2) He deserves everything he gets. LOL. Believe me he'll give it to me three times worse. I'm going to start a podcast in a month or so and Matt will be a great guest, frack to my frick, or is it the other way around? He'll say "a bit" and I'll say "Mad cool" and then the sparks will fly. LOL
I just watched All The President's Men again recently. It's amazing that Pakula is able to keep that movie tense and spooky when you know the ending going in. Great supporting cast, too.
[4] But really, you have a problem with "bit?" Seems an odd choice of a word that sets you off. But then again, what's the point of an irrational hatred if it's not irrational?
It's a great film. For some reason I always think of Soderbergh's "Out of Sight," another great flick. The lack of incidental music in All The President’s Men, as well as (perhaps) the color palette seemed to influence SS quite a bit. I believe there's some yellow and blue, but what really stuck out was the orange.
[9] I recall a NY Times article a few years ago where Soderbergh talked at length about All the President's Men, and particularly about the color pallette, how Gordon Willis mixed those cold, icy blues with warmer tones, depending on the scene. He's on the record as a big fan.
It's a bit on the nose, no? I mean, the song uses the term "Watergate."
"a bit"? What are you some kind of Brit? Please remove "bit" from your vocabulary, Sir. See "Elements of Style."
Point is well taken, though. I think "Shake Your Rump" would have been ideal.
I say, a tad rough on Blankman there, weren't you, Alex? We needn't be quite so, shall we say, chauvinistic about matters stylistic, eh wot?

[4] I do deserve it...just a bit.
5) YOU DA MAN!

Gotta love Pakula's pranoia trilogy.
"a bit" is weak and passive. Be strong and concise. "A bit" qualifies a statement. Have the courage of your convictions, man!
[11] But sometimes a bit is an accurate modifier - like "Alex is a bit of a douche."
Do you approve of using its other meaning? When someone asks you about Ken Clay?
Lol my man! And yes I approve of the other usage.
Love that film. Book was great too.
Podcast mania is coming?? I demand an episode on why Speilberg is a total hack who helped ruin American cinema!!
Def. looking forward to the Belth & Blank Show podcast (a little bit)!
