And the responses to Trump’s 4th of July speech pore in, just like the rain that poured down on it.
Freedom loving Americans find it regrettable that not a single classic movie from liberal Hollywood depicts when the George Washington Army successfully manned the amperts, ranned the ramparts, and took over the airports. https://t.co/6jsiyOwbf8

In a curious development in the history of the American revolution, it appears we had an as yet undiscovered yet decisive factor in turning the tide in favour of Washington’s Army: the failure of the Royal Airforce to secure critical airfields in 1781 :) https://t.co/uRN25dh8U2

He said the army took over the airports in the War of 1812, and that’s how we got the Star Spangled Banner. I’m pretty sure he was in a fugue state, Ari. https://t.co/SFhhjWZqXB

Trump’s misreading of basic facts of US history he appeared to encounter for the first time on the teleprompter led him to claim that Congress named the Continental Army “after” George Washington, who defeated Cornwallis “of” Yorktown, and the US army took over “airports” in 1814 https://t.co/CMYhbGwqeC

Fact check: there were no airports in 1775.#MoronPresidenthttps://t.co/OxwhMT6htV

The worst part is where he left out the part where Space Force 1 teleported Washington off the Hindenburg just before the Japanese bombed it.

We celebrate the return of @TCM's podcast, The Plot Thickens a celebration of the life and work of Lucille Ball. @BenMank77 Interview: Ben Mankiewicz Talks about Lucille Ball and Season Three of The Plot Thickens #TCMParty @TCM
When TCM jumped into the podcast game, I’ll admit, I was bit surprised. When they put forward two solid podcasts seasons centered on new and interesting content, I was impressed. Well kids, just like that, Turner Classic Movies has upped their once game again with the next season of ‘The Plot Thickens’.

I’m late to the @KnivesOut experience, but @rianjohnson has gifted us a grownup movie for *full-on grownups. It’s wonderfully sinister and dark and devilish and fun. And should be a huge hit with the good people of Bolivia. Or Peru.

The Wolf of Wall Street (Starring Leonardo DiCaprio) Movie Review
The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Margot Robbie is reviewed by Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Matt Atchity (Editor-in-chief Rottentomatoes.com), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Christy Lemire (ChristieLemire.com).
See what other critics are saying: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_wolf_of_wall_street_2013/
Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title “The Wolf of Wall Street.” — (C) Paramount

Not a movie made that wasn’t at least a little better solely for having Brian Dennehy in the cast.
