    @govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

    #sizesky #vore Midway through a movie, a mouse finds her bucket empty. A shame to leave the hall for more munchies and miss the rising action, she solves the matter with magic. When next she reaches in, she reaches down into the theater, and out come popcorn-sized patrons to satisfy her cravings.

    Last night's movie with my daughter: THE FRENCH CONNECTION (Friedkin, 1971). Midway through movie, she asks, "So...I'm *supposed* to think he's an asshole, right?" Related, in case Jeff Wells is reading: that thermonuclear slur is in the version now on Criterion Channel.

    this game from Midway being a huge hit was super consequential because the techniques used for digitizing actors performances would later be used in the original Mortal Kombat. film production was also closely involved enough to give the devs set access for photography

    I'm just rewatching the movie Midway right now. All I'm thinking is, that America is lost. The greatest generation probably didn't realize that half the boomers it spawned would be crapping on their graves. Maybe the dead in Arlington can rise up and take care of this since we can't.

    We watched MIDWAY this weekend, and it was a solid film. Surprisingly historically accurate. Led to a funny exchange with Miyuki though. "In American war films, you guys are always the heroes! In Japanese war films, it is always about sadness and suffering." "Well yeah... because you guys lost."

    Sometimes i think about when me & my friends watched the (then new) Mortal Kombat movie & i predicted every plot point & "twist" from start to end. Midway through one asked "Did you write this movie??" Important to remember that as writers what is obvious to us is not clear to the average enjoyer

    Midway through so maybe there will be a hard left turn but EVIL DEAD BURN is the most cynical, mean-spirited movie I have seen in recent memory. It uses domestic violence and killing a dog as vehicles for horror which I am not a fan of. I’ve enjoyed all prior EVIL DEADs but this one is not my thing.
