Hell or High Water is the best western in years, even if it doesn't present itself as one.

I'm going to Bovine University!

Go listen to Jeff Garlin's interview with Stern. He goes into pretty good detail about how the process works.

Those blintzes were terrible!

Don't disagree with that at all. Was clearly a passion project for the guy who was going to play Stone though, so that is where the focus was.

No, she wanted to go after Nate with Box.

She was basically disgraced and fucked up her whole career as the express instruction of Nas. I doubt she had good feelings for him after that. If it were me, I'd beat feet just to go crawl into a bottle.

Witnesses don't have lawyers who can object, only the state could and 1) she was using a disinterest strategy; and 2) the questions weren't objectionable.

Someone didn't read the whole comment.

Dude, it's cross or a hostile witness. That's when the lawyer basically testifies and doesn't actually give a damn what the answer is.

Might have been too painful. Tough guys can't show emotions, especially in prison, so he was taking it out on the heavy bag.

"All the time" is probably an overstatement, but it's certainly not unheard of. They didn't go deep on this, but she was basically a newbie lawyer who had probably done nothing but doc review and motion work and she is now first chairing a murder case. That would fuck with anyone's head.

Not at hand. But I'm an attorney. I've been reading the discipline pages of my bar journal for 20 years. I also know someone on the disciplinary panel who tells me all sorts of stuff. Believe it if you want. Don't if you want.

Happens all the time. The discipline pages of any given state bar journal will show that. The show shortcut it but he was her only client for months. She was also a very young attorney thrust into a case way over her head.

She clearly went into the tank for him. I don't really get the criticism of that turn. Characters aren't allowed to be fuck ups any more?

He needed to get evened out to be able to testify.

Yay kitteh!

One the best movie experiences I have ever had was watching that when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Place was packed with fans and everyone went bananas throughout. The "throw Keung increasingly deadly things to hit the bad guy in the face" is still one of my favorite Chan gags.

Screams.
Gently rolls out of floor waxer.

You've got something on your face?
Huh?
