Will be watching Casablanca on the big screen next Sunday, thanks to Fathom Events. Speaking of movies about fucking fascists.

Back then, we had a POTUS who was a real leader; we thought we had rid the world of fascism for good. Now we have a moron POTUS who calls them "good people".

Woman In Gold, 2015

Critics have called it dull and, in places, historically inaccurate. Any scene involving Helen Mirren would be impossible to be dull; she's an incredibly gifted actress. There was certainly nothing inaccurate about the Nazi plundering of art, including the great Klimt painting from which the movie derives its name. Nothing inaccurate, either, about the Austrian's denial of the facts in this lengthy case, until justice finally prevailed.

Yet another depiction of the ruthlessness of the Nazis, and how their legacy lives on in the disgusting greed, denial of facts, and moral vacuum of Trump, his enablers, and his "good people".

Kedi, a documentary about the cats of Istanbul, and their interdependence with people. One of my cats was mesmerized through the whole thing.

Very engaging movie. Doubt a Republican would get it at all...

Get Out by Jordan Peele. Interesting movie. Kind of a Key & Peele meets Shawn of the Dead. I'm not sure it deserves the critical acclaim it has gotten.

I don't know if it is more of a comment on the awesomeness of Gary Clark Jr.'s version of Come Together, or the mediocrity of Justice League, but my favorite part of the movie was when, as the credits rolled, Come Together started blasting out of that theater sound system.

As ballsy social commentary, probably yes.
