ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PAXTON SCANDAL Paxton will fly all the way to Dubai to party w/fugitives wanted on federal fraud charges, but won’t show up on a debate stage to face James Talarico in front of Texas voters. One of those fugitives donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER being indicted.

Maggie’s cynical take on the afterlife is one valid reading but another is represented by the starlight at the end of the film. The minor miracles these people experience are like light from another world ,affirming their hope that there might indeed be a heaven after all. #TCMParty #BabettesFeast

I at least give Flanagan credit for his version of #Carrie showing the rain of stones onto the White residence, which I always thought was one of the more arcane and interesting “set pieces” in the book. Baffling that DePalma chose to leave it out.

In John McGyver’s dialog to Angela Lansbury one could quite credibly substitute John Iselin’s name for that of Donald Trump and the result would be stunningly accurate thus demonstrating good art’s timelessness. #TCMParty #TheManchurianCandidate

I always took #FullMetalJacket to be first and foremost a complete indictment of American military culture and training. I still wonder if hiring mercenaries who choose this profession might not be better than funding an unwilling drafted force. #TCMParty
