There are a few short deleted scenes that show Traxler realizing that Reese is telling the truth and giving his gun to Reese after he’s been shot at the police station. He’s a good, thoughtful cop, and Winfield and Henriksen are so perfect in those roles.

a white cop, who is revealed to have ties to the KKK, being hanged from a tree is most definitely about racism.
The not-fun explanation is that he knows it from work because there’s been criminal activity there. The better explanation is that he unwinds at the end of a long shift by going to a dance club where he’s 20 years older than the average patron and the only guy in the place rocking a plaid shirt / tweed blazer combo.

“There probably wouldn’t have been a second date for the photogenic, Tinder-crossed lawless lovers of Melina Matsoukas’ debut feature, Queen & Slim, if the first one hadn’t . . . escalate[d] . . . into . . . 132 minutes . . . of . . . increasingly heated boning.”
LT. TRAXLER: Just tell me where you are.
“Some filmmakers strive to . . . elude responsibility for knowingly poisoning people. . . . [B]ut . . . Haynes has said that he . . . infected the good people of Parkersburg.”

Beyond that, what do you want Evans to say? “Yeah, he’s right, Marvel movies suck, I guess I’ll go jump off a building”?
Something about Franco’s makeup and performance in the epilogue came off to me as “middle-aged guy who has just totally given up on taking care of himself.” It felt off for a character who’d have to be in his 70s.

Given how often NFL players are injured, and how many of them are playing while managing nagging/chronic injuries, I think it makes sense for teams to employ doctors for the same reasons it makes sense for them to employ trainers. But there has to be some process in place that deals with the inherent conflict of…
Just from a PR standpoint I really don’t understand why the Astros felt the need to respond so quickly and harshly to the initial story. I get the impulse to leap to the defense of a coworker (assuming that Taubman selectively directed his a-hole tendencies at non-coworkers). But, given the nature of the allegation…
Osuna is a terrible person, but is also one of a relatively small number of available people who can pitch well enough to be valuable to an MLB bullpen. Taubman’s very easily replaceable by the army of math/stats/econ guys who’d like to work in an MLB team’s front office.

The only happy(ish) ending I can imagine for Vincent is him leaving the city. Lori’s story is a reminder that some problems can’t be cured by a change of scenery. Vincent, though, seems to have had a genuine realization years ago that he’d rather live somewhere else, but has been stuck (or felt stuck) for various…
This may be true, but just as often, suicide can be something that is just chosen, an impulse that might not have been considered just five minutes before, which is why the suicidal are so vulnerable. It is a choice, as simple in its own way, as deciding to turn left instead of right while driving. It’s why the…
