"One of the show's few true good guys" who allowed a someone blameless woman to die in her bed.

I like how it was a blackjack system. At first I thought it was gonna be a "Walt got lucky on the slots" one-time thing, but with the "system," Walt could theoretically go back and "win" some more money. Or Marie can later beg Skyler to ask Walt to go back.

Doubtful that Hank will be too concerned that the money came from "gambling." Didn't he once try to set Walt Jr. up with a prostitute?

I'm sure he's still covered by insurance. Or, based on the circumstances, the DEA would find a way to get him covered.

That opening bit
Something like:

I too thought that was excellent special-effects aging makeup on Ms. Hooks, but I'm afraid it's not. Behold: gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/…

Sketch-show cast members earnestly singing carols
On SNL's first season (I believe it was the first; Chevy Chase was there), Garrett Morris sang a delightfully rocking "Winter Wonderland." The garls (Newman, Radner, Curtin) sang backup on one side and then the guys (Chase, Belushi, Aykroyd) shuffled in to sing backup…

It ain't all about the dollar bill.
You can be dead broke AND be a scholar still.

Will there be a precocious child narrator?
How about a flip book where the steak in my belly comes out of my gullet and returns to the farm?

What?

@AntiSemitron: I forgot about those Segway shots. DANG I HATE THEM.

I agree with Zack about that. I also see it as kind of an apples vs. oranges thing as well, i.e. you could logically condemn both. How would Mookie's actions have been looked at, had additional people been killed in the riots, either by the cops, or by their neighbors? Would that have been the right thing?

Also in that book about the movie I mentioned upthread, supposedly when Frank Vincent was asked to be in a movie by Spike Lee, he said, "Is that a Chinese guy?"

Based on the comments of people whom I've never met yet whose comment I often respect, I will revisit this movie in the near future.

Point taken.

Where does BAMBOOZLED fit on your list. Please say it's on another list entirely.

If I recall, according to Spike Lee's book/diary about the making of the film (which I bought back when I gave a shit about those kinds of books), the original script had that final Mookie/Sal conversation to include Sal saying something like, "Always do the right thing."

Not to start trouble, but that movie felt like it was 25 hours long. But I did like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

FRANK VINCENT IN DA HOUSE
"Moe and Joe what? Moe and Joe what?! Moe and Joe…Black. How's that?"

But with those glasses and that smile…
Why does he look like the Joker?
