tommy lee jones going 'frankieee!' = :D :D :D

man, i still haven't rewatched this. i really need to.

Remember, fundamentally people are suckers for the truth, and the truth is on your side, 'bubba. I hope you get a break...

You got the right ta-ta, but the wrong ho-ho

what does this even mean

He bows his head, holding it in his hands, and his wig starts to come
off in his hands.

I watch Sutherland's monologue on youtube sometimes, its the kind of thing I use to cheer me up donchaknow!

The truth is on your side, bubba!

Coincidentally on TV at midnight last night - not sure what the schedulers were trying to say with that timeslot...

i got back to the motel drunk with a bag of mcdonalds after a wedding in a smalltown last year and i turned on the tv and don-suth's monologue had just started and i was so happy

<3

has there ever been a better (non-Nazi) film with a wronger and more dishonest central intent?

little miss sunshine

good point well made

im here to help

hang on i've just realised i said "better"

i like how your sentence kind of implies all nazi films are so much better that it's unfair to even consider them

triumph of the will is "better" than JFK but yeah my logical syntax is all over the place

got sucked into this again yesterday. about twenty minutes in i went and got a notebook and just started writing down lines.

it's one thing to engage in badinage with all these youngsters, but this sort of thing could be so easily misunderstood.

Why don't we drop this thread? It's one thing to engage in badinage with these youngsters, but this sort of thing can be so easily misunderstood.

ctrl-fing for "homosexual underworld" before i deploy the next one

ah fuck

Both brothers?!?

This thread is a whole nother kettle of fish.

i just can't believe a man as intelligent as earl warren never looked into this.

stone really needs to do the LBJ story

haha presumably if he did the whole middle bit would be lbj plotting the jfk assassination

one of the quieter lols in the caro series is in book 1, wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back like in 1930 or something, when caro's on one of his lyrical tears about how ambitious and calculating johnson is, and says something like "it was clear he would do anything for power (short of assassination, of course)." glad we cleared that up early.

how about the bit where RFK gets shot on TV and Costner's so disturbed/turned on that he goes upstairs and weeps and fucks Sissy Spacek.

The other night you didn't even notice Jasper.

There's nothing wrong with feeling a little scared, Jasper.
Telling the truth can be a scary thing sometimes.
It scared President Kennedy, and he was a brave man.
But if you let yourself be too scared...
...then you let the bad guys take over the country.
Then everybody gets scared.

You never talked to me this way before, Jim.

Jasper played by Stone's son!

I picture Stone having a good laugh at the scenes where Garrison himself plays Earl Warren... then slapping everyone else and being all "ain't that a corker?"

ILX in a nutshell.

how was your mousse?

You know your Shakespeare, Bill?

It's as old as the crucifixion

that's not all that's disappeared, i think -- along with it, the concept of justice.

it's been exhausting. i shall go home and cook some etouffee.

That whole scene with military dudes in smoke filled rooms plotting compliments the monologue so well:

Every time he goes over to Saigon on some fuckin' fact-finding mission, he comes back and just scares the shit out of the President! Now I want Max Taylor on him night and day, like a fly on shit. Now you control McNamara, and you control Kennedy.

The next sentencce:

A military firing squad; five bullets, one blank, no one's guilty.

Must have been having the time of their lives writing this...makes me wish I was a scriptwriter on this film.

It was a Texas live oak, chief. It sheds its leaves in March.

Little ass-wipe closed down the camps! Took our C-4!
Took 10,000 rounds! 3,000 pounds of gunpowder!
All our weapons!
You want to free Cuba? Whack out the fucking beard!
They got new stuff!
I could show you dozens of poisons! Put it in his food, he'd die in three days.
No trace!
Put something in his beard, make it fall out. He'd look ridiculous....
