35+ straight man here, and yeah, he seems fun. Have really enjoyed his more comic stuff - he was great in the French Dispatch. The next in a rich lineage of impossibly good-looking people who are also willing to take the piss out of impossibly good-looking people (Mr Gosling and Mr Pitt being the two most recent bearer…

This is how Ree Drummond’s family, the one she married into and has made bank on as “The Pioneer Woman”, made their money and got their land.
And brings up the intrinsic homophobia behind Garrison’s conspiracy -- clearly the creepy gay guy (Clay Shaw, played by Tommy Lee Jones) must have had something to do with it!
Well, that is truly horrifying. It’s not the most poetically rendered line of dialogue, but I always think of how powerful Marge Gunderson’s line from ‘Fargo’ is: “And for what? For a little bit of money? There’s more to life than a little money, you know.”
These were not in the original Jurrasic Park movie—they were were in Jurrasic Park: The Lost World. Basically Jurrasic Park 2. Jurrasic Park primarily featured two vehicles—square headlight Wrangler and the boxy 90's Ford Explorer.

I don’t know how people got the impression that he’s some uneducated mook that only makes gangster movies. He’s got intelligent things to say about Edith Wharton and one of his all time favorite movies is Tales of Hoffman. His movies are about lots of different people and ideas.
Scorcese doesn’t just make movies about Italian gangsters, you know. He’s made movies about such things as the Dalai Lama’s exile from Tibet and about Japanese cryptochristians. He’s a man of the world who is interested in all cultures.
What we’d like, better than additional ticket sales, would be an intermission and the accompanying additional concessions sales.
But is there the Toxic Masculinity that typifies all of that hack Scorsese’s work?
it’s easy to put too much blinker fluid in
A Pontiac Firebird, it didn’t pull any tail in the trailer park I lived in, should’ve gotten the V8 I guess.
