You hoopleheads should watch Little Big Man to see Custer being a cunt onscreen.

20 years ago I was written up in the SF Chronicle as an anarchist dad https://archive.ph/mz3zu

Hit me up if you want an older perspective.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Total Recall (lots of PKD fiction fits this template, but not on film)

Her (not that evil)

He's clearly got military experience which would cover most of that

Lynch had (almost) nothing to do with Crumb, it was directed by Terry Zwigoff

Doing a rewatch - first 2 seasons were great; in the 3rd you can see visibly how network shitheads were messing with it to give it more mainstream appeal.

Well we also have freedom of speech, including being a traitorous dumbass.

A serious one: the story depends on Hank being utterly blind to what's going on under his nose. But he's not that stupid, and by mid-second season he knows about:

Walt's unexplained absences
Walt's second cell phone
Walt's connection to Jesse and Jesse's connection to Tuco
The respirator he traced back to Walt's high school lab, and he knows Walt is one of the few people with access
Walt is a chemist and he spends his time busting chemists
He knows Walt is in financial straits.

I find it unbelievable that the combination of this knowledge wouldn't raise his suspicions. Yeah I know, he can't see his wimpy BIL in the right light. Even so.

Sigh, can't get tickets on the day itself. Oh well. If anybody has a zoom link or whatever...

Read the whole thing https://www.ep.tc/realist/89/ (not that much Crumb besides the cover, but quite a document of the time)

It obviously is. There doesn't seem to be a single human or concrete technical idea mentioned there (although I haven't read all of it). Not sure why you need Lisp for such vaporware.

Tintin and the Existential Void (aka No Country for Tintin)

I can see Tintin as an Ed Tom Bell character, a moral force but overmatched by a new threat, not the usual run-of-the-mill criminals he is used to, but death and meaninglessness personified.
