CIA Supervisor : Jesus Fucking Christ. What did we learn, Palmer?

Palmer : I don’t know sir.

CIA Supervisor : I don’t fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. I’m fucked if I know what we did.

Palmer : Yes sir, it’s hard to say.

Threads like this remind me I need to see Miller’s Crossing. (No, I’m not giving my list because I’ve not seen even close to all of their films.)

I strongly recommend that you watch Miller’s Crossing. Maybe watch it twice.

7

Remind me, is it a bummer? My wife has a strict “no bummers” policy, so if it’s a bummer, I’ll have to find time to watch it by myself.

It’s not really a bummer – it’s too arch to be that. It borders on black comedy. It is quite violent.

10

Sooooorrry, what does this mean?

Nevermind, looked it up. Never heard the phrase before. It’s silly.

Not much love for Hail Caesar! I really enjoyed it.

12

Why is “arch” sillier than any other word?

arch adjective

Definition of arch (Entry 3 of 9)
1 : principal, chief your arch opponent/rival an arch enemy
2a : mischievous, saucy
b : marked by a deliberate and often forced playfulness, irony, or impudence known for her arch comments … decided to answer them by being teacherly in a sort of arch, Olympian way.— Gerald Early

I dug the musical numbers and the setting but I felt the story was really thin. Needed a few more rewrites, I feel.

14

So you’re not using it as a shortened form of archetype?

15

No, I’m using it in the dictionary definition of “arch.” I’ve never heard of what you’re referring to.

16

Well aren’t my wires crossed. I think I’mma shut down for today. Clearly I can’t brain.

17

Have you played enough space sims today? Your blood sugar may be low.

18

Yeah, I’ve not touched one since TUESDAY. I’ll have to fix that as soon as I get home.

19

Christ, man, don’t make me call an ambulance on ya

It’s okay, I’ve got one on hot standby in the tubes and ready for launch as soon as I get home.
