Turtle does eventually become a millionaire on the show (through a tequila venture, not shoes) but is still nice enough to be Vince's driver.

That is a problem. I was responding to the claim that public defenders "put away" a lot of innocent people.

I resent generalizations like that. There are a lot of incredibly decent, hard working public defenders out there.

I don't consider anything Brendan Dassey says to be credible at all.

habeas corpus is petitioned in federal court. this is used after all state remedies are exhausted.

I feel so sorry for Brendan Dassey. It seems extremely unlikely a federal court finds constitutional coercion based on the fact pattern. I don't see a way out for him.

I've never heard of someone calling Kanye mediocre before but then recommending people listen to Chance and Kendrick instead. This is a very strange place.

Sorry for the confusion. I said I believe it's his stylistic "take" on Japanese horror (even if it is a remake of a Mexican horror film, that surprisingly is a vast improvement on the source material) filtered through his usual theme of the deterioration of the American middle class.

It's horrific but not drawn out, if that makes a difference.

I recommend the filmography of director Jim Mickle, which consists of four films that can be found across Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu Plus. One of the most exciting "indie-horror" directors I've discovered recently, and all four films are remarkably well made and span various sub genres.

A friend told me Netflix is worth more than CBS. I had no idea.

Interested in why the author thought bone tomahawk got lukewarm reviews. 88% on Rotten Tomatoes (100% among "top critics") and 71% on Metacritic is very good for a "horror-western."

Dassey's lawyer is an interesting situation. He had a reasonable strategy, but lost sight of the fact that whether it would have resulted in a better outcome for his client or not, his client needed to make the final say in that. The interesting part to me is whether he truly believed Dassey was facing pressure from…

In my point of view, SCOTUS criminal procedure caselaw actually makes strange bedfellows with the conservative bloc. Justice Scalia in particular has been one of the most ardent supporters of fourth amendment privacy rights in the last decade.

Atsa one spicy meatball

To those in the industry, this is known as "Dump Month"

It made all the money there was.

Isn't everyone in the paranormal community a fraud? Surprisingly high percentage of people I've talked to who actually believe in ghosts. It's very strange.

Question I had for people that saw The Hateful Eight. Wasn't the gang taking an enormous risk that the Hangman wouldn't recognize all of them if he was this notorious bounty hunter and they all had 5 figure bounties on their head?

Yeah. At that point I still had no idea idea whether Madsen and Roth were both even involved.
