  • No no no, they only care about the best interests of their employees! That’s why they spend so much fighting unions. It has no profit motive whatsoever. Because, obviously, the union won’t be able to secure any better wages or benefits anyway! So there’s really no reason to unionize. Ever. Don’t even talk about it. Definitely don’t talk about it with your co-workers. Definitely don’t leave union literature on the break room table. Certainly don’t bring up unionizing to a few people you trust.











  • You know what film failed to challenge even a second grade understanding of anything? Blues Brothers. You know what film really nails being two solid hours of entertainment? Blues Brothers.

    At no point in either movie do you ever wonder what is going to happen to the protagonist, how they’re going to get out of a predicament, or think about the world we live in. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t, because you’re jamming out to Aretha Franklin absolutely killing it.

    I love dark introspective movies with layers of nuance that make me stare in to infinity for a while had thinking about what I saw. I also love dumb fun entertainment. There’s a wide gap between those two extremes where quality just falls in to a mediocre valley of boring. And right at the middle there’s another peak where truly rare films manage to strike a balance between stupid fun and introspective. It’s like horseshoes, close counts because you almost never hit the peg. Mandy comes to mind. So does the first Iron Man.
