Why is your ignorance my problem?
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

The democrats are "outraged" because they know it's effective.
When your own mother calls you a liar, that's a powerful message to the voters. When your own daughter called the cops on you because you're mentally unstable violent individual, then you're not fit for office @amyactonoh

I will never care that Lindsey Graham was gay. I care that he spent his life voting against the rights of other gay people and betrayed his country to kiss Donald trump's ass.
The rights' open embrace of pedophilia should be a rallying cry for their total and complete destruction

If this was true, the US would have a better train system.

I really hate when jobs ask you to set “goals”
my only goal is to keep getting paid so i can afford to live while finding happiness in everything outside of work

Dude was in over 400 movies. He did EVERYTHING. Big action films, indie horror, tv.
Before Ari Aster broke in, Richard Riehle would lead one of his short films the same year he was in 13 movies. He could hold his own with any A-lister.
One of the most reliable men in Hollywood

Another incredible vote blue no matter who moment 👍🏼
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats.
"I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."

We shouldn't be mean to people who aren't academically smart but we absolutely have a right + responsibility to shame the intellectually incurious. The world is literally on fire because of anti-intellectualism

i really believe in giving people grace—we are fallible, plans go awry, mistakes happen. UNLESS that mistake involves showing up 20 minutes late to a movie & flashing your fucking flashlight around & loudly wondering where your seat is. in which case i am putting a curse on you

When we got suspended from Cornell for our peaceful, anti-genocide encampment, Cornell admin threatened to attach a permanent notice to our transcripts about the suspensions. Cornell chose to protect this rapist, and chose not to notify or warn NSU about him.
New: One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape transferred to a Florida university.
The university says it was unaware of the allegations when it admitted him, raising questions about what disciplinary info follows students between colleges.
