Milo tries to tell straight homophones they have permission to say "f*gg*t." He's scum.

They're his nostrils, but the outfit's all practical effects, so they're positioned in such a way that Doug Jones could see through them to move.

Well put. There's also the issue that PTA is a fairly precise director who makes deliberate, finely-crafted movies, which seems fairly at odds with Pynchon's approach to tone and narrative. Its still a fine film, though, and I'm impressed that they got as much of it to work as they did.

Schwarzenegger is, no joke, in the top 5% of Republican politicians as far as sanity and responsible governance goes. I would rather have him be president than almost anyone else in the GOP, because at least he acknowledges that science is real.

Almost everything for Inherent Vice was overdramatic. I liked the film, but it did not seem to get how goofy and silly the book was, or how that made the book's sadness and melancholy feel much more real. As a result, the film felt kind of muted and washed-out emotionally, and the really broad comedy scenes felt more…

Thanks for bringing up a Silence before I did. What a great score— so ominous and almost atonal at times.

It looks like Carmack's finances are Doo-

That's definitely in keeping with Lustig, but I was expecting satire mostly based on Larry Cohen being the screenwriter, as he wrote the movie fairly shortly after The Stuff.

Huh. My brain must have just filled that in, then, to make it fit together with every other vigilante urban-cleansing movie.

No, just relentless. Good catch, though— I had the idea because I was frustrated Maniac Cop didn't do more with its premise, considering the potential for satire.

Thank you for the recommendation— I find the story of the bombing pretty fascinating but have never read anything in-depth on it. I'll definitely pick that up.

Actually, yes. While I doubt he actually enjoys it for any reason beyond feeling classy and important, opera is the only music he's ever music he's ever acknowledged listening to or enjoying.

My pitch for a topical horror film is Death Wish, but the violent ex-cop stalking and murdering criminals while being celebrated by society is actually the monster instead of the hero. The title idea I have is "No Human Involvement," which is police slang for crimes that only affect prostitutes or other criminals.

Nazi ain't got no humanity.

I'm glad the band changed their name, because we are now literally living in an Andrew Jackson Jihad.

Just don't watch Dikachu's tongue, because that thing is horrifying.

I'm just going the way of a 1940 industrialist towards FDR and using "that man."

Matt Bors was really on point on this subject:

He already got the All Lives out of his system for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Has he said, um, anything at all about the mosque shooting in Montreal? You know, the domestic terror attack committed by a guy who loved him and was likely provoked by his policies? Anything?
