Yes but is it… for lack of a better term… florkable?

Mexicanos al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridón
Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir de el cañón

Yeah, and I’m lovin’ it. The political axis of conversation has shifted, at long last.

Many of us misled ourselves about the “obligation” or “strategic advantage” of there always having to be a two-term attempt. The fact that Joe chose Kamala as VP, and decided to retire after one term, speaks VOLUMES about why I trusted and trust him as president and as a fellow human, and how it pissed me off to hear people saying that both parties are the same.

Anyway… Joe Biden’s legacy will now most certainly be a positive one. As I knew it would be.

Words have powers bordering on magic, I guess is the idea.
And for many people that’s true, for as long as they are willing to believe that.

So I guess what I’m saying is that placebos have powers bordering on magic.

The Wicker Man is at the very top for me, I never seek out horror films as any sort of fan of the genre, and this one transcends it.
So does Evil Dead 2. As well as The Shining.
So that’s three. Alien also belongs up there. Four down, one to go…

I’ll round it out with The Exorcist. And you know why that film was so shocking for the time? Because it wasn’t filmed as a horror film, but as a family drama. That dry context is what made it feel so immediate for seventies audiences, and it’s still effective today, as it’s not a conceit nor gimmick, it’s an artistic statement of intent.

Or when you twist or stretch too suddenly and feel a little something go snap in your lower back, that’s when you know yer gonna be using Advil for at least a couple of days.
