"It seems to me that one thing we should be trying to keep in mind these days is the phrase, “It could be worse.” This book shows us a much-worse time and its tragic effects on a group of tender friends/lovers/artists. We should energetically protect our system, and try to heal the toxic divisiveness afflicting us, and resist the lies being routinely promulgated, from above and on social media, because when a system fails, the victim is human decency – all these dear hearts suddenly living reduced, fearful, degrading lives. We have, as Paul Simon put it, “lived so well, so long” that we may be in danger of forgetting that the results of chaos are real."

"“I hope to build a house with my films,” Fassbinder famously said. “Some of them are the cellar, some are the walls, and some are the windows. But I hope in time there will be a house.” For me, the front door to that house is The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I first watched it when I was home from college one December, and my young and impressionable mind was instantly changed. The use of long takes, the meticulous, ever-moving camera direction, the outlandish costumes, the emotional cruelty, the wigs . . . Fassbinder finds beauty in despair, and despair in beauty, but ultimately knows that the real truth lies in the costume changes."

Haunted Secerts

The Lodgers- is anethor haunted house horror film. Thats really all this movie it. It does though have good scary, a good plot, good horor. But its downfall lies within that its slow and takes it time.

The plot: A family curse confines orphaned twins Rachel and Edwards to their home, in punishment for their ancestors' sins. Bound to the rules of a haunting childhood lullaby, the twins must never let any outsiders inside the house, must be in their rooms by the chime of midnight, and must never be separated from one another. Breaking any of these rules will incur the wrath of a sinister presence that inhabits the house after midnight.

Its okay.

The amount of lies being debunked (0 more)

Hearing about the allegations again (0 more)

Take that accusers!!

A young boy called Jordan chandler was one of Michael Jacksons biggest fans, him and his mother became good friends of his but befriending this family became the biggest regret of his life as he was accused of abusing him, which encouraged 5 more accusations once they knew they could get money from him. This documentary was put together by the people who knew him best, every single accusation is debunked and fact checked with phone interviews and documenting evidence. Completely blows everything out of the water.
If you have any doubt whatsoever that Michael was innocent, then give this a watch.
