you’re a douchebag. i never said it was objectively better, it’s called personal preference. and i’m more than a little well versed in movies.

you an idiot. no joke.

there is literally no respect in which The Rainmaker is better than The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Conversation, or Apocalypse Now.

way to highlight your own narrowness by publicizing three well-known and thoroughly middling movies!

inherit the wind might be culturally relevant if it weren’t a gross oversimplification of the whole scopes trial in the service of boring liberal pieties. edward larson’s book Summer for the Gods is a much more even-handed, probing, and interesting account of the scopes trial.

also Anatomy of a Murder is bomb-ass.

You don’t find it infuriating, saddening, and contemptible that people still reject evolution and are happy to share in all the other benefits of science?

tom cruise belongs no where near this phrase, unless the sentence is “Tom Cruise is not, and never will be, part of an awesome trifecta.”

Inherit the Wind is such a great movie. Cultural relevance be damned!

No court movie list is complete without To Kill a Mockingbird, Anatomy of a Murder, or …And Justice For All (the Al Pacino film, not the Metallica album).

HillDog is speaking at a high school graduation that is renting out Roone Arledge at Lerner Hall. There was a minor media stakeout here earlier this evening

Bwog is far too happy that Inherit the Wind is still culturally relevant.

It wasn’t for a long time. Then Amerirepublikkkristhian$ in the flyover states rediscovered willful ignorance.

The trial of Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica with Apollo as his attorney beats any of these movies
