I don’t suppose anyone else here has seen Cargo-200, but there’s a plot line where a 16- or 17-year-old girl is kidnapped by a cop. She keeps threatening the cop with the return of her boyfriend who’s in the army; the cop discovers that the boyfriend was killed in Afghanistan so he steals his body, throws it in the…

There was a Coney Island exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum last year, and they had just the woman on a pier scene on loop as part of it. I saw maybe two seconds of it and that's all I could handle, despite the scene being totally innocuous and me not having seen the movie in 15+ years.

I own it, but I had to hide the DVD because I'd get creeped out just seeing it on the shelf.

So many fun lines in this one, but I definitely winced when the word "soulmate" was uttered. (Maybe it's just my Dawson's Creek PTSD talking..)

I'm pretty ok with gross-out stuff, but I'm super claustrophobic so the scene in Kill Bill where she's buried alive gave me a panic attack.

I'm in Brooklyn and there are at least five 24-hour diners within reasonable walking distance (15-block radius).

That might be a thing with old school / religious ceremonies, but this was a communist wedding circa 1980 so I think it's just them looking "serious about building communism together" or whatever. Everyone in the photos (a dozen or so people, including children) looks like they're facing a firing squad.

My parents are Russian and in all their "official" wedding photos, everyone is completely stone-faced; it's both creepy & hilarious.

He prefaced it by asking Olbermann whether he missed sports, so I think he's doing the same thing.

Was it this one?

They hit all those notes, but then took it to a darker place, which I thought was satisfying.

Oh then this changes things completely for me.

I don’t know what the owner-to-renter ratio is on the UWS, but I’d guess it’s more about school quality than anything else. Having said that, the fact that school quality and racial makeup are so closely correlated is not a coincidence and is completely inexcusable.

Completely agreed.

Agreed; in fact, that’s happening in my neighborhood (neither side wanted the consolidation): https://www.nytimes.com/201…

It’s both, but I don’t think the distance is the real issue; it’s only a 15 min walk.

I don't think it's that inconsistent with the rest of his work (at least not to the point that people would like Mulholland Drive, but not anything else). It's not his Jackie Brown…

Depends… I remember during the last writers strike, Stewart, Colbert & Conan would do a bunch of appearances on each other's shows — but they weren't direct competitors at the time.

There was a period around 1998-2001 when I watched a ton of movies in theaters; I've never walked out of a movie, but there are two that were so bad that I can't remember a single thing about them:

I think you're right… Twin Peaks is like a spiderweb — it starts with the murder and spirals outward, so we learn about the town and its inhabitants as they relate to that murder (e.g., the Norwegian business deal serves as the background for Leland learning about the murder). Riverdale is more of a connect-the-dots…
