(Willem Dafoe’s there too, dressed like a lady in order to woo the guards and also because he’s gay. Remember he’s gay? Gay, and a detective? A gay man with a job that’s not “interior designer” or “hairdresser?” God, this movie is subversive.)

I like her because she seems so earnest in whatever they put her in.

Came for this. Am not disappointed.

Well, if a lawyer used undue influence over an elderly woman who happens to be a beloved American icon and whose work rakes in millions, and that lawyer is able after that icon’s death to skim off a bunch of that money, I have a problem with that.

I was about to be sarcastic about this comment, but instead I have a question. Have you honestly never been expected to have an opinion about something your friend made? Nobody asked for a comment on their cake, blanket, or decor?

If they hadn’t been so shrimpy with his crab, he’d haddock a good time.
