I tend to think Betty's character arc is about her marrying young. Having discovered that what she wanted isn't what she wants, Betty finally asserts herself and starts pursuing life for herself. The problem is that she didn't really want to be a mother, and the kids get in the way of her self-revitalization. So…

Seriously? Did you watch the clips above? And those were the ones Rabin selected as the most tolerable parts of the movie.

It's against Protocol. Haven't you read?

Was Josh's shrug at counting.

FOOTBALL IS FOR PUSSIES. REAL MEN FENCE.

Nine Days. Nice.

So the real issue here isn't that I feel entitled to free entertainment. But I feel no sense of moral responsibility toward huge media conglomerates. I think of the "we own the rights to this string of ones and zeros and you have to pay us for them" as an arbitrary construct with no basis in natural law. And the…

Clockers is totally awesome and underrated.
