@avclub-f1a42d1a90854c5c5a3df6ad2b34c7e7:disqus You do realize that what "tipped" the FBI off was Quarles' attempt to frame Raylan by having the boss's son say over a tapped phone that Raylan was a dirty cop, right?

Can I hold you to that promise?

You seriously need to watch Dollhouse. It starts out a badly, but by episode 6 it is pretty great. And Dichen Lachman is wonderful in it.

Probably no one apart from myself cares, but "the banality of evil" does not refer to evil people being boring, but to evil becoming so commonplace it is rarely, if ever, questioned or even seen as evil, e.g. in Nazi Germany. It is more about societies than individuals.

Only Yesterday is great too. It's one of a handful of movies that always causes me to cry for joy at the end (Wild Strawberries and It's a Wonderful Life being the other two).

So they are the South American Taiwan?

A qin? (also, the Li Bai poem on the page is great).

Wynn did seem pretty doubtful about Raylan being corrupt, but too afraid to press the issue.

Miike's Fudoh: The New Generation has a blowgun.

Just to be clear, I was joking about there only being one white-on-black homicide. The documentary has some horrific footage of charred bodies and white folk gathered round for photos. The website you link to is great as well.

Ummm…thread for people who have watched this?

So's peonage!

Hey, only one white-on-black homicide in all those years sounds pretty good to me.

Looks like it is already online here. Off to watch it now.

After the South fought a war to keep slavery, it seems rather odd (and self-serving) to think that Northerners (and more particularly those Northerners like Grant who seem to have actually cared about what happened to Southern blacks) are to blame for Southerners not accepting blacks.

Bottom right hand corner of photo has PBS.

Laurence Olivier would disagree.

How about Altman during the same time? The only films of his during the seventies that I can't vouch for as classics are the ones I haven't seen. Certainly, MASH, Brewster McCloud, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, The Long Goodbye, and Nashville are as good (or nearly so) as anything Coppola did. The Seventies were awesome.
