Was he crying because he looked up to Batts or was it just that emotional-adrenaline downshift of having just enthusiastically wrestled and beat him to death for reminding him about his embarrassing childhood shining shoes?

And if you watch that Billy Batts scene, DeNiro acknowledged that Batts was "a little disrespectful" to Tommy but he didn't really seem to have a problem with him. But as soon as Tommy returns to the bar and comes up behind Billy, DeNiro immediately grabs Batts and holds him! It's the true animal reflex that even if…

Well put. Even Liotta, while good playing the slightly-scared, just happy to be accepted half-gangster, knows he's in the presence of greatness. Half of why we like him in this role (of a snitch) is the lizard-like quality of his darting eyes and the small-slit of a mouth that keeps him from being truly handsome. …

Costner is the worst, most undeserving 'serious' actor (with Adam Sandler being the reigning King - but he's allegedly a comedian) whose unremarkable appearance and laconic demeanor should forever bar him from any award ceremony!

Great Example: The Color Purple got beaten by Out of Africa? That movie has quotes so succinct and resonant that, even Black people who've never seen the movie, can finish quotes from it!

Don't forget how Chase exorcised his own demons, and charted the path of psychopaths everywhere, in Tony Sopranos relationship to his mother. Her narcissism, in so many small moments of a child's life, mutated into what effectively became a "rotten, putrid gene".

Your point is well made and very true to my eyes. Commenters will argue with you but it's the subconscious of the writer, directors, actors, Industry! that narcissistic-ally perpetuates the notion that "White is right, good and innocent (or only a little wrong, nudge, nudge) until it is corrupted by the brown Other".…

The cars would be better packed to the brim with water jugs, food and supplies if they were going for a picnic?! And there going where exactly in the DESERT?

But really Reggie and Jesse do kinda look alike…

That actually made me laugh out loud for the accidental lumping together of black people with afros and a certain shared lyricism!

They're both two faces: handsome in some light, fugly in other light. Also, they both come off as kinda scumbaggy and stupid so you feel kinda guilty thinking they're handsome.

I am confused that Laura Dern and Helen Hunt are considered not just attractive but hot (?!?!?!?!?!).

Titus "Motherfucker" Pullo was the absolute best! Best friend, best of the Fighting 13th and participant in one of the best on-screen sex scenes! And you're right, the chemistry between him and McKidd was really great! I can't say too many times that HBO made a grave, grave error cancelling it! (Can I add any more…

Yet they'll spend thousands courting 'the fans' at conventions and exhibits, make millions off merchandising, build careers off spinoffs, and hope for feature film nirvana. And they'll cite those same blogs and comments of 'the fans' when negotiating new budgets or to rally the studio for "one more season" but yeah,…

It was canned food on a cart…and remember the principal fell down stairs. I can only assume they couldn't figure out how to get car down the stairs and were a little shaken at having just killed someone they knew.

Only Rock'NRye when combined with White Castles or Coney Islands.

Seriously?! For everyone who objects to any criticism about what constitutes racism take a look at how latent, would-never-say-n*word, is just a product of their exclusive upbringing manifests from the subconscious: After all the criticism about killing off the Black men on TWD, HOW HOW HOW do the writer's not…

Frank was dumb to bring the duffel with ALL his cash into the bakery in the first place. That's what prompted the bakers to exchange looks, "He gave us $2.5M out of a bag that was holding at least another $1M?! Let's have the Mexicans gank him and split the rest with them! What kind of f#ck do we give about this…

With all the screwing they did at the cabin (and with the gusto Ani noted in Ray) is it any wonder that she would get pregnant? Life ain't convenient but I was ticked that she spent so much of her life being her own badass only to have her child-rape epiphany then devolve into the protected female trope. She should…

Especially if the bakers told the Mexicans they'd split the cash Frank was carrying with him.
