It’s so bizarre that people are this threatened by the idea that beauty comes in all flavors.  If you’re not personally interested, move along!  No one is coming to your house to force you to love a certain way, except for conservatives.  What a boring world we would live in if everyone enjoyed exactly the same thing.

“You know how beloved English class drama Upstairs, Downstairs was frank and progressive in its depiction of abuses and social injustice in traditional British life? Well we are not going to do that, everyone! I repeat, we are to be wholly uncritical of the landed gentry or their presumed entitlement to financial and…

Two simple goals, if we’re being honest: Make you laugh and cry, and romanticize the aristocracy.

I graduated from high school in 1983. You get used to it after a while.

You’re not the first person to assume that your formative years represented a big change in society, and then things pretty much stopped moving.

I finished high school in 1992 and ... I don’t want to continue with that sentence now that I think about it.

Meanwhile, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s accent can portray a mattress salesman born and raised in Edina Minnesota and nobody bats an eye.

Same here. The “was in a coma for 20 years” trope is something I just associate with someone falling into a coma in either the ‘60s or the ‘80s.

Given that the cornerstone of her career was purposefully off-putting, unfiltered, and otherwise gross comic relief, that’s a very reasonable impression. I don’t fully understand how she’s transitioned to leading lady. She’s more of a Josh Gad or Billy Eichner type that’s appreciated best in small doses (if at all).…

“Oh hey, she woke up from a coma after twenty years, she must have gone under in the 80s or someth...”

Man this one hit weirdly close to home for me. At least the tribunal stuff. I’m white passing but native. And I was certainly “raised white” I guess with the “benefits” of whiteness. Switched bands (tribes) a few years ago, along with my mum and sister. A bunch of sitting members had to hear our cases and decide to…

You are required to maneuver down this trench and drop your torpedo in a small hole.

He was actually Top Lawyer with daddy issues twice. In A Few Good Men his dad had been attorney general and died before his son could graduate Harvard Law! Every time he steps into the courtroom he’s arguing against the ghost of a dead lawyer!

I dunno, I bet he has stronger heart and lung function than most people half his age.

I hope they clean the chairs throughly.

Yeah, Goose’s kid was with them in the bar, he arrived with Meg Ryan. He was sitting on top of the piano when they sang “Great Balls of Fire”. It’s kind of hard to reconcile the age though, he looked like he was no older than 5 in 1986, which would make the Miles Teller character 41 today.

...even as Kilmer shows up for a brief and tender cameo highlighting both the wisdom that comes with getting older, and the heartbreaking vulnerability.

They showed an extended scene of this movie before Dr. Strange when I saw it in IMAX and, I have to say, the aerial footage was pretty mind blowing. Putting the actors in real F-18s adds a level of verisimilitude that couldn’t be achieved any other way. The Gs they pull are absurd at times and there’s no CGI that…

“‘Well that’s like saying don’t make the second episode of the The Sopranos. Like, so why do you think we would screw up the second one?’”

No, Judd, it’s like saying don’t make Anchorman 2.

Isn’t the point of Lincoln Lawyer to be a vehicle for Matthew McConaughey
