It could be that the writers just suck, too. ;)

Yeah, maybe… but… are the script writers on this show that smart?

Yes, 50 years ago there was rampant homophobia.
And in 1967 TV stations wouldn't show an interracial kiss on Star Trek.

"PC"
That says it all.
A term that means "No fair! My bigoted comments aren't accepted anymore! I can't be a misogynist, homophobe or racist without being criticized for it!"

That's a screwed up comment on so many levels.
First, we're OK with two men or two women, because ITS OK. It's not unusual or abnormal or weird or sick or creepy. If you have a problem with it, it's in YOU.

I'm a 50 year old man, which is old enough to be utterly disgusted. Hell, I'm only 2/3rd his age at the most and yet she could almost be my granddaughter.

The creepiest creature in the whole show is the 20-something woman who is trying to get a disgusting old man into bed.
The whole "seduction" scene makes my skin crawl.

Well, there were drifts piled up… it didn't look right to me, and I'm from Buffalo.

Washington DC with a foot of snow on the ground? WTF?

I don't know if widths were as standardized back then…
I used to be an antiques dealers, I didn't deal in these, but some people I knew did.. there were some very very wide ones, some with side-foldouts, etc.
Part of the reason was that kitchen designs where stoves were inset into cupboards and counterspace really…

Yeah but she's creepy as hell for the way she looks at her great-grandfather.

"Also bulldog city lady has a human side. She'd be a shoe-in for GOP president."

You must not have seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

In the San Francisco bay you see their container ships all the time. I expect it's the same in any port city.

I was holding off on saying this, but Vince Vaughn just can't act. The scenes with him and his wife in the club were painful to watch. Badly delivered lines… and not helping it is the fact that the dialog was badly written.

The scene ended with the three leads standing there wondering "what the fuck was THAT pointless bloody mess all for? It doesn't make any sense!"

Here's a nice video of Jay Ungar and his family playing the tune: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

If I remember correctly, Ungar was born and raised in Brooklyn. Which is interesting in a way.

I loved it myself. It was perfectly self-contained. I never thought for a second about the usual story-line and didn't miss it a bit.

Eva Green reminds me of a very cool, brilliant and beautiful woman I knew in my 20s who was interested in me. She could be her twin. I figured she was too good for me plus I was "too busy with work." A year after she gave up on me she married some other guy.
