Nobody out there made you sick, you know that? The only person who made you sick is you. Whatever the sickness. If our immune system is damaged, it's because we have allowed it to be, through exactly the kind of anger you are showing us now. Does that make sense?

I can't stop thinking about this movie, and how it reflects American views on illness: placing much of the burden on the patient. Todd Haynes has spoken at length about…

Final Destination Bloodlines

★★★½ Liked 1

Executes the series formula perfectly, a great gory time made even better by the big guy several seats away from me letting out a hearty belly laugh every time someone died a brutal death on screen. The hospital scene undoubtedly being my favorite.

I coulda SWORE Darlene was played by Lara Flynn Boyle (Donna from Twin Peaks).....but instead it was Rya Kihlstedt......one of the terrorists in Home Alone 3? (Still a childhood guilty pleasure)

Also seeing Tony Todd one last time, obviously ill during production, still made for a sweet sendoff for an absolute legend.

Louis is the absolute best at getting interviewees to fully lay their hubris and batshit worldviews out in the open. From Westboro Baptist Church, to Black Hebrew Israelites, and now settlers in the West Bank. Unreal levels of dehumanization and othering itted to openly on camera, with Louis' trademark look of befuddlement in response.

Kurtwood Smith is so damn good as a villain, a gang leader who looks like someone my grandfather would have worked with at Pac Bell.

I wonder if David Lynch saw this and decided to cast Ray Wise and Miguel Ferrer in Twin Peaks as a result?

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law, oh and keep your hands off of corporate.

The ED-209 is the silliest looking guy with…

Reese Witherspoon to Star in Election Sequel Tracy Flick Can’t Win at Paramount+

Now that a sequel is on the way, it's time for me to remind everyone of how iconic Election is.

In a year of movies like The Matrix, Fight Club, 10 Things I Hate About You, Eyes Wide Shut, and The Blair Witch Project, virtually no one saw Election in theaters (grossed 14 million in the US) and yet I can't think of another movie from '99…
