That same half are also criminals.

Are you referring to Road to Perdition?

Fair enough.

The link I posted above in the word “corrections”. You did read it, didn’t you, rather than ignoring the debunking of the myth you’re propagating because you were so sure it was true? If you’d even hovered over it, you would have seen it was to the Denver Post, which is why I referred to it as such in the comment…

And centrist liberals consider people off to their left to be far left, and so on until you reach Sam Dolgoff, except he’s dead now.

I like Badlands and Tree of Life a good deal, and appreciate Days of Heaven. I only watched the Hangover films after Joker won at Venice, and I think at best they should have stopped with the first one. Malick’s work is better than Phillips’, as far as I’ve seen, but Malick isn’t failing to do his job by not granting…

No, he didn’t. Read the Denver Post story. Initial reports, including the one you linked to, were wrong. It’s often the case that the “first draft of history” contains errors, which is why it’s better to read things written enough time later to be corrected. The prosecutor in his case is quoted as debunking the rumor,…

Most reviews are positive, and it’s currently projected to have a quite large box office:

Holmes picked TDKR as a target because there would be a big crowd at its midnight premiere. The idea that he was “inspired” was a mistake that persists as a sort of urban legend and refuses to die after corrections were published. Yes, he had dyed hair, but it wasn’t the color of the Joker’s. He was wearing a tactical…

Does Malick do much defending of his movies in interviews? I think doing the publicity circuit is a normal part of the movie business, but some folks are uninterested enough to avoid it.

If anyone would like to know what Todd Phillips’ actual politics are, you can see his political donations here:

I’ve heard “My Man Godfrey” did it earlier, but Baby seems to be the more enduring example.

9/27/19

Horrible and screwed up in one sense, but also orderly enough that civilians are basically immune and the world can remain secret and separate, so it’s sort of a fantasy version of organized crime.

2 is my least favorite film of the series, partly because Wick is also supposed to be in violation of the rules for killing a member of the High Table, but the guy who contracted him to do it is able to get away with it. And the Bowery King is later punished for helping Wick even though Wick hadn’t actually been…

I prefer her “box office poison” Bringing Up Baby, full of UNcontrolled eccentricity. This film really did seem to be on the side of the men “bringing her down a peg”, and since I didn’t start with the assumption that Hepburn needed that, it just seemed tiresome.

The rally round the flag effect did indeed rear its ugly head there and is always something to be on guard against.

Everyone knows humans don’t excrete bodily waste, that is for the lesser animals.

Downton Abbey is less of a culture shock for Bruce Wayne because he actually lives in a mansion with a servant.

9/26/19

I didn’t go through every page so I can’t say for sure whether he’s donated to Bernie, but the first page contains a donation to Marianne Williamson. Hopefully she will send out positive vibes to calm everyone down.

I suppose spambots are also giving advice.
