To clarify, in case you're interested: the ethics violation was that the judge discussed the deal with the DA without defense present. Basically, the DA's own office made the deal, then the DA convinced the judge not to honor it, essentially tricking Polanski into pleading guilty.* Setting aside the crime or the…

Remeber the photos Chris finds; yes, both. But also remember the opening sequence, which shows the alternative method

Even though he knows, I think he could be grossed out or peeved about it. Generally my point is you can rationalize all that behavior pretty easily in hindsight

Part of the fun for the movie, for me, was understanding in hindsight why the previous captives acted the way they did. The twist totally recontextualizes everything.
* Chris had a weird, sort-of-hostile interaction with the groundskeeper, and got the impression that maybe he had the hots for Rose (and we viewers…

spot on

It's really more of a thriller…almost no gore, very little actual violence, maybe two or three 'jump scares'. Plenty of tension, if that's a deal-breaker.

I have season 1 on DVD and never realized Kristin Wiig was involved until this very moment

That's fair, I'm not particularly up in arms about that either.

I agree that most rapists are serial offenders, and I'm even sympathetic to people who assume guilt in cases of sexual assault allegations, but you're talking about assuming guilt in the ABSENCE of allegations. That's definitely not a road anyone should go down. I mean, think of all the things you haven't been accused…

Oh, like he's going to leave us for British cuisine? What's the main course, Welsh Rarebit? GROSS

People on this very forum love to shame Quentin Tarantino for being into feet, and it always unnerves me

He can't just roam freely in Europe, because some countries would extradite him on request. Also, America has like four different kinds of barbecue, and they're all pretty good. Try to find a good barbecue joint in Europe…you can't! That's because of America's hard-scrabble pioneer tradition. Yes, as brave men and…

For all I know the Pope has a murder dungeon, but I think we could at least give the benefit of the doubt that people haven't committed crimes that nobody's even accusing them of.

Can we at least acknowledge that there's some nuance here? The prosecutors thought he deserved probation; the judge violated the state's ethics code and subsequently decided on a prison sentence, which is not necessarily something you want judges doing. The now-adult victim thinks he's paid for his crimes enough…

At the time I definitely thought it was a possibility, since they only found a charred corpse. But instead they decided to go the "no consequences" direction :/

This never occurred to me before, but they should have let him escape and go on the run, to pester Dexter the following season. The Miami PD thought he was responsible for all of Dexter's crimes, and in a scant two seasons he had already proven himself to be a Jack Bauer-level badass, so I could totally believe that…

I didn't realize San Diego had a bad food rep. I've visited a few times…maybe living in a city with no good Mexican food makes me appreciate SD more. Also, there's a lot of good eats in the Ocean Beach area.

Killing off Doakes was basically the start of a never-ending downward plunge of screenwriting mishaps.

That must be after my time. I don't want to acknowledge any Flash comics starting with when they brought Barry back and made him want to avenge his mom or whatever.

I think Reverse Flash was considered close enough that they never did Evil Barry in the comics other than him
