Jesus fucking Christ. Is there any subject Bill Maher isn't an ignorant asshole on? His "weirdo D list producer" was a wildly influential DIRECTOR, and BTVOTD was one of the top grossing studio films of 1970 We'll be talking about Russ Meyer long after Maher is dead & forgotten

This is not how you behave when you're protesting someone you have political differences with. It is, however, how you behave when you're protesting someone who's actively working to kill you.

BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us. 🧵

Has a movie ever had a sequel in a different genre than the original? E.g: a rom-com original followed by a horror sequel set in the same world with the same concept.
