For movie night, I have two suggestions. The first is Edgar Wright's The World's End. Hilarious film with interesting characters, witty dialogue, and excellent cinematography.

The other is actually an anime film called Your Name. One of the best animated films I have ever seen. A Freaky Friday-esque coming of age story with some interesting twists and character development. Can't go wrong with either choice.

Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt", allegedly his personal favorite. The lovely and sincere Teresa Wright VS the creepily evil Joseph Cotton. Hume Cronyn puts in a memorable and amusing turn as a neighbor engrossed in Who-Done-Its.

Too many, all? of your recommendations are behind a paywall. They sound interesting, but alas, many of us must remain in ignorance.

I'm a big fan of directors Baz Luhrman, Terrence Malick, Paul Thomas Anderson and Stanley Kubrick. Two movies that instantly spring to mind are Gattaca and Bliss. There are some crappy movies with the title Bliss but the one I'm referencing is an Australian low budget movie made in 1985.

I would say that a good Lord of the rings extended edition marathon is good every once in a while... also, I would add most Guy Ritchie films (Snatch is probably my favorite) if you are looking for just come good popcorn films. Also, I've heard a lot of incredible things about the film Monica.

I have to say that this "image defending pedos because im a rotten disgusting bitch" thing that Meg Kelley woman is doing has gotten me soooo truly disgusted that it leaves me with legitimately no words. THIS is the hill evil-ass cave trolls of her ilk want to die on...really!!!??

If Ahmed Al Sharaa is able to bloodlessly negotiate a peace among all the factions in Syria, who cares about the ideological twists and turns of his life? To demand a "sinless" leader is to allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good, a purist demand that will keep Syria in turmoil, which is the strategy of Zionist Israel, coincidently.

I guess Mr. Robot is not a movie, it's a series. Frankenstein or Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo Del Toro.

The problem is, and what I hear from the few "conservative" friends I have left. They say, "I don't like the guy, but I like his policies."

What blows my mind is that they will support a pedophile, a sex offender, a bribe-taker, a criminal fraudster, a dictator/authoritarian, etc, to save some money.

The Epstein Escapades has done more for my lack of joy than anything in a long time! To have THIS be the final nail in the Orange Asshole's coffin, is delicious! And add to that Peter Theil & some of that ilk - absolutely magic. The great conspiracy of the left being a pedophile, child-eating cabal, was just the rights reflection back on themselves - good Christians, of course!
