sinners: how real stories of irish and choctaw oppression inform the film

The real message of the movie

What I am is the Indian who can't die. I'm the worst dream America ever had.

Finished reading the buffalo hunter hunter by Stephen Graham Jones & kid you not that he’s become one of my favorite authors. I cannot stop reading his novels.😭😭

i'm still thinking about ryan coogler full chest saying "yea remmick's design and demeanor were inspired by the wolf from puss in boots: the last wish. major influence on sinners, that movie was. i sent it to jack." visionary. genius. no one is doing it like him.

I’m genuinely so angry with what they did to Rita ( it’s been 15 years)

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

physically go to your local library at least once. seriously.

look around. find a random book with a cover that catches your attention. read the description. read the first page. if you like the sounds of it, borrow it and take it home to read. borrow a handful of books even.

if a book loses your interest, drop it. if a book grips onto you, ride that wave.

i've struggled to read recreationally for years despite having read so much as a kid. a lot of us are frozen by the seemingly infinite choices. even when we buy books to take home, we don't read them because which book is worth reading first? we don't have to decide, we have it right here in our bookshelves, we have an eternity of never deciding.

in this past month, i have read five books, most of them i've never heard of when i spotted their cover at the library. most of them, i've ended up loving. the due date of library books maintains the ability to read a book so i can return them to the library and leave the library with more books. an even better incentive than borrowing ebooks, because i actually have to leave the house and not be a hermit.

so if you used to enjoy reading but struggle with it now, ignore the book recs you hear. go to the library, come across a book that piques your interest, and read one page after another until you either lose interest or finish the book.

then it's onto the next one.

Everytime I think of Disney Fairies it makes me sad that such a great franchise didn’t really get treated correctly. There was so much potential & it genuinely felt the most magical out of all the other Disney projects & franchises that exist that I’ve seen

David Lynch is directing dreams now btw

Does this word not sound like the midnight call of the Bird of Death? Do not utter it, or the images of life will fade - into pale shadows and ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed your Blood.

Leyendecker's Dancing Couple as Nosferatu 2024

[babsrambles]

While I am happy that horror films are finally being included in the awards, how did they not nominate Margaret Qualley, Lily-Rose Depp, Zendaya, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Luca Guadagnino, Denis Villanueve???

These actors & Director made some of the most amazing performance & films & none of the nominated!????

But Emilia Perez gets 13 nominations. What a fucking joke.
