She was great in American Primeval and The Hunt — and in The Hunt she was supposed to be from Mississippi (I grew up there) and pulled off the quiet badass non-maga country-girl character perfectly. Crap, now I gotta go watch The Hunt!

While not SUPER accurate I was happily surprised that Garfield was in life as he was portrayed. A kind, principled, non-prejudiced man interested in real reform. His was the great “what if” presidency before JFK.

It had me with the trailer’s amazing music choice. And Mr. Darcy’s narcissistic megalomaniac Charles Guiteau has me fighting the urge to fast forward every time — but I don’t. So creepy.

Uh 1941? You know, I’ve got both versions of it — all it needed was better editing. And less cocaine on the set probably. Knock 15-20 minutes off, move some scenes, add back in some heart, and it’s a classic.

Netflix taught me James Garfield convinced Chester Arthur it was a good idea to found the modern civil service system, eventually killing off the spoils system. Death by Lightning was indeed a great series.

Please begin with straw hats and leather woven shoes with no socks.

Aside from the fun, it is the best portrayal of a true follower of Jesus (with failings like any of us) and a false “Christian” leader I’ve seen in modern popular cinema. It’s not the first time I’ve sensed this through-line of goodness in Rian Johnson’s work.

I think of how much good trouble I could get into and organize with Bruce Wayne’s billions. Hell, with just a few of his millions and some motivated folks.

I vote we compromise: billionaires dead and we have to say “no” to millionaires sometimes.

Does this mean the FBI is building my Aunt Tiffa and me a headquarters building and infrastructure?

Weird that they have dudes at the women’s restroom. Where are the women troopers? At the men’s restrooms? Why are the coochie/cock inspectors crisscrossed?

Wait, I bet these three troopers are trans. I might be projecting my own gender normative views on these three Texas ladies. Carry on, girls.
