Trump just made them feel like someone gave a shit for the first time in FOREVER.

I know a bunch of progressives love him and smartass twitter people think that it wouldn't have mattered, but my god, there was a real reason that he cratered with minorities, and it wasn't just because he was focused on economic issues alone.

Couldn't have hurt! I just don't want to lose fact that, well, a week ago, Clinton looked in fantastic shape, was +4 in most polls, was up in everything Florida polled, had NEVER trailed or even tied a poll in Wisconsin, looked good in Michigan, PA seemed solid as always.

Sanders perhaps could have won by a good re-framing of the middle-class/economic argument, taking away the Trump frame that he could save the jobs and 'make things fair'.

Yeah, I sent that to a friend and then tried to warn it back. NO! NOOOO DONT WATCH!

No one wants to talk about Richochet and what an absurdly mean-spirited and cruel movie that was? Or the revenge plot that involved getting Denzel's character caught with a prositute and giving him an STD? Or the prison guards getting power-tooled to death?

Micheal Caine's Stalin is as epically bad as you can imagine. Instead of cockney Stalin, he has a 'Micheal Caine barely attempting a broad Russian-but-still-pretty-cockney accent." It is very, very bad.

The Bourne movies are pretty good, but the plots are impossible. The action is great, Damon is fantastic, the location shooting is awesome, good dialogue, etc.

Oh, ok, I thought you meant specific locations in NYC. But yeah, I imagine the logistics of that movie would have been terribly hard to figure out. NYC film crews and second-unit directors probably have it all figured out.

His Boston-centric stuff seems to work on his podcast, but comes across terribly on TV, for some reason. I can handle it alright when he marks out for the Patriots with cousin sal, but Simmons and Affleck talking about how Brady is the perfect fucking gentleman and defending deflategate like two angry guys in a bar is…

That would basically be like Tom Hanks being a stone-cold killer, yes?

My god that's good.

Back to the Future probably has a better script overall, but man, Die Hard is just amazing. All the beats in the first act play out so well. Fists with your toes. The Rolex from Harry Ellis. It's so perfect.

Again on how well this movie is constructed. Elllis gives Holly a watch, John gets pissed off because Ellis is putting on the moves on via the watch. That's like minute 10?

This and Back to the Future are two of the best scripts ever written. Everything is perfectly structured. Everything is setup, and then the release of setups, so nothing ever feels false or awkward.

The thing is, Hans Landa is an exceptionally well written character who has so much going on. Huge character arc, great motivations, great dialogue, cool interactions with other cool characters.

That's such a great point. The Joker in Dark Knight is, well, THE JOKER. He's literally a comic book villian wearing facepaint anda purple suit, and Hans Gruber is very close on the list, but Gruber is just….a guy in a suit who has basically no back story, no motivation besides money and crime (barely even anything…

Takagi broke the color line and had a really fantastic three-pointer, so you could see why his employees were so devastated by his death.

That's maybe my favorite setup to payoff bit in screenwriting ever. Such a memorable line "Fists with your toes" to resolve a problem (airsick on flight to LA to see his wife for the first time in months), which results in an issue for the entire goddam movie: no shoes while fighting terrorists, eventually making him…

That's basically why Ebert didn't like this movie.
