I can't explain why it had so little impact on me. Like if someone had asked me if Matt Damon was in it, I think I would have replied

:clueless: - yes but I think just one quick scene or something? :dunno:

But it is a repeating pattern for me with the Coens: movies get better with repeated viewings. I have strong doubts that will be the case with Hail Caesar - and Blood Simple just kinda sits there for me - but otherwise, yap.
 
Just caught up with Night Of. It's excellent.

The whole Freddy just likes Nas because, he's a sophisticated guy, he can relate to is far-fetched. But I suppose having a clean-cut drug mule sidekick makes a bit more sense.

Seems too early and obvious that the black guy killed her.
 
I watched The Peanuts Movie (2015). I ain't gonna lie, I found it wanting.

There were a lot of good reviews - I disagree. Found it weak.

There might have been points for nostalgia but it actually broke the traditional rules of Peanuts-world I grew up with so no, it's limited as far as that.

4.4 out of 10.

But that's also how The Wire played out. There were no games played with the audience, everything was laid out plainly and clearly. It's not a whodunit, it's an exploration of multiculturalism and the US legal system.

Black guy did it. As usual. -housepicks
 
There is no mystery. Black guy did it. It was pretty clear right from episode 1, when The Wire's Bodie lied to the cops, saying he was alone when he encountered Naz and the girl.

The show is exposing the mechanisms of the legal and penitentiary systems is all.
 
Nas himself is being set up as a red herring now - the one and only alternative possibility really. That is my feeling anyway. This sudden transformation and sly comments about him having a buried rage all along. It's supposed to get us thinking.

But I'm not up to much thinking along those lines.
 
The part about him him taking huge lines of ketamine, when he though it was blow is pretty major.

Just a few small bumps of the stuff could put you in a K Hole. Which is a tripped out situation where you can't control your body.

I foresee more dialogue about this.
