On the off chance you're at all interested in having a conversation, what are you talking about?

There was the Holy Eucharist Church in a town I used to live in, and every time we walked by it my friend would say "Holy Eucharist, Batman!" and we would crack up.

I'm pretty sure it's reasonably well accepted that Mr. Armstrong was an above-average trumpeter.

@GoodShotLeibovitz:disqus That's actually not a bad way of describing it. I suppose one of the reasons why RocknRolla appeals to me (and possibly you) so much more than his other films is that not all of the characters are stupid enough to be pure cogs. Case in point: Idris Elba's guy, who's reasonably intelligent.

Flagged - I can't read Hebrew, but just being safe.

Right, forgot about that.

What was wrong with Rocknrolla? I thought it was a good film and he was good in it. Never expected Guy Ritchie to have a prominent and non-embarrassing gay subplot.

Uh…  yeah, you may have a point there.

"a largely non-black cast"? Is there a single black person with a speaking role in it? I thought that in a weird way, that was one of the really cool things about the film - a giant "fuck you" to anyone who thinks that people who happen to mostly tell stories about black people are incapable of expressing ideas that

Reply to above: actually I guess that's kind of true, a friend of mine went to jail for a protest and I suppose there was some inspiration there. But for the 99% of other cases, it's just kind of boring, shitty, potentially dangerous, and fucks up a bunch of the rest of your life.

I think that might have something to do with why she chose that title. Although I agree with you that the phrase is irritating.

By and large I think so long as you're respectful and don't squeal out "tranny" whenever you see one, that's considered progress.

I'm not in the habit of selling wolf tickets either, but that's because I don't know what they are. So…?

Spoiler alert: all true stories about why someone went to jail are depressing.

Does he have many anti-patriotic ones?

When my daughter was 5 she used to repeatedly demand that I play the song about the broken man. Good times.

Could be Barrett's Privateers, could be The Bluenose. Hell, it's on the damn dime, it ought to count for something!

People have pointed out Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and The Black Album, which are his stone-cold classics. I would also suggest MTV Unplugged, which really is pretty frigging awesome.

I thought it was DJ Kay-Slay.  No one knows what I'm talking about. Which is hardly unusual.

I'd put One Day It'll All Make Sense above anything else he's done other than Resurrection. Can't stand BE - although maybe I should give it another try, only listened to it maybe three times and it's just too frigging sensitive for me.
