Oh wow, potato ole's. Are we in Iowa? Puts me back in college. Taco John vs. Taco Bell.

Too thin and about a foot too short.

And after all, the Dutch were the ones who hid Anne Frank. Among many others. Peter Grant probably could've eased up a bit on the Netherlanders and not called them lowland-dwelling cunts or whatever…highly amusing though it was.

And Scorcese goes out of his way to remind us we're in the hands of an unreliable narrator. As far as I'm concerned, he's covered historically.

That was Ian Hart?? Jeez, they couldn't find a guy more Peter Grant's actual size?

A bit too skinny and about a foot too short. Wasn't Peter Grant like a 6'7 snaggletoothed giant? This was what made him such a terror. Not just the profane coke-fuelled bullying…which I'm sure was more than somewhat prevalent in the 70s music biz.

If they screw with chronology then my money is on White Lines by Grandmaster Flash. Scorsese will be semi-sneaky and hit it from the 'urban' side of the equation.

It almost felt as if the succeeding generations of Germans were born with "I deserved that" imprinted on their brains. Conflict-averse might be a good way to describe it.

Because to my eyes (and memory) the 1970s seems 'modern', it can be hard to appreciate how much closer these characters were to the WWII era than they are to 2016. The execs at the table would've carried the psychic burden of being associated with Nazi Germany…and given the prevalence of Nazi youth groups there…

Thank you for the shout out to Rubble Kings. I have no idea how they got some of that footage. That was dirty dangerous 70s NYC at its finest and most unguarded. An amazing and enlightening doc.

This 100% list erroneously omits the indie feature 'Meadowland'.

I largely agree about latter-day Pacino. Though his work in Donnie Brasco can stand with anything else he's ever done. Magnificent.

If you believe the talking heads, Avery wasn't thinking about the money beyond what could keep him in his current lifestyle. But then you've ascribed a logical behavioral framework to a man who lit the family cat on fire. That is, if you believe pending fortune is what might have prevented Steve Avery from being…

As I said, my theory was they framed a guilty man. Guilty in more ways than one. But unlike Avery, Simpson's history was swept under the rug rather than becoming a matter for public discourse.

All true. But then we come back to the only possible 'motive' Avery would have to commit this sort of crime: poor impulse control. Somehow, Avery the impulse murderer seems more plausible than Avery the first-time rapist who premeditated the crime and laid in wait to ambush his victim. The first crime indicates a…

This is true. Even a career criminal like Greg Allen was reported to be 'escalating' his violent criminality at one point in his career. Poor self-regulation has always been Avery's problem. Particularly against women it seems. Is it that hard to envision this guy, his nerves already fried by year's of…

Exactly. It could have been both. When the facts in the O.J. case pointed to two seemingly contradictory scenarios…I decided the error was in seeing both events — 1) evidence points to Simpson, and 2) evidence points back to police — as mutually exclusive occurrences. And to me so far, this also seems like the police…

Is Hank's idea really any different than the hieroglyphics the Egyptians devised thousands of years ago? If the comparison holds up, then I'd be interested in knowing what made that particular culture revert (or progress) to an alphanumeric system.

The correct nomenclature is 'undocumented worker'.

Awesome! Thank you, I'm gonna check that out. As Danson was talking, I kept thinking about Esperanto which, in that era was supposed to address similar concerns by sort of mashing up the Romance languages into one common language. Cultural imperialism aside, no one was ever able to fully explain why this was less…
