What a beautiful, lucid, moving letter. Thank you to Jason for writing it.

Same thing--I love Speed, can watch it over and over, but I wouldn't insist it's his best film.

Looks nice, but I think I'll skip black fly season.

I was recently awake during surgery. This is worse.

Beach Boys, Dance, Dance, Dance. Great song

Goodfellas
The Last of the Mohicans

Where do you start? With the number of people living in severe poverty during those years? The completely inaccurate time-line of tariffs? Or the absolutely insane reference to transgender operations?
You couldn't make this up.

What an idiotic claim. Matters of fact can't be plagiarized, and the wording is so anodyne as to eliminate any meaningful issue of plagiarism.

I don't think he'd be worse. He's a rank opportunist, not enormously wealthy, and nobody really likes him. So I don't see him wreaking the kind of havoc that the TFFG or Elonazi can. He'd be awful but not worse.

Maybe, but also because it's brilliant. I've now watched it all the way through twice.

It may be even more bizarre that he misspelled his son's name. And why the hell is Melania taking Barron to a concert? He's 18 and a college student.
