Screenshot from the movie Taken of Liam Neeson talking on a early 00s cellphone. He is warning the kidnappers of his daughter that he has a very particular set of skills, skills that he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like the kidnappers... he will look for you, he will find you, and he will kill you.
Screenshot of linked CBC article which reads "Rizqy claims that despite warnings, Hinse and former Liberal leader Pablo Rodriguez wanted to violate National Assembly rules by hiring staff paid by the legislature for partisan purposes, which circumvents ethics rules."
Black & white image of Michael Caine and Nigel Davenport dressed in Nazi desert uniforms sitting on a floor of straw. Caine has the faraway look of a man whose soul has been emptied by the horrors of war. Davenport is looking at him sideways, also soulless but hardened.

Excerpt from the Letterboxd call sheet, their email newsletter, where they talk about the new Shane Black movie Play Dirty. In the text, they refer to Parker as a "thief with a moral code" which is the exact opposite of what he is and the entire point. Just fucking astounding. Here is the text from the entire section: The Nice Guys director/co-writer Shane Black—who came up providing the screenplays for such landmark actioners as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout and The Long Kiss Goodnight—emphatically reasserts his commitment to a certain kind of action movie with the spry and savage Play Dirty. It’s a new story based on Donald E. Westlake’s (writing as Richard Stark) legendary Parker novels, which provided the basis for such films as Point Blank, The Outfit and Payback, all of which renamed the central character, a thief with a moral code. Here, Mark Wahlberg plays Parker, who is out for revenge after he is betrayed by a fellow criminal, something you should never do to Parker, a character hailed by Quentin Tarantino in his recent book Cinema Speculation. (Westlake is having quite the resurgence this year—Park Chan-wook’s upcoming film No Other Choice is also based on his book The Ax.) LaKeith Stanfield classes up Play Dirty in support as a helpful thespian crook, and there are spirited turns from Rosa Salazar, Nat Wolff, Tony Shalhoub and Chai Hansen. Here’s hoping enough people watch this ridiculously fun movie to justify a whole series of these. Black spoke to Dan Mecca about his favorite crime movies for Journal. Now on Prime Video.
Photo of a paragraph of a page of a paperback which reads: "It was her eyes, however, that could throw the match in the gasoline. They were large and very lovely, fringed with long dark lashes, and they were brown--not soft or fawn-like, but self-possessed and cool with a hint of the devil in them, a devil not too well tied up and only half asleep. You had an impression that if she ever really turned them on you with that sidelong come-hither out of the corners and from under the lashes she could roll your shirt up your back like a window-blind. Mrs. Cannon was a large order of girl; she may have killed her husband, but I was willing to be he'd never been bored when he was alive."
Tim Heidecker and Dr. San sitting in a movie theatre. Tim is pointing one finger and smiling, wearing a black button down under a black blazer with no tie. He is wearing his safe, innocent boy hairstyle, Beatles-esque. Dr. San sits slightly behind him, his long black beard contrasting with his loose-fitting white blouse, emanating serenity and wisdom but with perhaps a slightly sinister edge.

post-WWII working class man standing up and exercising his right of freedom of speech in some kind of assembly. Other men and women, seated, look up at him. At the bottom of the frame the words "JAMES HADLEY CHASE IS UNDERAPPRECIATED". This painting is part of Norman Rockwell’s series on the Four Freedoms as laid out by President Franklin Roosevelt during his presidency. The other three are freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want, all of which FDR said should be universal. This one represents freedom of speech. It’s a guy standing up to voice his opinion at a town hall meeting or similar. People use it as a meme to ironically indicate that what they’re saying is a bold stance or controversial truth.
Image of actor Ken Takakura who plays the leader of the bomber gang wearing a cool brown trenchcoat with the collar turned up. He has a lot on his mind.
Movie poster for Gross Anatomy with hyper-annoying Matthew Modine standing, holding a basketball (a sport at which he sucks) and looking smug while Daphne Zuniga looks over his shoulder and a bunch of other doctors in the background lean on a gurney. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.
