That makes sense.

Indeed. Hilary did eleven hours of grilling over Benghazi and never broke a sweat.

Donnie gets the vapors having to debate Harris.

True story I have told so many times....

Right after the 2016 election the NY Times assembled a panel of all the creators of the top TV political dramas. House of Cards, West Wing, Scandal, Veep...

Every creator said the same thing. If they'd had a character say that they "liked soldiers who didn't get captured" the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be shown as hated by all Americans and voted out by the next episode.

Meanwhile you have MAGooswho also fly the black POW/MIA flag next to their Trump flag

I'd rather have Harris calling for pot to be legal and lying then have Trump saying he'll be a dictator and telling the truth.

Really good breakdown of how the show used camera movement to tell the story.

Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did.

Let me know what you think, okay?

lol! Yes, yes I have.

I'll see and raise you. "The Porkchoppers" and "The Fools In Town Are On Our Side," both by Ross Thomas.

Thomas was a Washington reporter turned crime novelist. The first book is about a Union election and the second is about an attempt to clean up a small Southern city by making the corruption so bad that even the pimps will vote for reform.

[off topic?]

Wonderfully cheesy 1970s movie "Logan's Run" had a deal like that. Instead of just swiping on an image, people teleported to your house. If you liked each other you'd step off the platform...

[The movie has a brief appearance by Farrah Fawcett, which gives it high 1970s nostalgia appeal]

There's no legal requirement for a movie to have anything.

Most people contract for certain things, but it's all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he'd have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.
