Knives Out 3: Knie Knives Out Knie

is it “cursing out less women?”  or “cursing out fewer women?”

De gustibus non est disputandum and all, i.e., if a joke doesn’t work for you then ok fine, but for Ebert to point out that Martin Short is “clearly not a little boy” misses the fact that said clarity is exactly the joke they were making. Like they weren’t hoping people would say after the movie “oh wow I just now real…

Ebert’s “Clifford” review was a particularly bad miss: “But Martin Short is clearly not a little boy. He is a curious adult pretending to be a little boy, with odd verbal mannerisms...” Yes Roger, that is the joke

I’d love to read an oral history of TQATD - from the snippets I’ve read here and there on the internet, it sounds like the boys-club studio execs thought they could placate Sharon Stone with a “producer” title in-name-only and then she would shut up and let the men make the decisions, only to find that she was…

And let’s not forget he was in Archie Bell and the Drells as a teenager before pursuing acting

I liked “Jackie Brown”... pretty much everything else he’s done since “Pulp Fiction” sucks

They used to have a series on here called “My Year of Flops” and in a pretty decently written “OC and Stiggs” entry Rabes gave it a well-deserved “Secret Success” designation:

[EDITED - I posted this before I realized at least 5 other people have already posted about Wheezy Joe in the comments. I’m sorry - I promise I’ll do better next time!]

I didn’t catch that - I saw Bulo at the scene outside the house, but I didn’t realize he directed the particulars of the ransacking of the room

In Season 4 the gangs in 1950's KC are clearly separated into ethnic groups, save for the “kid exchange” fable part of it.

And we actually got some dialogue (albeit short) from Joe Bulo this week!

Christ, Tom... he knows that

Indeed - I’m just saying the Joe Bulo character was introduced a few episodes ago, and it seems like, given his relationship with Mike Milligan in Season 2, that has to factor into Satchel’s transformation into Mike Milligan at some point

I think he has to meet up with a young Joe Bulo (who we saw for like 2 seconds a few episodes ago) before he becomes Mike Milligan

Bingo!  I can’t wait for Rabbi to read him Jabberwocky as a bedtime story
