Just saw a friend from college posting a GFM for a friend who has been unlawfully detained by ICE. I don't even have the words anymore. Anything helps.
The entire Poor Things conversation is just proof that people cannot handle consuming a movie that isn't didactically telling them how to feel at every single moment

Projecting film is so crazy bc tonight I joined a legacy of protectionists who have been showing this exact print of The Thing for the last 44 years. Kind of surreal to think about 4 decades of hands touching these exact reels.
