I’ve been wondering how to start this, and I don’t know how I will end it. I was sitting down for a while wondering how I would do it in a way that I felt did my thoughts and feelings justice. I was wondering if explaining my own thoughts and feelings would translate to others beyond myself. After all I’m just an interpreter and my words are not universally felt. As much as I may want everyone to understand me…

The Gray Man 2022
Just read an interview where one of these bozos laughed at the notion of the cinema being a sacred space to people, and even called it “elitist”, calling a $12 movie ticket in a place as expensive as California, calling one of the most affordable communal entertainment experiences “elitist”.
