Had to walk out of The Last Blossom because of a 7-second subtitle gap in the film screener.
Was so excited to see and support this film by the ODDTAXI team.
What are we doing here @gkids.com
This was so frustrating and kinda embarrassing having brought a whole meetup group to see it!

Overjoyed to see Phoenix finally get the kind of release it deserves in English - previously it was kind of forgotten by Viz and a lot of famous American cartoonists think Buddha is Teuzka's life's work because of this: www.reddit.com/r/graphicnov...
From the graphicnovels community on Reddit: Phoenix by Osamu Tezuka is being reprinted in Deluxe Editions by Kodansha.

Yes, everyone hates fees. What do you plan to do with all these open fascists and the infrastructure they've created around themselves when you get power back. Is anyone planning to reckon with the reality that the Before times led directly to the Now times.

It cannot be overstated how much influence Suzuki has had on modern horror. Without his books being adapted, the modern crop of horror movies looks VERY DIFFERENT. Without RINGU, there is no SINISTER or INSIDIOUS or IT FOLLOWS. The J-Horror aesthetic which evolved from his books redefined horror.
Koji Suzuki, the world-renowned novelist best-known for Ring, "Floating Water" (Dark Water), Spiral, and more horror stories, has died at age 68:

But wait it gets even worse! It also offers tax incentives that would be a public subsidy for yet another new White Sox stadium & another for a luxury apartment mega development.
And who knows how many other giant for profit projects would get public subsidies disguised as “incentives” under PILOT

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
