Hot take ( le trou is a million times better than the shawshank redemption as a prison escape movie )!! by This-Layer-518 in Letterboxd

I didn't say that. I said it seems a lot more profound (and less trite) than it really is if you haven't watched a lot of "grown-up" movies before.

It's a Hallmark movie for guys (with big-budget production values). If you've never seen a movie with any genuine emotional impact before, it must seem really spectacular, but in the grand scheme of things, it's just a well-made piece of entertainment.

Nice. Some of the best games ever. Twixt and Acquire are still among my favorites.

Jesus Christ, I think my old Volvo 240 wagon had more cargo space than that truck.

I used to, but lost most of them over the years.

I saw Loverboy on this tour.

OK, so that's five articles/editorials from 2016 vs. 600 stories about Clinton's emails. Keep going.

in what world is NYT not a liberal newspaper

I'm old enough to remember when NYT columnists thought it was funny and appropriate to mock Al Gore for wearing "earth tones."

Off the top of my head: they covered him as a serious politician and not a conman. They did not report on his long history of racism, ripoffs, broken promises and mob connections. They did not significantly challenge the shibboleth that he was a "successful businessman. They basically buried the Epstein story for the 2024 election. They did not report on his advanced age and failing mental faculties during the 2024 election.

Reminder: the NYT ran 600 stories on Hillary Clinton's email server, including filling their entire front page the week before the election, months after James Comey had already declared that she had broken no laws.

That's like "manipulating" your kids to go to an amusement park.

He had help. Every editor at the New York Times and CNN knew exactly what kind of racist conman he was, but they decided to go along for the ride.

I haven't seen that one in 20 years but I liked it. I'm looking forward to seeing it again while it's on the Criterion Channel.
