I got SO abused for saying the “Boondock Saints” movies were great on the JoBlo site. They didn’t get that the director was bucking as many tropes as possible by zagging at every point the average director would zig - except unlike “Momento” he wasn’t demanding that the viewer mentally tack it back together to get any sense out of it.

He was shooting for ‘Entertainment’, not ‘Arty Pretentiousness’.

And where the hell is “The Outlaw Josey Wales” on that list? It’s not for eating...it’s for looking through.

I freaking LOVE TBS.

I even have TBS hoodies and t shirts.

I have a bad habit of saying “ I’m strangely comfortable with that” every chance I get.

/free the Saints!!!

I wonder if pasty bland Locke didn’t jinx TOJW

The movie was spectacular until she slithered on screen.

Never understood that whole thing.
