Tony makes dumb videos here on Laser Time, and occasionally writes goofy things like this. Follow him on Twitter for lots of shorter, goofier things that are way less clever.
Race following in the on-the-nose-steps of “Loving”.
I will totally go to bat for 13 HOURS. It’s entirely apolitical. The film’s morals are just: we shouldn’t be here and the people on the ground get screwed. Then it turns into an Alamo / last stand-style defense film. It’s seriously up there with THE HURT LOCKER as one of the best “modern” war movies.
Don’t Breathe totally earned that award (and should have gotten some kinda recognition elsewhere)
