Oh, I guess that is pretty easy. The rest of the "IS IT A DREAM?!?!" stuff is just an oblique an impossible as Inception. Who knows.

Does anyone want to talk about that great scene with all-time noticable character actor and half-owl person Roy Brocksmith?

He's like Keanu. He can't really "act" well, but he has a fantastic presence and is a magnetic personality on screen despite it. I guess that's how you define a certain set of Movie Stars.

It was indelible to me that the villain was basically a nerdy looking guy with GLASSES! Just like me!

Holy shit that breakdown of the Bitches, Leave scene is amazing.

It's a harsh, brutal thing to do, but politics is knifeplay. Has any president (not staff, the man himself) after LBJ and Nixon been that personally vengeful?

Oh my god, that part is just stunning. I read an interview with Caro where he is fully cognizant of the fact that his writing is a true skill of his.

Robert Caro's biography that covers this (which is masterful, I think the chapter is called 'The Cubicle') explains that LBJ knew exactly, precisely what he was doing. The image, the plane, the immediate swearing in, making sure the coffin was on board, and most importantly, having Jackie by his side. He was supremely…

LBJ perhaps called Bobby to specifically ask HIM what the EXACT words were when basically anyone could have figured it out. But LBJ knew that Bobby loathed him and was going to get him off the ticket in '64. So he essentially asked Bobby the words that would make him president literally over the corpse of his beloved,…

Miami is a truly interesting song by U2. I don't know if they've had a more deliberately mean-sounding song that sounds just so MOCKING. Great track.

Not to be too flip about it, but that's kind of what all of society is. We all just "agree" to it, because it works out for the best, for everyone.

I didn't quite get it until the Ben Gazzara villain, Brad Wesley, started bragging about how the town was his, by explaining that it was HIM, but his reasons were basically….a bunch of shitty business came here because of him?

Great soundtrack though!

Not a particularly great movie, but a particularly great looking movie. Jan de Bont and Ridley Scott made one of the best looking movies of all time, but its merely an above-average thriller where Andy Garcia gets decapitated by an Osakan motorcycle gang, and even that moment isn't THAT interesting.

Probably Both! None of the stuff he says about guns makes any sense. Tarantino doesn't know much about guns, either, but being a gun weirdo is pretty strange, too, so, its a wash.

It really doesn't translate to American. Works wonderfully as British, but falls stiff as a corpse when brought overseas, for some reason.

The review gets at this, and maybe the movie does some of this (with the literal witchhunts?) but…the magic stuff only affects its own world, which ends up being rather boring. There's just nothing at stake.

Oh I don't know, that seems fairly reasonable to me, especially the part where the old-timey football player with the leather helmet and high-waisted pants runs out from the freeze frame and 'shows' Foxx the winning play before the lightning bolt.

By the later seasons, OZ had some deeply hilarious things happen.

Turnout was incredibly low, and it wrecked the concepts. I mean, Clinton's turnout was much, much lower than predicted (Trump didn't even get what Romney got!, and Clinton got more than that!), but the total voter turnout was well below the common model, so the 'system' that everyone was using was just….well,…
