Everything You Need to Know About Steven Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’

I remember this movie so very well!! It meant a lot then … it means even more now!! … “This story is not only a product of its time, but that time has returned, and it’s returned with a kind of social fury,” Spielberg explained to Vanity Fair in 2020. “I really wanted to tell that Puerto Rican, Nuyorican experience of basically the migration to this country and the struggle to make a living, and to have children, and to battle against the obstacles of xenophobia and racial prejudice.”

In the words of Stephen Sondheim, “Something’s Coming” — and it’s Steven Spielberg‘s musical debut, “West Side Story.”

The highly anticipated film adaptation makes a series of firsts (and seconds).

The Texas whistleblower website, where nosy uptight Yee-Haw MAGAt fucksticks with too much time on their hands can report on their neighbors who they suspect might maybe be thinking about getting an abortion, has been shut down…again.

For now, the whistleblower site is redirecting to a anti-choice site until they can find a permanent hosts that doesn’t mind religious zealots entering personal information that doesn’t belong to the persons doing the entering. The fact the whistleblower site is redirecting to an anti-choice site proves it’s purely political. Being that is is religious, it should have no function with government, city, state, or federal. There’s this thing in the United States Constitution that knuckle-dragging fundamentalists find very inconvenient that says something about separation between church and state.”
