Hell, I'm not even certain Bodie was a bad dude. He killed Wallace, to be certain. But he regarded himself as a soldier who was following orders from the general of his 'army', and a good soldier does what he's told. He obviously took no joy in it—compared to the dead-eyed calm of Snoop and Chris in later seasons, he

Of all the ridiculous bullshit in Kill Bill, the note that rang absolutely false to me was that the titular Bill was apparently a big fan of comic books.

Oh, shit. That thing with the dynamite hadn't even occurred to me. Jesus Christ.

I too watched Death Proof twice because I figured that I simply MUST be missing something, that it can't possibly be as ugly and stupid and hollow as it appears.

I understand the criticism of Landa getting suddenly bested at the end, but I don't share it—mostly because it felt pretty plausible to me.

I think you mean The Hi-Hats, the Soho-based gang composed entirely of mimes.

Watch out for Moonrunners (not that you shouldn't always)

As a side note, in a movie full of "gang members" who look like they weigh about 140 pounds, Fox was in a footrace with Rembrandt to be the wimpiest Warrior ever to get beaten up by mean Girl Scouts.

Delightfully, the overalls-wearing rollerskaters were called "The Punks".

It was the Salusa Secundus for the British Empire.

It's interesting to see lawlessness without the trappings of lawlessness. I remember how startling it was to see Max pull up to … a house. Just a normal house, with grass and, like, people living in it.

I remember the Neck Kickers fondly and how they'd kick you right in the neck.

Nah, "The Subtles" controlled the turf between 43rd and 44th streets. The uniform was a herringbone hunting coat and calfskin jodphurs, and their gang sign was a faint scent of musk and lilac.

That game was far better than it had any right to be.

Stephen Hawking could make it through the Orphans territory flashing Oxford colours all the way.
