You should check out the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. I think you might enjoy it

So strange you specifically mentioned Artie, I almost mentioned him in my original post. Those two have a special chemistry, he & Gilbert are like two brothers when they get together, & just start cracking themselves (and anyone listening) up. If you've just discovered the podcast, scroll back and listen to the Artie episode from 5 or so years ago, it's amazing as well. So many great episodes. Good call on the Dick Cavett Show comparison by the way.
It's amazing. The stories he gets out of so many legends from so many eras, and it's fucking hilarious on top of that. Great podcast. Hugely underrated.
Might get robbed at the Oscars, so this might be all they get.
Either way, good to see QT & Pitt up there being recognized for the best film of the year.
It was something QT did himself, with a date, when True Romance came out. However, it wouldn't surprise me if Sharon Tate, and just about every other actor & filmmaker did this. Wouldn't you? Sounds fun!
I think the idea was, he knew this gang had near unlimited resources (many millions of dollars) and would probably stop at nothing to find them. A little kid like Brock suddenly having to live on the run for the rest of his life isn't much of a life at all. Jesse was willing to sacrifice himself to suffer and even die to prevent that.
Yeah, I agree that was a bad part; though it was the fault of the writing, not the editing. The idea that the two of them unload and no one hits anything was lame. Especially coming immediately after Jesse going full John Wick unloading perfect center mass shots, all from the hip. Then suddenly, the two of them can't land a shot. Kinda silly scene in general, the guy agreeing to a duel, etc. Still enjoyed the movie overall but that part was lazy and/or ill-conceived.
Jesse knew if he killed Todd and / or escaped, the bikers would kill Brock.

There's also when Cliff Booth is driving around, and comes across the evil hippie girl, at that moment playing in the background in his car, is a radio advertisement for 'Heaven Sent'... like he is the intervening angel
Hanna is upset when he comes home, & finds his wife Justine getting herself dolled up, about to go out on a date with someone else.
So what does he do?
He turns on the sink, to do the dishes... then thinks, fuck that, and goes out on a date himself... with his obsession... Neil. A nice coffee date.
Whoever wrote this review is dumber than Waingro. The film, in all of its rich detail, went almost entirely over their head. Poor thing. I almost feel bad for them missing out; however, they are obnoxious enough to perhaps deserve their own ignorance. So, maybe it all balances out in the end.

Honestly, I only expected exactly what you describe. A decent popcorn comedy for a lazy afternoon. I found it surprisingly horrendously below that level! Bas Rutten was great though, silver lining.
"Ironically, the movie does have many shortcoming, none of which you point out in this thread."
And yet you don't name any, so your comment is about as worthwhile as the movie was.
I still can't bring myself to watch Airbender. It's the only Shyamalan film I haven't seen. Wish I could say the same about Glass.
I guess you're more easygoing than I. Personally, I'm not usually a vindictive guy, and I don't wish violence on people; however after watching this terrible film, as the supposed follow-up to actual great movies like Unbreakable & Split: I hope M. Night has a really dripping wet sneeze, & shits himself at the same time, at the beginning of a long flight.
Yeah, no big deal. After all, Mr. Glass is merely a TERRORIST WHO BLEW UP A FUCKING AIRPLANE, a train, and burned down an entire hotel full of people. Seriously this would be like if they had captured Osama Bin Laden or whoever, and left the task of overseeing him to one male nurse, and a mall cop. This movie was truly stupid
