"It's not where you're going that counts, it's who the hell's in back of you."
OK, if the trailer is any indication, Smokey and the Bandit might be a relative source of wisdom, 'cause that's actually pretty good advice.
I'm gonna give it a shot. It's got a cute basset hound and it hates cops as much as we do, what could go wrong?

@001zlnv If the things I've been saying had applied to WFRR, it would have been a very different film. :O
And probably directed by Ralph Bakshi. 😱

Almost done.
Yes, Eddie, women love all of... whatever the hell that just was that you did and said. Didn't you physically return this woman to the bar like a suddenly unwanted gas station sandwich, not 40 minutes ago?
Also, I should have timed the exact length of the Miraculous And Highly Believable Conversion Of Cop To Apparently Tolerable Levels Of Racism, but I'm pretty sure it was <120 seconds total.
This is why I do this, kids. This is the first it's felt good to live in 2020 in quite a long time. (Haha, that's a lie--I watch She-Ra and follow queer vixens on Masto and stuff. <3 )
re: media; 80s films; severe values dissonance
Wow, I'm lovin' this theme of disposable women, too--Reggie's attempted bar conquests, Racist Cop Guy's neglect of his wife being played up as faintly wacky, the practically voiceless hostages, the (cough) "dykes" whose home they invade and push around...
This film is doing exactly what it needed to, though: reminding me that despite the ongoing political shitshow, our culture has evolved tremendously for the better in the last 40 years--at least, in some parts of the damn country--and this ENRAGES our political enemies.
re: (re: worthwhile twitter crosspost) Postfurry musings
@Oneironott yup, i've never been a big fan of preserving a structure for its own sake, it offends my discordian morals, so i declared victory for postfurry and retreated a long time ago :)
re: Cw: Transphobia, Seattle TSA
@mawr Also needless to say fuck a whole bunch of those guys. >_< I'm very disappointed---I used to think of the Seattle TSA as an unusually chill bunch of their kind, but their treatment of my trans friends has told another, revolting story.
re: Cw: Transphobia, Seattle TSA
@mawr Fuuuuuuck you're brave, mawr. Thank you for taking this risk upon yourself, just be careful out there okay? 😻
🐯, good news, heroes
ATTENTION MARTIANS:
DO NOT EAT THESE GUYS
BRING THEM A SANDWICH INSTEAD

@mmsword I'LL TAKE IT!
This is the "What's New Pussycat" clip I was talking about in that cafe thread.
Listen, folks, if you're not familiar with this, not only is it one of my favorite pieces of standup... it perfectly captures the sort of energy I think we need to bring to fighting the Trump movement. O:>
