I really liked a lot of his movies, but I'm curious what the hive mind thinks of one of his stylistic tics that really bugged me: he would have his actors address the camera directly, using it (and the audience) as a surrogate for the other actor. I get why he would do it, but I always found this objectification of…

Lenny's wife wouldn't let him go, obvs.
But no-one called Chris Isaak?

perhaps she should spell it out.

actually, the Brits are usually a bit startled that the Yanks find offence in a word they use like punctuation.

yeah. The British left have being tying themselves in knots for decades trying to be pro-Jewish and also anti-israel. Hi, Jermey Corbyn!

good plan, Flash: time travel always works out well for you.

their first album was so good… (and their shows are fantastic too)

I'd really like to read a nuanced discussion about the difference between anti-Semitism and and anti-israeli government but I don't think this is the place…

huh - 30 minutes is unusual for a drama, isn't it? And only 10 episodes too… almost BBC-esqe, in it's restraint.

oh.
oh…

dood: don't knock it, it seems to be working.

woah, woah - was that Captain America? Say it aint so Cap!
Wait, you're a Fascist now - ok, this all makes sense…

it was a greasy slice of pizza - fun at the time, but don't have one for lunch every day.

awww, that's rather sweet…. I think I'd rather watch that on a loop than this dopey gunfight movie.

how do you think they should recast? Hire a new actor and ignore it (like Bond) or recast everyone (like the New 52 reboot)?
