    The guys at the precinct might like it. They’re fond of their nightsticks, after all.

    Some might say he was quite a dick.

    There is nothing like critics ganging up on a movie to make me want to see it, particularly when Roger Ebert really likes it. Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen In Bruges yet, it has that universe is filled with random misfortune that often tends to violence and best laid plans going bad sort of sensibility. No Frances McDormand, alas, but really fine acting, loony plot, and a wonderful sense of justice and humanity. Not suitable for the F word squeamish, but if you like Fargo, Miller’s Crossing and recriminations over desperate errors that can’t be taken back and inevitably come back to haunt you despite your best intentions, you’ll love this movie.

    I don’t think there’s any merchandise. Oh, and Frozen River is very good too.

    The guys at the precinct don’t have a clue about mistreating human beings that Little Napoleon sherriff’s staffs have down pat, but if these guys were in Boston, our hero would lose an eye to a beanbag, if it’s Tejas, he’s going away for life for a quarter ounce of pot, in Beaufort County, SC it’s Thirty Days in the Hole. If it’s NYC, somebody will be smart enough to use the plunger. If it’s LA, they’ll use a taser about eight times and go to Simi Valley for solace.

    There’s a very good and humane cop for every sadistic bastard with a badge, but there’s no way to undo the damage the Little Hitlers do.

    Thanks, boozoo, for that, um … whatever it was.

    Personally, I’m just glad Scott didn’t decide to buy the latex Silk Spectre outfit or the Rorschach dirty trenchcoat.

    How do you know you “see” it if you’ve never heard of it?
