do on the internet is follow a local independent business on Instagram just to continually confirm that I find them annoying, but not tell a soul about it because In This House We Support Independent Businesses, but man are they annoying
