not Bridget, the concept of desertion as a crime is that it's not victimless because it harms the nation itself.

Why do you say "faux"? It was pretty legitimately anti-establishment. It hit all the marks: pro-drug; anti-war; pro-diversity; pro-equality; anti-9-to-5-life etc. Is it simply that it was a Broadway musical, which by definition makes it a corporate product and therefore politically gelded? Would you say the same thing…

You know, I'll bet Sally would have run to Megan if she'd been able to find her (or if she wasn't aware that Megan was in the middle of an audition that would get ruined). Megan could have been Sally's first choice (before she resigned herself to that $25 cab ride). (She told Glenn that she was "at Megan's," not "at…

My favorite Ray Wise moment in Robocop is during the climactic shootout outside the abandoned factory. Wise is just a generic Verhoven scumbag villain in the movie, but he's got this great bit where one of the other villains (the bald guy who ended up with a big role on ER) gets covered in corrosive acid and is…

I hated the way he whiffed the line "I didn't do anything" — pronouncing it "I didn't do anything" rather than "I didn't do anything." That was high-school-play level acting. (So was his delivery of the "We need a baby for the diorama" joke.)

He's also got a tiny role in the Nastassia Kinski version of Cat People (from 1982 or thereabouts). There's a television showing a soap opera at one point, wherein Ray Wise is wearing a doctor's white coat, with a woman comforting him. As we watch, he pounds his fists against a Formica counter and exclaims "I feel so h…

You keep asking if it's "necessary" — like, would the idea successfully get across if they didn't show it — as if that's the only criterion.

Oh, that's quite clearly where we're going. it's not an accident that they cast Leland Palmer as, basically, the devil.

The fact that Don covers the 8.5 K without a second thought is a Coen-Brothers-level irony.
