What Hermantrout was doing for 5 minutes to the car.
Maybe I dozed off too much at the end and things came together wonderfully with the bits he had removed?

He was...[spoiler] looking for the bug/tracker that he assumed was put on it.  Ultimately finding it inside the gas cap.  And the rest you know...researching the type of tracker, buying his own, spoofing it, making them think the battery ran out to draw them in.  The "them" is presumably going to turn out to be Gustavo Fring's boys.

Chinatown.

Didn't care for it. (/cue CdM nostalgic outrage)

[celedhring]

It's an amazing movie, though.

[Admiral Yi]

I don't get it either.  Except the nose snip scene.  Great scene.

[celedhring]

I have watched it probably over a dozen of times and I never get tired of it. Such a perfect script. For a screenwriter it's like being in presence of the Divine.

[CountDeMoney]

Chinatown.

Didn't care for it. (/cue CdM nostalgic outrage)

Meh, not really...You've seen it once, you've seen it.  It is a magnificent screenplay, though.

[Tonitrus]

Maybe my biggest problem is that the ending is such a major downer, even for a noir.  Makes Russian films look cheery by comparison.

Well, it is about water politics in California.  Doesn't get much more darker than that.

[Liep]

The Last Jedi teaser was very limited. but the poster was cool.

[Duque de Bragança]

Chinatown.

Didn't care for it. (/cue cinephile nostalgic outrage)

Fixed!

[celedhring]

Started watching Suits. I thought it was okay, fun dialogue and characters, but it didn't really grab me. My boss thinks it's the shit though, so I guess I'll watch a few more.

[Eddie Teach]

Chinatown.

Didn't care for it. (/cue cinephile nostalgic outrage)

Fixed!

That whole "plot twist" reveal scene was just so hokey.

[Admiral Yi]

Suicide Squad was some stupid shit.

Pan was moderately cool.

[Josephus]

Better Call Saul.

[spoiler]Didn't quite understand the whole gas tank cap thing. There was a tracer in his gas tank. Why would someone drive over to take it out? And how did he figure out that would happen?[/spoiler]
