Movie/film suggestions.

"Bugsie" Warren Beaty

I enjoyed Bugsy when I first rented the VHS tape a long long time ago, @slaw , and I rewatched it a year or two or three ago, and I still found it enjoyable.  I’ve been considering renting Alto Knights from "on demand" as it’s only a $5.99 rental now, but I pat Xfinity so effing much for my bundle, not paying extra for rentals has become a principle thing for me.

There’s a couple more I’d like to see that are rentals, but I might break down--Drug Store June (looks mildly hilarious), Winner (supposed to be about Reality Winner) and The Friend (a dog movie starring Bill Murray, and I like Bill Murray, but I like good dog movies even more).

. . .  @gano , speaking of Whitey Bulger movies and  the Karen Read trial, doesn't it seem rather ironic that a lawyer who once represented Bulger in a murder trial  would now be a special prosecutor in a case against someone who is alleged to have run down a police officer?

I guess a job is a job and a paycheck is a paycheck.

@immatthewj Todd Blanche was a prosecutor and then defended the last person one should defend if you are serious about law and order. So I don’t understand lawyer’s logic and ethics. 

Funny you mention Cut Bank: a very similar production story is Virgin River. According to the original script: somewhere in Utah, according to the series script it’s in Humboldt county, CA. In reality it’s East of Vancouver. However, it’s a Hallmark story which is always in some imaginary land but still. It’s a disservice to Humboldt county, the home Redwoods among other things. So, yes, location matters.

Btw I don’t know if Karen Read is guilty. Based on everything we know, she has no clue either. She was so wasted, she barely remembers getting home. What’s disgusting though is how the police acted. Just above the law all the way brotherhood.

Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, at least in theory.

"We have the best justice system money can buy."

Well, Todd got two jobs for his 'service' (he primarily scowled and kept a certain someone from testifying because he'd incriminate himself). One is deputy DA and the other is acting head of Library of Congress. 

I have a dark sense of humor and even I can't muster up the faintest of smiles on that one. 

All the best,
