Still don’t understand the cultural phenomenon of this guy. He went from musician to just widely accepted as some kind of genius. He must be brilliant at PR and audience manipulation. 

Normcore?

“I’ll never understand the appeal of this guy. His voice is so weird.”

“Sorry about the 9/11 thing. I forgot to never forget because I have alzheimer’s like a friggin’ retard.”

Anyone who takes perfectly good Jameson and turns it into that “Pancake shot” should be tried at The Hague.

The dirty cops are mentioned once early in the film, and are anonymous until they are shown again in the arrest montage. They are background, and were ultimately convicted.

The FBI using informants to infiltrate drug rings and get at the top players isn’t anything revelatory. The FBI doesn’t have jurisdiction over…

I saw the film last night. It ends with a post-script about his release, and recording of a phone call he made after his parole.

Magneto was criticized for being “too gay” ?

It was a strangely one-note film. And by the end, I was left wondering why I was supposed to sympathize with Rick. Mostly it’s a film about fatalism around the circumstances we are born into. But I had to sort of glean that for myself around the “the cops did him wrong” narrative that the film didn’t do a particularly…

Sorry, didn’t see your reply before I added mine. 

It’s a status thing. He’s not aggressive to an extreme. How could he harm you with his words? He’s so polite and deferential. Ah, just let him in for a few minutes and answer his questions...

Man, on paper this movie should have been right up my alley. But it really was flat and one-note. The best things about it were the shots and neon lighting borrowed directly from Bladerunner and Moebius. The character motivations were convoluted and oftentimes inconsistent. It was like a noir where they forgot to give…

I am sure 12 people will see it at some point while they are deliberating. 

“Rob and Kirk’s Doodle” seems to be a standard part of their shows. What an odd utterly self-indulgent choice.

Didn’t baby Lisa have the same spiky hair in flashbacks?

I enjoyed the first two seasons well enough (Spacey’s selective/slippery southern accent aside), but I couldn’t get past 2 episodes of season 3. It just lost all the heat once season 2 wrapped up. And I never bothered to power through to see what other bullshit the sociopath would get into. 

What an uncharacteristically wooden performance from Robin Wright. Weird. 

I will *never* see a discussion about residuals without thinking about the clip of Emo Philips in the Weird Al “Behind The Music”. He’s talking about UHF and shows a residual check for, I think, 78 cents and with his perfectly awkward delivery says “UHF...it’s the gift...that...keeps on...giving!”

I hadn’t considered how much Cosby’s actions, and subsequent pulling of The Cosby Show from permanent syndication, has affected the other lesser-known actors involved in the show. They must have lost a pretty significant revenue stream. That really sucks. 

Considering it’s on hold indefinitely, it’s not affecting anything. He’s not actively Drax right now, as the film is in limbo. He might be trying to apply a last bit of pressure to get Gunn back, or he was just thinking out loud. He’ll likely walk. He seemed pretty pissed.
