On the latest episode of Junk Filter, @coreyatad.com and I went to see Costner’s big screen western epic HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA CHAPTER ONE (with 4 other people in the cinema). Will there really be 3 more of these? We discuss! Here’s a preview! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

This bolsters my theory that Trump getting shot at changed zero minds about voting for him because of the many many years Americans have had it drilled into their heads, every day, that everyone just has to accept random acts of violence are a part of life

"In the national Morning Consult poll of 2,045 registered voters, taken Monday, Trump leads President Joe Biden 46 percent to 45 percent. The poll has a margin of error of two percentage points." www.rawstory.com/trump-pollin...

I love that pull quote because it could either be praise or an absolutely devastating burn

It's weird how the bad guy in literally every Hollywood movie of the 90s was a Trump surrogate (remember the Ben Gazzara character in Road House?) but we still ended up here, I guess hurrah for the power of cinema

England right now

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

It's kind of funny that Bernie Sanders is the most reliable, loyal, and effective campaigner the Dems have and the Dems fucking hate him for that

Sen. Bernie Sanders came out with a fierce op-ed backing Joe Biden amid growing Dem revolt: "He will be the candidate and should be the candidate."

Biden might not be able to stay awake past 9 pm but he can still sell death delivery devices

The U.S. is resuming a shipment of 500-pound bombs to Israel that had been held up since May, when the Biden administration suspended delivery of two types of weaponry amid concerns about the ballooning scale of civilian casualties in Gaza, officials said.

U.S. to again ship 500-pound bombs to Israel, reversing suspensionwww.washingtonpost.com The Biden administration will send 500-pound bombs to Israel that had been held up since May over concerns about the Rafah invasion. But 2,000-pound bombs are still under review.

This is a big day for the Michael Clayton heads

"Anarchy USA" is one of the weirdest and worst things I've ever encountered and Mississippi politicians essentially believe it TO THIS DAY

On the latest Junk Filter I’m joined by @souljagoyshmulik.bsky.social for a look at some reactionary American cinema of the 60s: the John Birch Society propaganda film ANARCHY U.S.A., John Wayne’s pro-Vietnam War film THE GREEN BERETS and the cultural satire JOE podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

RIP Robert Towne, this is still one of the most chilling summaries of the nature of greed I’ve ever encountered in fiction

When Chinatown opened, people said "They'll be teaching Robert Towne's screenplay 50 years from now." That was 50 years ago. Towne was one of the true legends of New Hollywood (and knew it), wrote some great movies and brought brilliance to many others. What he knew, you can't teach. RIP.

I did 8 episodes of Junk Filter on “Miami Vice” last year but there’s more to say… and we’re coming up on the 40th anniversary of the premiere this September… so… youtu.be/HZnd1L0NgeM?...

The Who on Miami Vice #2: Face The Faceyoutu.be From episode "One Way Ticket" (S02E14).

New levels of “Ah, well. Nevertheless,” were reached yesterday. It feels like the Dems have privately calculated they are better off fundraising off a Cheeto back in the White House than actually stopping him from getting back in power, Biden’s statement last night was basically “¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
