Why'd you call him Murphy? He's O'Brien. I will not come in and tell you how it's all planned and supergenius. During my umpteenth rewatch I had the same question. Now, Blondie is certainly a better chap than Tuco but at this point in the film we don't know that yet and his title as "the good" does seem a bit misplaced. Maybe Blondie knew what a ruthless sob Tuco was and was certain he would die in the desert. Still, at this point in the film, we the audience don't know that so it doesn't make him "the good". EDIT: Ok, continuing my rewatch. Tuco is laughing at and taking pleasure in Blondie's predicament on his walk through the desert while Blondie's was solely business. And btw, how long did it take to get the shot where Tuco throws the wine-skin and it rolls right up to Blondie's face? I know they cut at the end but until that the trajectory is on target. Again, I detected no allegory in the book but did in the film. Maybe I'll give it another shot. She'd repressed the memory of the abuse. Book came out way before A Quiet Place was even a germ of an idea. Unfuckingbelievable. I read the book a about a year ago and while it wasn't perfect it was a pretty interesting horror scenario with some interesting scenes and characters. About 25 minutes into the film I got the "Oh, he we go again" feeling and came to these boards to hopefully prove my gut wrong. Nope. Can't we just tell a horror story without trying to attach it to the political agenda du jour? As far as I can remember the book was not an allegory but a straight up horror tale. Fuck that though. Turned it off. And that's a shame because if they didn't insert all their bullshit political agenda it would have made a good film. ALIENS No you're not alright. You got problems. Couldn't get it out of my head. Spitting image. Wesley are you OK Are you OK Welsey Sounds like he runs a pretty tight ship. Because Cory had the blackmail evidence (the tape) on Baynard and Marcone. Yes. The same reason they were going to kill Cory. Milo's boys killed Mike because he was originally on the Cory job that he handed off to Joe. This is serious. Who? The police? They actually thought Joe did it at one point because of the affair. They weren't trying to frame him. Milo and his boys? I don't think they ever tried to frame Joe for Mike's murder. Agree. If Eddie's plan the whole time was to get back into professional billiards he would have been practicing in secret the whole film. It's only after Vincent and Carmen leave that he starts playing. That's three weeks away from the tournament. Not nearly enough time after not playing for 25 years.
