Sometimes it feels like
No is just a sound that one makes to warn of danger
Like a train whistling or a flashing red light
No couldn’t stop the wreckage           As much as we wish it would
No       No       No
— Christopher Soto, from “Then A Hammer // Realized Its Life Purpose,” Diaries of a Terrorist

One part of abolition that’s always moved me is its creativity: that is, when someone says, 'Well, how would society function without police or prisons?' This shows the possibility for imagination—that one can imagine a world kept in line without guns, a world without massive cages. So abolition forces us to use our creativity, to imagine different ways of being together.

The hands of my lover yesterday praised my whole body. Made angels from my lips. Ave Maria. Full of Grace

Sitting on the couch // In our therapist’s office
There was a coffee table between us
Blocking the connection
Mostly our memory goes blank
It feels like looking at the sun // Big black blotches where there should be bright
Sometimes it feels better for the image to be disappeared
— Christopher Soto, from “Then A Hammer // Realized Its Life Purpose,” Diaries of a Terrorist

The full behind the scenes look at Mortal Kombat (1995) that aired on TNT prior to the film's theatrical release.
This is a great special, and it further frustrates me that this movie never got the special edition treatment, when it came to the DVD and Blu-ray releases.
You'd think that this movie would have gotten a New Line Platinum Series DVD at least when Deadly Alliance was coming out back in 2002, but there was nothing along those lines.
And the Blu-ray that Warner Bros. put out was not much better. Sure, it had better quality, but it was still lacking in special features (other than The Journey Begins as a feature, which was trash).
I would LOVE for this movie to get either the 4K treatment from Warner Bros. or even a collector's edition from Shout Factory, but who knows if either will truly happen or not?
A real shame as I feel this would make an excellent special feature. Enjoy.
