Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?

W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?

R: I cannot explain that

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

it’s completely fucking insane that the *treasury secretary* is out here pretending to give military briefings, and in a normal administration, he’d get fired for this

NEW: Per Nielsen linear/streaming data, 20.6 million people watched the March 1 premiere of Taylor Sheridan's MARSHALS within a week of its airing on CBS. That’s the biggest broadcast premiere without the benefit of an NFL lead-in since 2017’s launch of Young Sheldon.

It's been renewed for S2

It’s almost as if gas prices during the Biden administration were intentionally set high by the oil and gas companies to make Biden look bad…

Offbeat ad for Nicholson & Dern's THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS, in the October 13th, 1972, New York Times. This is my kind of cinema, but I can kinda see why it was easier to get audiences into LOGAN'S RUN, never mind JAWS.

I’ve never a actually watched a full episode of KNOT’S LANDING, but I still love that three of the female leads have launched a video podcast together, and are inviting on other people who were on the series to talk about it. This week’s guest: Alec Baldwin. Fun stuff. youtu.be/tVFWFPSKo2s?...

SINNERS is back in some AMC theaters starting Fri as a Fan Fave w/ discounted admission.

In NYC it's playing at 5 theaters thru Wed for around $10, which is basically 1/2 price.

I just rewatched on HBO Max and the theatrical experience is so much better. See it on a big screen if you can! #FilmSky
