@theliamnissan It won’t end until we stop calling them “shootings” and “shooters” and start holding gunMEN accountable.

Mass shooting reported about five blocks from my home. One dead, four injured. When will this madness stop. America needs responsible gun control, goddamn it

Happy Birthday to the legendary Orson Welles 🎬
From The Third Man to The Kremlin Letter — and even the chaotic 1967 Casino Royale — Welles left a unique mark on spy cinema.
But what’s your favourite Welles performance?

The Independent's headline:
'Restaurateur couple and their two young children found dead in suspected murder-suicide'

🎶🎬Duran Duran released ‘A View to a Kill’ 41 years ago, May 6, 1985, eventually becoming the only Bond theme to ever hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Visually, the film’s opening title sequence, created by legendary title designer Maurice Binder, fuses icy espionage action with striking silhouettes and vibrant neon hues

@eek_a_dragon @JessPected We have to stop using gender- neutral terms like “shooters” when we mean gunMEN.

@JessPected School shootings too, how can they be "pro-life" when they ignore things like these. 🤬🤬🤬

I don't want to hear about birth rates or fetuses while men are routinely executing women & children. Address that actual issue instead of manufacturing a fake crisis to justify violating women's bodies.

Wealthy restauranteur, 52, kills his PREGNANT wife, their two young children and himself in horrific murder-suicide at $1.2m home in Houston's smartest suburb trib.al/2x8Cqib

@ETTD18 @broadwaybabyto Men are doing the killing, champ, so if you’re unhappy about men being murdered, address male violence.
English
@broadwaybabyto 81% of homicide victims are male.
Ten men are killed every ten minutes.
Thanks for playing.
Buy a cat.

A woman is killed every ten minutes by an intimate partner or family member.
Men whine about the male loneliness epidemic and the falling birth rate, while we fight to get femicide to be taken seriously.

And I don’t want to hear one damned word about “shooters” or “family deaths” when what you really mean is MEN killing.

So... just so we're clear... you want me to be afraid of trans women in the women's bathroom because they might be cis men pretending so they can assault women and children... and you think this reflects on... trans women... and not on cis men?
Do I have this correct?

Sheriff J.W. Pepper made a surprise return in 1974’s The Man with the Golden Gun…
Much to the dismay of 007 — and quite frankly, us.
But is he the most annoying character in #JamesBond history?

He’s been set on fire, leapt between cable cars, fought baddies on top of a train — and risked it all for Bond…

@DoubleODispatch The SWLM one is as legendary as poor Dolly's (lack of) braces and deserves its own thread, which I will get to later, I promise.

@3octaves That's Fleming's fault, I'm afraid. He had it in his head that women like that & actually said as much in more than 1 of his books, including, if I'm not mistaken, "The Spy Who Loved Me," which is even more egregious as he wrote it from a woman's perspective. The man was a ninny.

In some ways, AP films are truer to the OG Bond books than the Eon mivies.
The Double-O Dispatches@DoubleODispatch
May 2, 1997: "Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery" premiers. The raunchy James Bond spoof spawned 2 sequels & according to Daniel Craig was the reason for the more somber tonal shift during his time as Bond as there was concern the genre would no longer be taken seriously

Abortion pills are nothing new, and BTW for most of history and around the world, abortion was not criminalized, and even when it was, it was often readily available, esp if you had money and were literate.
English
@3octaves I think it's just because the scene in the movie with him and Galore in the barn is just so off-putting...it's hard to imagine this wasn't from the book. People forget Connery also had a similar scene with Tippi Hedren in Hitchcock's "Marnie."
English
@DoubleODispatch The man had many faults, but was the directors’ screenwriters’ and the Scottish ruffian’s fault that JB r aped both Fearing and PG, since those scenes were not in Ian’s work.
