Post a movie poster you used to have in your room, apartment, or house

Movie poster for "AGUIRRE[/]DER ZORN[/]GOTTES" with Klaus Kinski as the titular Aguirre, at the end of the film, looking insane with Teutonic tyranny, glaring at the far distance in wrathful 2000-yard-stare, one hand stroking his daughter's hair, as she stares into the same space, but vacantly - at least partly because she's bleeding from an arrow wound to her torso. The picture has an odd, orange cast to the skin of both characters, and a vibrancy to the greys of his rusted steel armor & helmet and the purple of his tunic. The whites of their eyes also flare oddly, as does the white of her tunic.

heartbreaking: Indomitable Spirit has pulled from freedom 250

"Mr Show": "Flat Top Tony and the Purple Canoes": the band "Indomitable Spirit" performing onstage, featuring a guy with no arms who plays guitar with his feet, a drummer who's missing his arms, a head who plays woodwind, and a woman. (It's Sarah Silverman; it's purposely ironically sexist.) The band name is onscreen, in quotes, with "(Demo Scratch)" under it.

my delta of femininity

the tri-delts, aka "Delta-Delta-Delta", on that 90s SNL series of sketches - looking sadly oppressed and confused, because being young women in our patriarchal society... you know what: just being a person in our society will do that to you - but there's definitely a specific traumatic confusion they're going through

SNL (80s): Jon Lovitz as his "Yeah, that's the ticket!" compulsive liar character, in a respectable - albeit somewhat frumpled - suit, behind a respectable desk in a respectably wood-paneled room, quoted with his catchphrase, as he's saying it with that weird glee in his eyes & smile on his face

thinking about how much more xp Indian Jones could've farmed from that tomb in the opening of Raiders

the "Sad Pablo Escobar" meme, of him sitting in his two-person swing alone, sitting at his little dinner table alone, standing in the deep end of his pool alone, all looking sad and forlorn

wow: even the Grungies have pulled out of freedom 250

"The Ben Stiller Show": "The Grungies": a 90s Grunge band, done up like the French Foreign Legion or something, walking four-abreast down a city street (with old-fashioned brick buildings), in various states of being in-step, with the wildest one (on the far-right) being, well: wild. From the left: Ben Stiller, Andy Dick, Bob Odenkirk, and Jeff Kahn.

BREAKING: The Queen Haters have backed out of Freedom 250.

"SCTV": "Mel's Rock Pile": the Queen Haters - a satirical British punk band - performing "I Hate the Bloody Queen"

"THANK YOU!?!"

"BoJack Horseman": episode "Free Churro": little boy(/horse) BoJack reeling both physically and emotionally as his aggressive father leans across the (expensive) car front seats to demand a, as he puts it, "THANK YOU!?!"

trump's "now attacked or threatened 1 out of every 13 countries in the world" definitely the party of suburban/exurban white insanity

that insane couple of the fate 40-something pile-of-shit white man in a pink polo shirt and his crazy bleach-blonde wife - with the guy wielding an ar-15, tucked under his moob, while she's inexpertly wielding some little she-pistol - like a snub-nosed revolver, but semi-auto. they're at a courthouse - remember that scene that went down?

"I'm Milli Vanilli and so's my wife"

"Monty Python: The Life of Brian": annoying man who's crucified near Brian's deathplace, where he - upon hearing that Brian's about to be released and others are claiming to be Brian - proclaims "I'm Brian and so's my wife."

democrats aren't beating the fascist accusations

WWII nazi hand-drawn, black & white flier of a picture of hitler with tape over his mouth in an x that reads "REDEVERBOT" on both axes, with the caption "Einer Allein von 2000 Millionen Renimen der Erde barf in Deutschland nicht reven!" (guessing on some of the spelling, which is in a thick, teutonic script)

"All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts"

Tim Robinson making an especially dorky, smug, idiotic face as he stares intently at the camera (he's wearing a white undershirt, a dark shirt, and is set against a white background)

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

"I Think You Should Leave": Will Forte as a deeply disturbed airline passenger, who's screaming at Tim Robinson, who sits next to him on the plane, lost in horrors both visceral and existential

“What piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god!"
