I’m reminded of Watchmen in the effort to make a sweeping drama that talked a lot about the place and character of African Americans in this country, although I think Fargo was a lot more centered. It didn’t reach the heights of the best of Watchmen, but I also thought it didn’t have nearly as many flaws.

The other possibility is they didn’t want to be known as the guys who were humiliated by a little Black kid. Are their friends the type who will tell them they were crying like babies over what was only a six year old and a cap pistol? A real gun? Sure, right.

I also hope she doesn’t show off her blowjob technique.

I think it’s less about caring about Josto and more about getting a sense of who “New York” is — they are just this vague force, sort of like KC was in Season 2, except in that season I thought Joe Bulo did a good job conveying who they were behind the scenes while acting as their representative.

Saving Private Ryan, although that was to the stabbing victim instead of the witness.

I think it was really the story of the rise of the corporate KC mob, and the end of Season 2 implied that Mike Milligan wasn’t going to be a player in that world any more than his father’s gang was going to matter after he accepted the shrunken role in the new KC.

I felt like Oraetta’s story worked well, and I think her relative calmness at the end reflected the fact that she knew the gig was up no matter what.

I am also guessing they may have forced some substantial rewrites due to difficulties with booking actors, crew and locations for what was originally planned.

I’m clearly in the minority, because I liked this season a lot. In some aspects, I think it was better than every other season, although in balance I put it a bit below Season 2 and close to Season 1.

I agree about Ethelrida, but I think Lemuel would have latched on to Ethelrida and left Satchel/Mike Milligan at the lower level where he seemed to be at the start of Season 2.

I think I was remembering this Random Roles

I think I read Myers was even more miserable and awful while shooting Cat than Carrey in Grinch.

I think this is worse than Snyder. His stuff is dumb ugly but this is the intentional ugly that comes out of someone who just hates people.

A bunch of the other Dr. Seuss TV specials like Horton Hears a Who and The Lorax are worth digging up. They aren’t as great as The Grinch, but still a lot of fun animation and songs.

That is the very first thing that jumps out at me, and I’m really surprised someone at the executive level didn’t step in sooner. The costumes, sets, makeup and hairstyles all look like garbage, barely better than Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and that is the kind of thing that has to be approved at the earliest…

It’s funny enough to be too hard to slot into a genre, which is something the Oscars hates. It commits very hard to the premise, and middlebrow voters want something that spells out more clearly that it knows it’s just a fable.

Apollo 13 was great — except for the family scenes with the awful stuff about the rebellious daughter and the craven press.

Braveheart was even worse in my opinion, and it is hard not to imagine a lot of the pitches for Gladiator being “It’s a Roman Braveheart! Only one man can battle the odds for freeeeeeeedom!”

Peppermint Patty is an eight year old left alone by her single dad on Thanksgiving. I’ll cut her some slack.

After the beating Gaetano also figured out Josto’s scheme to get him killed by the Cannon gang, and figured out Loy released him to drive a wedge between the two brothers.
