The Room (2003)

Have you ever listened to someone complaining about how their ex mistreated them? The whining, the self-pity, the one-sidedness?

That's The Room. Written, directed, produced, and starring the guy that's complaining.

There's another, much better movie called Disaster Artist that explains how The Room ever got made in the first place.

For the unfamiliar: As the head of Desilu Productions, she was the one responsible for giving TOS a second pilot.

It's not for your personal privacy, or to spare you personal embarrassment. But rather because large-scale demographic data collection is dangerous.

The Nazis used such collections to locate Jews. America used such collections to locate Japanese-Americans. The Rwanda genocide was facilitated by tribal affiliation being printed on ID cards. In none of these cases were the data collected for the nefarious purposes it was eventually used for.

Information is a form of knowledge, knowledge is power, and power in the wrong hands is dangerous.

Proof once again that church and state should be kept far, far away from one another.

Trump couldn't even manage that.

Now the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.

To the peaceful transfer of power, for one.

This probably gives Europeans too much credit.

Bush was bad. But Trump was dangerous.

Like, if Bush were somehow to be elected again I wouldn't be alarmed, I'd be annoyed.

Good. Very good. Do not enjoy yourself too much on Risa.
