2. Halloween (for rent via video-on-demand). Judy Greer’s character expertly and hilariously trolls the Left when she says her mom, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), is wrong to arm herself and prepare for the worst because, “The world is not a dark and evil place. It’s full of love and understanding!” The importance of armed individual self-defense, the fallen nature of man, the incompetence of state authorities, the necessity of capital punishment for evildoers, and even the vapidity of liberal true-crime podcasters all get ingeniously dramatized as Michael Myers goes on yet another rampage.
That is...certainly a piece of writing.

Lol, good one! But nah....I'm broke! I have guitar things to get. Now if it was like $3.99, I'd buy it.

I do want to get a good musician biography. I'm really into those. In one year, I read the following artists auto bios-

Steven Tyler
Slash
Vince Neil
Steven Adler
Ozzy
Gene Simmons
Stephen Pearcy (Ratt's singer)

I might be missing a couple.....

looks to me that most of what people take away as far as agenda or politics in film, comes from their own perspective and viewpoint.

Yeah. If a movie wants to be political, it will announce its presence at some point. The paragraph above is some shit I can’t believe anyone was paid to write.
