Oh my god he did the line from Dune Messiah but unironically.
This is so funny because Mao himself unabashedly admitted his dictatorship and bragged he killed more intellectuals than the notorious Chinese tyrant Qin Shi Huang

This is the more reasonable version without the sport peppers that throw the whole thing off.
I’ve lived in Chicago for over 20 years and I still ain’t eating a hot dog with all that shit on it.

You’re not a real cinephile until you know it’s “Mamie Van Doren” and “Erich von Stroheim”. Don’t fuck that up

I would also like to do this.
Found an interesting movie prompt template. Name a [figure: director, actor, cinematographer, writer, etc.) Then you name Masterpieces (their greatest works) Essential (other great, but also obvious) Deep Dive (Stuff that is worthwhile, but more obscure)

In today’s “Actual Letterboxd Complaint,” an account just gave my only film on there 2.5 stars but looking at their account, I’m both positive they haven’t seen it and that they may never have seen any movie.

Being an american Maoist in the 70s must have been so humilating. You were getting your skull caved in by a cop, Little Red Book in hand, meanwhile Mao was hanging out with Kissinger going "Dude your wife is so hot.".
Happy Kissinger introducing Mao to his tall wife day to all who celebrate
