Maybe if he hadn’t been gnawing on Timothée Chalamet’s arm during their scenes together...?

IceHippo73 — here’s that Generic Cola-Flavored Beverage I owe you....

There was that, true, and several other serious songs, but it also broke up the darkness with some often-comedic up-tempo numbers like the jury turning into a Gospel choir singing “He’s Guil-ty!” and the convicted felon counterpunctually sang how he was the victim of a corrupt and racist system (a song that has a lot…

Yeah, so was I! I heard “Hell” so much in late Nineties around New York City I was sure it was huge everywhere.

You’re...kind of obsessed with anal penetration, 420BOT.

Oh, I thought it was your point that these so-called “critics” can’t even spell “palate” right, Willoughby Stain!
