Imagine how chaotic the set on What About Bob? with Bill Murray was!

Richard Dreyfuss is the lifetime walking embodiment of Justified/Raylan Givens’s “If you run into a asshole in the morning...” quote.

I thought he was fine.

Because most stand-up comedians aren’t attempting to clout-up and parlay that into being the face for certain movements OR, if they do, they’re open about the fact that they’re making up details.

Also most don’t doxx people in their stories, lie to their partners about it, and implicate serious shit like how anthrax…

Oh my god again the idiots are out in full force with some form of “Comedian tells joke that’s fake, news at 11”.

That is SUCH a fantastic take and very true.  She would have forgiven him.  Remember her about the letters in the river?

The problem is that there aren’t a lot of Osage left. There are only 4 actual 100% due to what happened in the movie. It is why Lili Gladstone was contravercial pick for the movie from the Osage perspective. She isn’t Osage. Osage were one of the first tribes to accept Christianity, because we are just very inclusive.…

It’s reasonable to bring up Schindler’s. Yet it does drive home the important point being made, because that movie was directed and produced by Jews, whereas this had some Osage participation and input.

I think it does make the point about the changing country. In a lot of ways, this was a standard Scorcese mobster movie, just set in 1920 Oklahoma instead of 1980 NY or Boston. In the scenes where King is setting up all the guys he hired and can testify against him to get killed, I could practically hear the Layla Pian…

Yep, the Holocaust on film was also my immediate reaction (also Jewish).

That was definitely the point While I certainly respect her view, I don’t agree that seeing those killings normalizes them. Seeing them and knowing for certain that they were done by white people just to steal their money (instead of leaving them ambiguous) makes them more horrific. Sometimes the violence in a…

Schindler’s List is a great comparison because, like this movie, it’s not really *about* the victims. There’s a reason that movie focused on Schindler, a non-Jew, rather than any of the workers in his factory. Obviously, the evils of the Holocaust are depicted, but they’re in the service of a story about evil and how…

Criticizing a Scorsese movie for being too violent is kind of like criticizing the pope for being too religious. But I do understand why from her perspective she wouldn’t like it & I think I would probably prefer her version too, especially if it is as well-directed as her “Deer Lady” flashback episode this season on…

I haven’t seen the film yet, so I can’t say whether or not the Osage characters were underdeveloped or underutilized. But if the events displayed were graphic and tragic, that’s because the real-life events were too, and it’s important that it doesn’t get forgotten.

Jacobs said she nevertheless “would prefer to see a $200 million movie from an Osage filmmaker telling this history, any day of the week.”

Far be it from me to challenge a Native person’s reaction to a movie focused on a Native story, but to her penultimate point, the “massive Fuck You to the real life, white Oklahomans, who still carry and benefit from these blood-stained headrights”...is that not also what this movie is trying to say?

The movie you’re wanting would never get made.

I wish the avclub would have leaned into the bit and have that Ray Greene guy review this.

Chappelle is famous as the host of a sketch show, more than a pure standup. Like past hosts Amy Schumer or Sarah Silverman. Mulaney is a former SNL writer and that’s its own category. Last pure standup was Bill Burr.

**Cough** Bill Burr **Cough**
