Very true. It only seemed like half a movie in some ways, like the story is simply too epic for a single movie. I've only watched one doc on the subject, The People vs Whitey Bulger, and the big takeaway I got from it is even after all these years the FBI still doesn't quite know what the hell was going on.

It's kinda amazing that in the space of three or so months two films were released about massive corruption in Boston, Spotlight and Black Mass. A better writer than me could write a piece about how Spotlight succeeded whereas Black Mass faltered.

"Seriously Native American Man you and me are fucking done professionally."

I think the movie's greatest trick was making Jackman the ostensible protagonist for so long before revealing his obsession had driven him mad. This quick exchange with Johansson, "It won't bring your wife back" "I don't care about my wife, I care about his secret" was when I realized he was becoming the real bad guy

I imagine the Lawyer took the case pro bono. He clearly despises the gang.

I don't want to even think about what the bronies would do with the spindle hole.

"I want the people to know that we still have two out of the three branches of the government working for them, and that ain't bad."

For those curious, look for the book "Hit and Run" about infamous producers Jon Peters and Peter Gruber. The chapter on making this is the stuff of nightmares.

Gonna be playing Witcher 3 again. Playing it last weekend I realized I suck at rpgs so it's kind of an uphill just to get competent. I'm stuck in the first dungeon quest and will have to reload an old save to get more items and experience.

Hard to say for sure since it's definitely cut for time. The Batman action seems to have zero slow mo, and it looks glorious.

"Stop, my penis can only get so erect."

That opening forty five seconds is gonna put more people in theaters than all previous trailers combined. I mean goddamn that WAS Batman.

There's also "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader," which is both uplifting and tragic at the same time.

T1: Amazing
T2: Awesome
T3: Silly
TS: Stupid
TG: Silly and stupid

Personally I thought the best part of the movie was Scott, near the end, saying "…NO…" to Edgerton after he asks to know about a new informant. So much contempt in a single word.

Kurt Russell has no time for non-priceless smashing.

I've read that fast casual pizza shops are the next big thing in the restaurant world.
