The American President (1995)
I just kind of feel like gif-ing this movie given current events, you know?

A movie where every scene that takes place in America has a garish red and blue filter on it.
At one point there’s an exterior shot of the White House, but the flagpole above the main entrance is flying the Canadian flag. This is never remarked upon.
Later on there’s a scene where the American president – who is inexplicably wearing a Coast Guard dress uniform – gazes pensively out the Oval Office window, through which the Statue of Liberty is clearly visible in the middle distance.
The first American scene in each act is prefaced with an establishing shot that is obviously early 90s archive footage of the Empire State Building, over which a few bars of music that are not _quite_ ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ play. 70% of the Americans are played by Australians who haven’t quite got the accent down.
I have this clip from Teen Wolf saved on my computer as physicalcomedy.mov because this is my all time favorite physical comedy bit.
Nothing gets me like Michael J. Fox trying to run down a very wet & slippery hallway.

Netflix Uses Piracy Data to Select Its Programs
Netflix chooses its programming based on what shows and movies are popular on piracy sites, Netflix’s Vice President of Content Acquisition, Kelly Merryman, told Tweakers. Netflix looks at what people are downloading and then buys the rights to the titles in highest demand.
According to TorrentFreak, Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings, suggests that offering people what they want will sway them to use Netflix instead of BitTorrent as their source of entertainment. The idea may not be far-fetched, since BitTorrent traffic in Canada dropped 50% after Netflix appeared three years ago.
“Netflix is so much easier than torrenting. You don’t have to deal with files, you don’t have to download them and move them around. You just click and watch,” Hastings says.

THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU BATTLE PIRACY, MEDIA MOGULS TAKE NOTE.
good work!
You mean providing content people want to watch in a cheap and easily accessible format reduces stealing??? (Personally, this is entirely accurate - i check netflix, hulu, and amazon prime before i stream something)
IF ONLY WHAT WE WANTED WAS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX THO

i dont want to come off as insensitive by asking this, and im so sorry if i do, because obviously, i dont know the struggles you and the people of flint are facing right now and you have my condolences but: as the american government is balls and as far as i know, arent doing anything about the water crisis, shouldnt you (and others) consider moving? i know its not a great solution, and due to circumstances, youve probably thought of it already, but. yeah. im sorry if i sound like an idiot.
We can’t move because 1. Flint is one of the most poverty stricken cities in the US and 2. You cannot legally sell your home here because the water is poison and it’s against the law to sell your house when you know something like that is wrong with it
