re-upping this thread on the wonder of jurassic park because the great sam neill has left us an incomparable actor who truly understood the magic of cinema thanks, sam, for sharing that magic with all of us
Micah@rincewind.run · 2mo agothe reveal - the absolute and total fumbling awe of Grant and Sattler as they see dinosaurs for the first time, just as John Williams’ greatest score kicks into full gear - is one of the best scenes in all of cinema
Jurassic Park is my favorite movie and the first movie I remember seeing in a theater. My dad took me when I was 7. He passed 5 years ago. Ever since I’ve watched JP every year on his birthday. Dr. Grant was my guy. Sam Neill was a great actor. I’m going to be in my feelings about this for a while.
What I'll remember most about The Joker was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to instigate chaos in Gotham. Though he frequently tried to kill me and everyone I love, The Joker was never disagreeable." -Batman
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3w agoWhat I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
Hard cosign. Going with your friends or girlfriend to the video store on a Friday night to pick out movies for the weekend was so much fun.
Happy Fourth. On this day, I like to revisit Frederick Douglass’ “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July,” and in particular, this video NPR produced a few years back of portions of the speech being read by Douglass’ descendants. youtu.be/NBe5qbnkqoM?...

People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.

So, I think people have the notion that I saw BIRTH OF A NATION was racist and that's why I want to remove it from the canon. That's not actually true. I kept hearing about how BOAN was the first this and the first that but as I started watching more silent movies, the math was not mathing.
The Trae hate is venturing into the realm of irrationality… I guess Trae was supposed to sign for the mid level??
It’s time to call this out. The most unqualified person to ever be SecDef is blocking the promotions of high level people for racial and gender reasons not related to their experience or merit. That makes him a person with racist and sexist issues - and a hack who weakens our armed forces.

Today I am moved by power of this example of how Black people hold our own history. Without museums. W/o official declarations or monuments. In community. Happy Juneteenth!
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt’s Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Island & issued General Order No. 3. It announced that “all slaves are free.” This story of this one event was commemorated through the diaspora of Black Americans for more than 150 years before becoming a national holiday.
