Boss Higgins took the time to capture Jayne's partner, lock him in that box, still somehow keep him alive, well-fed and healthy, and carefully indoctrinate him with ongoing hatred for Jayne so that if he ever came back he'd be ready to start murderin'.

The moment I actually broke out into uncontrollable laughter didn't come until the second repetition of the chorus, when everyone joyously breaks into song along with the old man and it's clear that every single person in the bar knows the lyrics by heart.

Believe me or not — it's not about me, you can easily find dozens of people who grew up in fucked-up situations who can tell you Mike's blithe assumptions of what is "normal" are kind of off. I'm…

I'll add that when comparing the book to the film, one thing I find deeply troubling about the film is that the film makes Mayella far less of a sympathetic character and implicitly implicates her a lot more in the conspiracy against Tom Robinson.

Hollywood is very slowly getting the message that "Gay = predatory sexual pervert" is not an okay lazy joke to make, but "Trans = predatory sexual pervert" will probably take another generation to purge from its lexicon.

Yes. One of the darkest unspoken gags about the whole premise of AD is that the whole family blithely ignores that far more than any other member of the family, Tobias is genuinely, dangerously, horrifyingly mentally ill, and is in fact a serious danger to himself and others to a degree where in real life there'd be…

He's not just an MD, he's a fucking psychiatrist. The biggest and most serious irony here is that theoretically Tobias is the one most qualified to diagnose and treat all the mental illness the Bluth clan is constantly saddled with and he can't because he is the most far gone into crippling insanity.

It's kind of an obvious affirmative-action thing to do but I honestly think that it adds interesting layers to the character to make Juror 8 female in a predominantly male cast. Having Juror 8 be female and keeping Juror 3 (the antagonist) male would make the scene where Juror 3 loses his temper at Juror 8 and…

As for the possibility that The Kid is mistaken about when he lost the knife, that's beyond the realm of speculation. He made a specific statement and we're given no reason to doubt it, except that it implicates him and we know he's intended to be falsely accused."
