Gotham (2014)
Who killed the Waynes
The Mayor killed the Wayne couple, and everything else about this show is equally obvious
..
Just as obvious that all the Bad Guys are going to be around forever, and that the Good Guys are all brain damaged weaklings with no survival instincts
.. Using ten lines on this stuff is a waste. Yeah, Donal Logue is great, but the combination of "Dark" and fantasy doesn't work here; everybody is complaining about the possible horrors of a Mob War, but in our often grim real world such conflicts are ignored or welcomed. Who cares when "Hoods" kill each other; even the other Hoods don't
When Jimmy Burke ( played by Robert DeNiro in the movies ) and Tommy DeSimone murdered their former partner in the JFK heist, did anyone mourn? When a Police officer kills a "Black" man the Media and the Liberal activists go berserk, when white criminals do the same ( a cold-blooded killing ) there is not even a peep. When DeSimone was murdered, was there anyone who was displeased, anywhere?
The Heart, She Holler (2011)
"The Heart She Holler" review
This magnificent epic is a landmark in America's ongoing struggle to define, and comprehend, it's own sexual identity. Patton Oswalt makes Brando look like a piker with his portrayal of the man that every woman wants to be, and every man is in love with; truly the greatest masterwork of the Twentieth Century. Also, I have a thing for Kris Schaal.... like America. So slaughter the fatted Gemberling, light the comic candles; prepare for a New Season.... Sure, this kind of comedy isn't for everyone, but to say that there's no overarching plot; that is pushing it a bit. Acquired taste, anyone?
It's true that while Pat Oswalt ( "Big Fan" ) is a Liberal, an overripe pudding of a man, an empty hole of nihilistic nothing; it is also true that the character he has created has changed the culture forever. We will never be able to look at ourselves, our neighbors, their surprisingly hot wives and girlfriends, or their dogs in the same way ever again.
America; "Uncle Sam", That delicious Brunette "Lady Liberty" from old-time recruiting posters, or just a big, green, suspiciously mannish copper strumpet fro France? Watch with an open mind, perhaps learn to ask the right questions.
