Sundance film fest is going on and A24 just premiered a new film. What makes this film so special is that it’s based on a Twitter thread in 2015.

Original Twitter thread

Hence my placing it in the WTF thread. :wink:

And to amplify his point, he reached into his jacket and slipped out a single marijuana cigarette. He then pulled out a box of matches and, you guessed it, lit it up.

And the rest of the story…whew :joy::joy:

Which side are you on? I’m on the side of WTF was the school thinking showing a movie at a fundraising function? I mean seriously! Doesn’t everyone know that by owning a DVD of a movie only gives you the rights for personal non-commercial home use? It doesn’t matter if the fundraising is for a righteous cause or not, it’s copyright infringement and then of course peoples’ main argument is the classic “whataboutism”.
