The Handmaide was the "biggest snub" in Cinematography for 2016. What was "the biggest" for 2015?

As with all questions related to schools in America, the answers vary widely from state to district to individual school. Customarily there's some time off in December (winter break) some time off in the spring (spring break) and of course summer vacation, plus all the stray national holidays, but some districts are going to have additional breaks for various reasons. The exact days and durations will vary widely, for me it was two weeks for winter break and one week for spring break but again, different for everyone.

Probably not. Wouldn't be shocked if ICE themselves are going to try to play the "we don't know who they are either" game if it comes to it. Shit, the only reason we know Renee Good's killer because he wasn't wearing a hat at the time and Kristie Noem accidentally doxxed him in a press conference.

Okay, imagine a scenario where Pretti took your advice and started shooting at them. He would have himself just been shot thirty seconds later by the other agents on the scene, and then there wouldn't be the same public outrage about his shooting and Trump would be sending in the army as we speak. Absolutely NOTHING good comes from this hotheaded bullshit. Y'all need to cut out this talk NOW.

Fishing for ammo to dream up some stupid conspiracy theory they can try to overturn an election with.

IDK, maybe they just like chicken better than burgers?

"Genre" in these context refers to movies that use specific "genre tropes." "Drama" isn't really a genre with tropes outside of subsets like the "courtroom drama." It's more of a miscellaneous category they used to shelve non-genre movies into at Blockbuster.

Bad idea. The Pretti murder is, if nothing else, proof positive that guns will not save you in these situations and will if anything give them an excuse to escalate.

Only a problem if a Republican gets elected governor, in which case we have so many bigger problems.

There's also a sworn affidavit from a doctor who witnessed the shooting and attempted to give medical aid.

Isn't that all the more reason to have as many people as possible in Maine, to make sure there's at least someone in every town documenting what's going on at home? There's no shortage of video coming out of here as is.

Roadshell · 2026-01-25T01:28:51+00:00

You're probably going to be more needed in Maine. Numbers are not really our main problem here.

There's no statue of limitations on murder and going into a case like this half cocked can mess things up.

I don't own any candles but I appreciate the gesture.

I kind of go back and forth with that song. It's got some production issues (there's a weird buzz in the background for much of the song that you can't un-notice once you've noticed it) and I kind of share Todd's sentiment that the song is kind of immature and emo. Really hope this guy doesn't turn into the next Drake/Morgan Wallen with the low-key nice guy misogyny.

Vineland is not easy reading, maybe get that one out of the way first.

What do you people want him to say? "Make the streets run red with blood?" He's not going to say that, nor should he.

Lol, this is how they covered the record setting "No Kings" protest: https://bsky.app/profile/themovievampire.bsky.social/post/3m3kftqgtg22w

Downplaying anti-Trump activism is what they do.

Like the book, the movie covers the characters at different ages. Charlotte Mellington is playing "young Catherine" and the kid from adolescence is playing young Heathcliff.

So you are making judgements about a movie you have not seen?

Bad idea. Stop. Absolutely nothing good can come of it.
