It's worth seeing for Cary Elwes and James Caan too.

Like Henry said, David Copperfield once made an airplane disappear too.

Mailer's account is characteristically potent but he never quite reconciles the motivation behind Tippit's murder. Mailer assumes the trial motivated the "execution"—that Oswald wasn't just anticipating capture, but counting on it. Why , then, violently resist arrest?

Right but then why deny any involvement once apprehended? If he was aiming to secure his place in history, bulls eye.

After watching Lee assemble and disassemble his rifle, I had a thought: what if—and this is pure speculation—Lee is a fellow time traveler determined to stop the assassination too? His defection was an attempt to gain intel on possible Soviet connections; his time in New Orleans was spent infiltrating both anti- and…

This bodes well for my (perhaps irrational) hope that this will be set in the TOS era. CBS isn't interested in fan service—the success of the Abrams movies is the only reason this is happening. Seeing anything other than green/blue/red uniforms and miniskirts is going to throw off potential viewers.

Of the two, THE HATEFUL EIGHT was more challenging, thoughtful, and (despite length and setting) kinetic. It had a passion and personality that THE REVENANT tried to make up for with an adversity-narrative marketing campaign. Underneath all the faux-Mallick dream sequences and left-field imagery—rebirth via horse—is a…

This hadn't crossed my mind. But considering all the homosocial (not to mention homoerotic) trappings of the American west, westerns, and (especially) THE HATEFUL EIGHT, you might be onto something.

Interesting link. Upvote.

He's doing the best he can.

The Capitol LPs represent some of the best pop music of the 20th century, especially Only the Lonely. (I've always loved that AllMusic lists that album's genre as "scary music.")

For a certain generation, hating Sinatra was an anti-establishment badge of honor. It meant you were progressive, young, and didn't trust anyone over 30.

It’s true.

Absolutely.

Funny thing is that the US was the one who hired all the former Nazis. We had to sneak them out behind the Soviets' back. (See: Operation Paperclip)

"Indiana Jones and the Complex of Collusion." A Manchurian Candidate/Corman-style cheapo—science run amok—with shadowy CIA villains, MKUltra, and robots (real or brainwashed zombies) that ends in 1963 Dallas.

Poor choice of words and poorly phrased. I meant that he’s an opinionated codger who doesn’t mind ruffling feathers.

I won’t argue that his lapses into “poetry” don’t always land—and the above example certainly doesn’t. But when they do, they’re pretty fantastic. (Same goes for After Hours.)

That Tarantino's POV is so thoroughly defined by genre movies that he knows very little about real people. The morality monologue, for example, in "Pulp" sounds nice and has a great beat but the words don't really mean anything. And because his influence can be felt in so much contemporary moviemaking, it has (for…
