undeniably the hardest move ever pulled at the Oscars and one of the few that had a measurable impact in the real world. the mental image of 6 security guards restraining john wayne is also great.

the only detail i remember from all of the birthday parties i attended as a kid was when on of my best friends turned 9. his mom took us to the Planet Hollywood in Phoenix and we were seated at a table underneath this suspended, body double prop of Stallone from DEMOLITION MAN.

#Argentina just elected a new President -- who says he met his 1st dog while he was a gladiator in #Rome 2,000yrs ago & that he now communicates with his 5 cloned dogs though a mystic. Oh, and he also wants to legalize the organ trade, amongst lots of perfectly sane ideas.

William Belleau is unsung. there've always been natives willing to sell out their own to white folks, but the historical specificity he taps into as Henry Roan, the shame he tries to bury and the impossible situation it makes, is haunting. it's like hearing the echoes of a ghost.
