Bill Corbett is a mensch and has been for a long time (see the attached from 2012).
This makes me wonder why he still works with Mike Nelson, who is very much not.

*Politically* impossible, not financially impossible.
I understand the outrage in this thread but I also think "the government must never charge people for the costs of their arrest, trial, and punishment" would be a good first principle in all matters concerning the justice system.

Yeah I can understand why the perpetrator would want to get in front of this and paint themselves as the victim.

What sucks is that the easiest way of bypassing weight limits in most games is turning godmode on, which breaks the rest of the game
but which is still preferable to wasting my moments on God's green earth optimizing my loot carry

Rubin And Ed's another solid entry.
Also, depending on how literal you want the "travel" to be, A Field In England and The Trip (1967) definitely have the vibe.

If you hadn't mentioned After Hours I wouldn't dare, but Gregg Araki's Smiley Face is great example.

Thank you for cropping Gene out. As much as I’d have loved to see you do him dirty, it’s not as much as I appreciate simply not seeing him.

That’s a fair point. What I was trying to suggest, though, is that the category of “well-off private farm owners” is de minimis here and now, with the American “kulak” analogs generally a bad crop or two away from failure. Maybe Bill Gates, the Resnicks, and Ted Turner instead of the conglomerates?

To be fair, the modern equivalent of the kulaks are not farm workers or even family farms but Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef, and everyone involved in THEM probably deserves a Siberian gulag.

We called our dekulakization “The Dust Bowl” and we’ve been careful to never allow the peasantry to regroup

(Jazz is 100% American though. Focusing on its antecedents missed the way it found its unique expression within the crucible of Jim Crow America).

If you cut out all the scenes with Clarence, you end up with a thought-provoking piece, because while George Bailey has STILL lived A Wonderful Life, it’s A Wonderful Life that ends in hypothermia and drowning. Makes you think.

I feel like every wrinkle or gray hair corresponds either to a stressor involved in parenting or an inconceivable governmental injustice, and I never want to forget either, the former because they spark joy and the latter because they remind me of the need for revolution.

I have to assume his suggestion of Austin Butler as perfect for the role is based on Butler's performances as Tex Watson in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and David Koresh in "Eddington."
Both are great performances and absolutely not what "There Will Be Blood" needed in the analogous role.

He's trying SO hard to pull a Jack-Nicholson-in-A-Few-Good-Men, making him the first notable Republican I can think of to mistake an Aaron Sorkin script for something that would ever work in reality.
Many Democrats, though. So many Democrats.

I'm trying hard not to reply to the total idiots here and I have to acknowledge in this case that I made a miscalculation based on the coherence of your earlier post.

If your argument is that "cold-blooded" and "premeditated" mean the same thing then we can cut this off right here, you're wrong.
In this case, the prosecution's own case acknowledges the research Mangione did to identify Thompson as a personally-culpable target, which speaks to your first point.

If my Grandma died because she was shot in the head by the Schutzstaffel, and I blame it on the Nazis, and I kill a Nazi commandant in response, does that count as "cold-blooded" or not?
