Eagles by at least a couple scores.

I watched The Banshees of Inisherin yesterday and man does it stick with you. I've never seen anything like it before. It was different, for sure. For one, I love In Bruges and this was nowhere near as funny. Two, I don't like having to bust out the Encyclopedia to understand a movie, I just though...

Garrison is the closest thing to Atticus Finch in a modern movie. It's an amazing role. There is a lot of romanticized boomer shit with Stone in this movie but it's because Stone really cares about this stuff. We'd know so much less about the case today if this movie hadn't put immense pressure on t...

The recreation of the shooting...just incredible work by Oliver Stone. And nobody could have done it like him

The FBI switched out the bullet somewhere in the chain of custody imo. There's no way that bullet wouldn't have been totally distorted. The physics of the magic bullet theory I'm more agnostic on and I think it gets disproportionately more discussed than other, more interesting parts of the case.

There's almost nothing to the L. Fletcher Prouty / X theory on Ed Lansdale / General Y directing the assassination.

But it is an incredible scene.

Pesci's meltdown is so good

Some of the background on Oswald isn't in the original cut. A lot of it so far is just extra dialogue + info on the case.

I would have cut most of the family stuff at this stage in the movie and just went all in on the paranoid rabbit hole dive. Don't need that many scenes with the wife getting annoyed.

Wonder why they changed Ruth and Michael Paine to Bill and Janet Williams. The other principal names were kept.

One of the few certainties I have about the JFK case is Oswald being an intelligence asset. Every person he befriends, every good break he gets on his strange journey comes from someone who is at least peripheral to that world if not directly working in it. It's the only logical rationale behind a l...

It's mostly accurate in regards to Oswald's history in New Orleans. The rest is sort of a hodgepodge of different stuff, some of it less believable. I think it gets the general outline of what happened correctly though.

America just doesn't produce enough characters like Banister, Ferrie and Shaw anymore. All great kooks.

Don't think I've ever seen the director's cut! Yes, elite John Williams score. He brought him back for the documentary last year too.

Let's get to it

Yeah I’m in.

I’m down to watch tomorrow! Or whatever works for the most of us.

We should group watch JFK, Jason has huge hard on for it too. Great timing. Maybe the first major break in the story in a long time came out today. https://www.yahoo.com/now/jfk-assassination-investigator-jarring-claim-155305099.html Oswald was part of a CIA anti-Castro operation in New Orleans jus...

Jason and I are going to break the case. He was always a JFK guy, I didn’t start getting into it until COVID and I’ve read like 15 books on the subject since. The rest of you need to watch the superb Oliver Stone documentary “JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass” and tell us with a straight fac...
