i like how "illegal in the EU" means it probably violated a human right and "illegal in florida" means it probably is a human right

#Watching BURNT OFFERINGS

A #movie that should be better than it is considering all the talent involved.
It's a #film you want to like more than you actually do. Such an odd experience watching all this above the line talent in such a barely average movie.
Oliver Reed and Karen Black take their roles way too seriously as if their agents told them they would considered for Oscars. If they were campier with it the movie might not feel so bogged down.
Bette Davis, bless her. She don't give a fuck about this movie just as long as they pay her. Maybe they paid her by the cliché.
More trashy might have been more fun. But it feels like an overacted high school play only the high schoolers are old people.

right now there are trees being chopped down in Mississippi, USA. They are taken to a plant that smashes them up, makes pellets out of them, loads pellets on a truck, drives to the port, where they are put on a boat and shipped to UK. There, the pellets are taken off a boat, loaded on rail and truck to send to a electricity plant where they burn those pellets AND GET ENVIRONMENTAL $CREDITS$ for doing so, cause wood is categorized as a 'green' renewable bio-fuel #Climate

When we talk about how billionaires shouldn’t exist I don’t think people really understand the massive difference in scale between a million and a billion. One million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. It’s an unfathomable amount of money that no one should have. Even uber-rich mega millionaires - hundreds of millions - really shouldn’t exist. We need to tax the rich; they’re the real free loaders. They’re the drains on the economy. They’re the ones dragging society down.
