Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This looks pretty delightful to me. Zoey Deutch makes a great Jean Seberg and the person playing Leaud is capturing his spirit as well! I'm also looking forward to the sequel, Italian Neorealism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufR...

Whoa! I always viewed Duncan Trussell as relatively harmless who happened to be friends with lots of people in the comedy world, strangely. Thanks for the tip!
