Happy Stalin's death day :)

Two soldiers, waiting to board trains at Pennsylvania Station, read about the death of Stalin, March 5, 1953. Alex Fenton of Pittsburgh leans on Roger Green of East Liverpool, who holds the newspaper.

i often get asks that are like 'how do you enjoy anything' and similarly have a lot of detractors on web site who call me, like, 'joyless', and i feel like that's kind of revealing about the way these people conceptualise criticism (& especially political criticism). like esp. when i say something like 'DOOM 2016's central conceit of a heroic ubermensch righteously massacring an infinite horde of subhuman invaders is fundamentally a reactionary fantasy' i think that people assume that means i played the whole game through gritted teeth or threw it down in disgust but nah i played that whole thing and had a great time. i just also made some mental notes and thought them through afterwards. i just find it weird so many people find those things to be in abject contradiction

I was Hannah Montana and I was hiding in a five star hotel from Stalin, who wanted to kill me with his own hands.

The Death of Stalin, but the poster is... Barbie?!

Jason Isaacs stole the entire movie for me. He really turned up for a few scenes to be fabulous and unhinged

What did you think of the first episode of The Regime? I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

Neither am I—I really hope that it comes into its own and doesn't rely as much on the Veep and Succession house blend. Kinda digging Elena and Herbert's Kronk and Yzma thing, though.

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

Joseph Stalin

Can't be even funnier.

A very happy birthday to Steve Buscemi!

My fav movie genre is the one where it’s just guys chatting about one thing or another

come to think of it, more movies should introduce their characters like The Death of Stalin did

*remembering suddenly the death of stalin* my wig...

Meet the Politburo...
