Ok, so it's not just me? It's not some Kubrickian wink at something?
I wouldn't say it's infantile, just odd, especially compared with the rest (ok, the Papa-ooma-mow-mow surfin' bird scene bugged me, too... 'Who will play the indians?')..
Every time I watch this, I find the trash-talk scene with Joker and Mother incredibly jarring.. Their back and forth is so unfunny and the reactions of their audience so overblown ("Well, they call me 'the joker'.. LOL!! Oh no he didn't!! LOLOLOL HAhahahaha!!), that I have to ask - is it some...
What the.. Why so expensive on Amazon, et al??
Along with Last of the Mohicans, Rob Roy, and Master and Commander, this is one of my favourite 18/19th century dramas.
Ha! Didn't think of the radiation with Barrow.. Thought it might be the mistress poisening him now that she has the purse strings! :)
Seemed like they were saying goodbye, no thrird season.. :(
Yeah I'm not into the UFO stuff, either.. It's not even a duex ex machina, as it's not solving any problems with the story.
And I don't buy that it's a cherry-topper, as far as absurdity goes..
A reference to a reported incident, you say? I could get behind that..
