I would play the SHIT out of Crazy Cybertaxi!

Katy O’Brian has serious Snoo Snoo energy:

With KOTFM he made more than one poor choice with the source material. Having read the book—twice—Scorsese’s adaptation was fine, but not stellar.

This is a reductive take. While I loved Killers and didn’t find the length burdensome, it’s a bad faith take to say that people who can’t get on board are lowbrow idiots (which is what I interpret your comment to be saying).

Three and a half hours is difficult. Many people don’t have that in their day to give all at…
