«Next door to The Angry Dragon / Black Shampoo double feature, Last House on Dead End Street was playing at the Cine 42. This is where Roger Watkins saw his film theatrically with Paul Jensen. It is also where Frank Henenlotter saw it. This is the only known photographic evidence of Last House on Dead End Street's NYC theatrical run.»

A jury has convicted Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes of masterminding a plot to violently subvert the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, finding that he entered into a seditious conspiracy against the U.S. government.
The jury also convicted Rhodes ally Kelly Meggs, leader of the Florida Oath Keepers, of seditious conspiracy. But the jury acquitted three co-defendants — Jessica Watkins, Kenneth Harrelson and Thomas Caldwell — of joining Rhodes in that conspiracy. All five, however, were convicted on additional felony charges, including obstruction of Congress.
Rhodes’ conviction is the most significant to emerge from the Justice Department’s sprawling investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, when dozens of Oath Keepers joined the mob that stormed the building and chased Congress, as well as then-Vice President Mike Pence, into hiding.
Rhodes faces a maximum sentence of 20 years on the seditious conspiracy conviction. The other defendants also face 20-year maximum sentences for the obstruction conviction. The 12-juror panel deliberated for three full days before reaching its verdict.
All of the defendants but Watkins were also convicted of tampering with evidence. Meggs, Harrelson and Watkins were also convicted of a conspiracy to prevent members of Congress to discharge their duties. The same three defendants were all acquitted of property destruction at the Capitol.
During the nine-week trial, prosecutors contended that the group, at Rhodes’ direction, prepared for an armed rebellion against the government shortly after Biden was projected to be the winner of the 2020 election. Government attorneys painstakingly reconstructed thousands of text and Signal messages sent among key players in the alleged conspiracy during that crucial time period — as Trump falsely claimed to be the victim of widespread fraud and his allies began mobilizing to help him subvert the election results.
Some of Rhodes’ lieutenants, including Meggs, Watkins, Harrelson and Caldwell, were heavily involved in those conversations or, prosecutors claimed, deleted evidence of their involvement. Several others charged in the seditious conspiracy plot are slated to go on trial next month, and another group of Oath Keepers facing obstruction charges for their own Jan. 6 actions are scheduled to go on trial in February.
Throughout the two months after Election Day, Rhodes employed increasingly bellicose rhetoric to urge on supporters to reject the incoming Biden administration, suggesting at times that he and other Oath Keeper allies should resist the authority of the government and even take up arms against it if Biden were to be inaugurated. He mounted a public effort to persuade Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, a 19th-century statute that he claimed would permit Trump to deploy the military and deputize the Oath Keepers as a government-backed militia in order to prevent the transfer of power.
But prosecutors noted that Rhodes repeatedly told followers — using rhetoric drawn from the Revolutionary War era — that they would have to take matters into their own hands if Trump didn’t act. He was present outside the Capitol while a mob of Trump’s supporters ransacked the building and bludgeoned police lines, celebrating the crowd’s actions while two dozen of his allies were inside.
And he later lamented after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that his supporters opted not to bring their rifles to Washington.
Defense attorneys contended that Rhodes and the other four Oath Keeper defendants were prone to violent rhetoric but took no effort to back up their words. They noted that they left their firearms arsenal at an Arlington, Va., Comfort Inn on the day of the riot. They traveled to Washington to perform security details for speakers at Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally and related events, including figures like longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and event organizer Ali Alexander, who were among those in a Signal chat with Rhodes shown by prosecutors and defense attorneys.
Rhodes’ lawyers said he didn’t order or authorize his allies’ decision to enter the Capitol during the riot, and some witnesses said he later described their decision to go inside as “stupid.” The Oath Keepers also had a practice of establishing an armed “quick-reaction force” alongside security operations they participated in, just in case events turned violent — not an arsenal meant to overthrow the government, their attorneys said.

Sleeping Dogs (1977)
"I won't kill people."
"Nobody's asking you to, just push the button!"
#sleeping dogs#1977#roger donaldson#new zealand cinema#christian k. stead#ian mune#arthur baysting#sam neill#nevan rowe#warren oates#ian watkin#clyde scott#donna akersten#william johnson#don selwyn#davina whitehouse#melissa donaldson#bernard kearns#bill juliff#novel adaptation#donaldson's adaptation of Stead's novel Smith's Dream (inspired by the author's involvement in anti Vietnam protests) was a watershed#moment for NZ cinema; the first NZ produced film to see wide release in the US‚ it was also a major factor in the country establishing its#own Film Commission. a minor masterpiece of budget filmmaking‚ with pretty much every member of the cast doubling up as crew behind the#scenes. Oates (the only name actor at this point; this was way before Sam Neill's iconhood) did the film for peanuts and a holiday in a#country he'd never been to. the script is wonderful‚ and what might have very easily been a naive anti totalitarian treatise is instead a#bitingly sharp condemnation of fence sitting and the apolitical. Neill's protagonist is a small man in a mad world of extremism and#absolutists‚ but he does everything he can to avoid picking a side‚ way beyond the point of reason‚ to the point of madness. only when his#entire life has been upended‚ when the world as he knows it is non existent‚ is he forced to take action; long after the viewer has#screamed themselves silly begging him to just.. do something. to open his eyes to the injustice and horror and violence. maybe there's a#lesson there.. maybe this is a film for the ages. certainly it's one of the best I've seen in a very long time

So I've been working on reference sheets for the past handful of weeks. And because it's pride month, I thought I'd share some of my lgbt background charecter OCS.
Basically I watched the CGI series and every now and then I saw someone who I liked, so I gave them a personality lmao.
I should note Emily's crew is currently in the works, I want to make them lesbians but I'm still figuring that out cause it's set in the 50s and i gotta research women in railways ect.
Also I'm a little afraid to share them cause they mean a lot to me so be nice lmao /Lh
Anyways, Ref sheets!

Damn, you can tell who I drew first and who I draw last based on how animated they are lmao
From top to bottom. (There more fleshed out then this I swear)
Harry: he's shy and awkward (same). But also a sarcastic little shit. I love him. He's stronger then he looks. He's not the greatest with the trucks, in fact he's actually really bad with them. But it's okay because Annie and Clarabel have adopted him pretty much.
Roy: out going and chill, I want Roy to be my friend. He's fantastic under pressure which is great, because there's often chaos in Knapford. He'll sometimes bring in colouring sheets mixed in with paper work for the assistants if he knows they've been having a rough day.
Alan: I projected my anxiety onto this poor man. He's a really good cook, and he had never stepped foot on a train before landing the job as sir Topham Hatts assistant. Something that a lot of people find strange.
Steven: bubbly and friendly. Always helping out. Bought a wooden railway set for the breakroom once and it got so chaotic that it nearly injured a railway inspector got banned. Oops. (That inspector is fine btw.)
Tony: chaos. He knows not to do most of the things he does but does them anyway cause why not. He once set fire to his uniform, and is now no longer allowed matches unless supervised, though he now carries around playing cards.
Bob: also chaos but more controlled. More of a "this seems stupid. But it won't kill us so let's do it anyway" kind of guy. Also someone who I want to be my friend. He's makes some of the worst dad jokes ever.

I haven’t seen this grim grind house oddity since the 80s and just stumbled across it on Tubi, it’s easily the complete antithesis of a Christmas movie but I was too curious not to watch it again now
