Dumb. They should learn from Trump, who calls it "Albania."

I try it every time; some day it's going to accept it.

Indeed, the ax less terrifying than the tax.

Anyway, I love TRAIN DREAMS. Please see TRAIN DREAMS. And for the love of all that's holy (for example: TRAIN DREAMS), see it big.

I would eavesdrop the hell out of a conversation between Bob and Robert. They probably wouldn't say much. Robert because he's taciturn and Bob because he's stoned, but their silences would speak volumes. And would likely also cure that pesky Male Loneliness EpidemicTM.

Di Caprio's OBAA character might be a figure of absurdity, while Edgerton in TD is all quiet, ordinary tragedy, but still I see them as peculiarly similar in crucial ways, like they'd recognise each other if their eyes met across the intervening decades.

Also, I'm clearly ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER-pilled, but I couldn't help but see it and TD, despite vast differences in tone, as thematic bookends to... the promise of America, I guess? A promise TD imagines being born in violence, hope and grief and OBAA imagines ending in much the same manner.

Edgerton is wonderful and deserves the earth, but how great is William H. Macy in a role that must total like 10m of screentime yet is somehow present throughout? Didn't realise how much I've missed him. And I will never again hear Denis Johnson's prose in anything but Will Patton's voice.
