Legit loling at the gym at Bang's famous -painters roasts on Stanger. Too fucking funny

Wasn’t it 620? My uh, friend, he lost count while watching it

Adam Lewis

A younger, better actor--at that time, maybe a Matt Dillon?--might have been able to make that visible on screen.

Man, I'm trying to find a funnier response to a post than "Nah" and I'm drawing a blank, it's that good. It maintains the status quo while sounding really cool. Also, not sure if you guys knew, it refers to something the boyz talked about so it has that "squee" factor

I think we're only a few Shadow Wolves episodes away from them reviewing The Houston 500

Trevor Dowdy

Yeah, nah

If I’m doing that much work for the movie, I should get a writers credit.

Nah

Hershel Greene was a poor man’s Dr. Robert Neville.

God, thanks for reminding me what a shitty season that was. Love shows where the dialogue only seems to exist to fill time until the next action sequence.

Tom Cody's performance works well if you take it like a PTSD wrecked vet, ala I Am Still Here, not all weird shit the ABZ said. Calling him by his last name would be indicative of a military identity where you are called by your last name often. The tone of Riva's telegram I think can be read as the brother and sister kinda growing up in a bad and poverty stricken environment. Tom left, drafted into the service, saw bad shit and now is just kinda this flat affect drifter who has a lot of mental wounds from his childhood and the war. Ellen Aim is 18 but it was common in the 50s for girls 13,14,15,16 to be in serious relationships / married or engaged, especially if she was from the south or midwest. I think there is a little bit of Beats/ Kerouac to Cody... He's lived the horrors of combat, he's seen the greatest minds of his generation starving and hysterical, naked, wandering this almost romantic post-war dirty pop Americana .... but it just has affected him more and he isn't so enamored with it like Raven is. A more complex and traumatic psychological background would also help explain why he is so into a girl that is much younger than him and why he isn't ready on that mature adult level to be a part of a mature professional signing career. Dafoe is so much more visually interesting, I think it is a choice to play it flat and I think the choice actually works well if you want to do a little work for the movie.
