Henry Rollins character was the C.I. That's why Hanna and Casels go to his place after the heist/shootout and ask him where he got his info from. Waingro told Rollins about the heist after extracting it from Trejo. There is a deleted scene showing Waingro and some other thugs at Trejo's house when Trejo returns there after calling Neil on the pay phone to tell the crew that he can't make the heist. Waingro held Trejo's wife hostage in order to get Trejo to withdraw from the heist and give Waingro the info on where and when the score would be, which he then passed along to van Zant who in turn passed in on to Henry Rollin's characacter. Or perhaps Waingro called and told Rollins directly. I sincerely think Michael Gandolfini would be better off playing Michael Cerrito(Sizemore's character) because James Gandolfini and Sizemore(RIP to both) reminded me a lot of each other in terms of their presences and acting styles, and if the younger Gandolfini could channel his father(one of the few good things about MSON), then surely he could channel Sizemore as Cerrito. He does, yeah! Own one and frequently wear it in the fall and winter and in rainy weather. Can't remember how I got it, believe it or not, and it looks better on me now than it would have when I was younger. <blockquote>Oliver Sacks (the real life doctor) has a problem recognising faces, which strains any social interaction with people he's unfamiliar with. And shyness to it, and you get an almost total hermit. </blockquote>Added to which the real Sacks was gay, so of course he's not going to be comfortable dancing with a woman! <blockquote>Boggs. Ain’t no way he’ll be hurting people anymore from that chair he’s in. If did start to get outta line all someone has to do is take his straw away and he’d starve to death. </blockquote>Bingo. <blockquote>I'd definitely be game for checking out a horror movie by [Fincher]. Same goes for Scorsese, Tarantino and Nolan. Would be interesting to see.</blockquote>I utterly concur! Alas, I think all of those directors, with the possible exception of Nolan, consider the horror genre to be "beneath" them and thus will not dabble there. Shame. Good heavens, no! We interred him without the slightest disrespect to his form, in full uniform dress and with full military honors, complete with a 21 gun salute and sealed his coffin inside the earth with concrete. We kept his diary, Medal of Knighthood, chronometer, and certain other of his effects with a view to returning them to Lady Jane should any of us make it home. Whether any of our officers or men ever did, I know not. <blockquote>While you're at it, send my regards to Sir John Franklin. </blockquote>I shall, next time I visit the islet off Cape Felix where we buried him. I hadn't even heard of The Wager until happening across your post just now. Looked it up via the wikipedia article on him. <b>That</b> film I am <i>very</i> much looking forward to! Also looking forward to The Killers of the Flower Moon as well. <blockquote>I don't know what DEI means</blockquote>Diversity Equity Inclusion <blockquote>I can just say whatever nonsense I want under the guise of "well, it's 'metaphysics'" and all is well? It honestly sounds like you're just trying to be an apologist for his irrational beliefs, by moving them into some netherworld which has zero falsifiability.</blockquote> Exactly. What can be asserted without evidence can be refuted without evidence, and if your argument fails--for that or any other reason--to hold up to scrutiny, then you have no authority to put it forward. <blockquote>[H]is point about facts and feelings are that feelings don't trump facts in our physical world, but religion or lack thereof is an area with no facts at all. Besides, can we be sure that Shapiro's belief isn't in fact true? There isn't any more evidence disproving his faith as there is to prove it.</blockquote>Shapiro usually backs up his arguments with facts and evidence, but when it comes to his religious ideology, he refuses, or fails, and fall on the tired old Well-you-can't-DISPROVE-my-claims crutch. Anything that can be asserted without evidence can be refuted without evidence. And such intellectual cowardice flies in the face of every other mode of argument he undertakes. I think what the OP is getting at is that religious people believe the things they believe because believing those things makes them feel good. If Shapiro was sincere in his facts-don't-care-about-your-feelings philosophy he wouldn't indulge in wish-thinking. Meriwether Lewis Captain Sir John Ross King George V(father of the man whose life was the subject of The King's Speech) Eugene Cernan <blockquote>hate speech has no place in the public discourse.</blockquote> Define "hate speech". If by "hate speech" you mean simply a dissenting opinion, then by definition you admit to being in favor of censiorship, thereby proving CraigC's point. Tommy stabs Morrie with an ice pick, that's why it slides into and back out of his neck. I'm sure, being a made man who had just done six years in the can, Batts had done far worse things than make fun of a junior gangster's shoe-shining days. So yes, I'd say so. Dr. House and Father Brown! Two Sherlock Holmes-esque characters, one a doctor, the other a priest. Getting schooled by a pack of dogs. Doesn't get much better than that.
