Joking obviously, public transport here doesn't have openable windows anymore! I need to wait for a station so I can throw it out the door.

Piranha 2: Flying Killers 4k director's cut when? (Please don't actually ask him this, but I don't think the DC has been out since laserdisc.)

There's a Shakespeare character named Hero. I wonder what gender they are.

Tarantino says of Chocolate, "they trained this 12 year old girl 4 years to star in this." Yanin Vismitananda was 19 when she was discovered and 24 when the movie came out. I hate nitpicking, but this guy boasts about his immense film knowledge then constantly makes the most basic mistakes.

Did they read a list of the kinds of things emotionally abusive people do, and mistake it for a guidebook?

As an action scene it's pretty good (for an '80s Amarican movie; hardly in the same league as The Killer or In the Line of Duty 4 from the same year), but as storytelling it's bunk.

That's everything wrong with prequels, IMO. It gives him all of his major character points - his self-righteousness, his fear of snakes, his scar, even his hat and whip - in one formative event so he can then remain inert for a couple of decades. It's basically Solo in miniature.
