The Short on Shorts: We Make Movies Chicago Filmmakers Screening Series

Yesterday, as the title of this article implies, I attended the We Make Movies Chicago Filmmakers Screening Series. The mini festival, which aired the work of local filmmaker at the Facets theater, began with a two hour block for professional short films. I was privileged enough to see seven incredible shorts, and I will be giving a short review of each of them here. In 2024, I want to attend…

Nah bc why do I feel like Netflix and the st writers are beefing so hard rn bc of the strike that someone from the production leaked the casting for Linda Hamilton so that the reveal on Tudum would be super anticlimactic…

I also thought Chase Stokes was sort of random for a host, but considering OBX 4 literally just started filming days ago, it’s almost like they’re rewarding those that are being most loyal to Netflix 👀

I feel like the quotes about Paul and Linda from John's St. Regis Hotel interview (Sept. 5, 1971) get so much attention that it's easy to miss some of the more minor wtfery:

John: So now I feel like going out on the road. I feel like going out with Yoko, and taking a really far-out show on the road, a mobile, political, rock and roll show, a mobile, political Plastic Ono Bandshow. . . . Yoko: With clowns as well. John: . . . and have something going on in the foyer, and something going on in the audience, and not just everything on stage. Int.: When you say political, what do you mean exactly? John: Well, I mean political, because everything I do is political. I would take people with me who could speak to the kids, who could speak to them in the foyer, catch them on the way out. Panthers. Weathermen. They can hand all their gear out.

Pour one out for the tour that never happened, featuring John and Yoko on the road with the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, and clowns.

se encuentra contra la pared, arrancando pedacitos del papel tapiz para hacerlos un bollo y aventarlos por la habitación. a diferencia de la mayoría, ni siquiera tiene intención de rebuscar entre las habitación y supuestos tesoros, da por hecho que nada le será de utilidad, por lo que busca otro tipo de entretenimiento. carcajada se le escapa cuando otre se atraviesa y bollito que acaba de lanzar con la intención de embocarlo en un agujero le da en la cabeza al ser en cuestión. sin embargo, risa se corta al ver seriedad en facciones ajenas. "¿ups?" sonrisita brilla mientras alza uno de sus hombros en aparente inocencia.

I think the scratched out character is whoever Linda Hamilton is playing. I love that Karen is finally going to find out what’s going on lol! I’m here for it! And Murray lives! 😆 Also the song on the sign to Hellfire Way is Master of Puppets by Metallica! 🤘🏻

Happy Paddy’s Day, loves. It’s been a special one for sure. I haven’t celebrated in my Irish hometown for quite some time, so I feel exceptionally privileged today. Myself and Pa roamed the streets of Dalkey from 10am-11pm, only heading home to check on our aunt every couple of hours. She’s hard work, bless her, but at 94 years of age you cannae blame her. Hope everyone’s has a decent weekend. Here’s to good health🫡

' ay, moschino, tú no puedes comer ésto ... ' tener a su mascota consigo sirve de enorme consuelo, puesto que aunque no ha salido herida ni ha presenciado sucesos traumáticos recientes, el encierro y sus condiciones no la tienen muy tranquila. está en el comedor aprovechando el tiempo que tiene junto a su perro, un doberman que ya cumplió sus cinco meses, luchando por comer algo sin que cachorro arremeta contra su plato cuando la duda le entra: ' ¿o si? —— ¿tú sabes si a los perros les hace mal el pollo? '

A rare party switch in the Missouri House could be in the offing after one Republican on Wednesday wasn’t allowed to speak against a GOP plan to restrict gender-affirming care for minors.

Rep. Chris Sander, R-Lone Jack, one of two openly gay Republicans in the Legislature, said Wednesday that local, state and national Republicans needed to decide whether gay and transgender Republicans were welcome.

“If they want to tell all Republicans who are gay to get out and go to the Democrat Party, they just need to do that,” Sander, a 2001 graduate of Hazelwood West High School in St. Louis County, told the Post-Dispatch.

Sander was one of three Republicans to vote against the restrictions, which are headed to Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, for his consideration.

House Majority Leader Jonathan Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, and Rep. Gary Bonacker, R-House Springs, also broke with their party to vote with Democrats against the ban.

Sander, who said he is Republican committeeman for the Van Buren Township in Jackson County, said he planned to speak at the county party’s May 22 meeting.

Members of the county GOP have tried to censure Sander for filing a resolution that would overturn Missouri’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, which was nullified by a 2015 Supreme Court decision.

“I’m going to rail against them and I’m going to say how I think it should be, and if they don’t like it, they can just get rid of me, and if that happens then I’ll be an independent or a Democrat,” Sander said, adding he might also consider becoming a Libertarian if he left the GOP.

“If they kick me off that (Jackson County GOP) committee, I will not be a Republican,” Sander said.

If Sander were to quit the GOP, he would join a short list of other House members over the past decade to leave their political party.

In 2015, then-Rep. Keith English, a Florissant Democrat, said he was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent.

“This is no longer the Democrat Party of Bill Clinton or John F Kennedy. I’m leaving the party because I love my state,” English said at the time.

English’s decision to ditch the Democrats followed another Democratic defection a day after the 2014 midterms.

Then-Rep. Linda Black, who had been a Democrat from Desloge, switched to the Republican Party a day after the election after she ran unopposed.

Her St. Francois County district had a long history of electing Democrats but voters there have bolted to the Republicans in recent election cycles.

Sander’s eastern Jackson County 33rd District is roughly 58% Republican and 39% Democrat, according to an analysis of the district’s partisan makeup.

“I can see myself winning an election as a Republican or a Democrat or an independent,” he said.

Republicans controlled 117 seats in the House in 2015 following Black’s switch.

The GOP now controls 111 seats despite continuing to hold a two-thirds majority.

Democrats hold 51 seats following Democratic Rep. Rasheen Aldridge’s resignation this year to join the St. Louis Board of Aldermen. Parson has not called a special election to replace him.
