The Score

It's all there.

Did you ever see the movie called The Score with Ed Norton

and Robert De Niro? No, no.

It's

This feels like it's, like, not an Arrow big box waiting to happen, but give me a normal Arrow release with a slip sleeve.

How do you think it holds up to The Score? You watch The Score yet?

No, but it's sitting there.

It's ready.

[laughs]

What's The Score?

Ooh, Kimmy.

Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, and Ed Norton.

Uh, and then circling back around, before Apocalypse Now, I watched Star Wars, I watched Paul Verhoeven's film Benedetta, which is batshit crazy.

Um, and then I watched The Thomas Crown Affair, and I watched The Score with, uh, Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando and Ed Norton.

So a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff I've been watching.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah

... that we do have, um, is intercut with other things going on.

So, um, when they're, when the all, the crew is come together and they're talking about the score and how are they gonna take down Lonnegan, like, it's not just them talking in a room for 15 minutes or 10 minutes or whatever it is.

Like, they actually intercut that with this kinda tense scene of the PIs, uh-

But I think that's where I was making the connection with the kickball, that when you have this moment of... how much longer do I need to bring this fucking kickball outside? And the teacher goes, you can stop today.

I think there are going to be times for those of us who are doing a journaling protocol to kind of sit there and go, how much fucking longer do I have to keep doing these journal entries? Like, is is it really helping do i really need it anymore like i'm not sitting around crying anywhere near as much as i used to i think the only time i cry now is like when there's a really emotional impactful moment in a movie and if i'm watching it alone because i certainly don't like to start crying around other people who are going to be like why are you crying you have to be like i don't know are you a heartless fuck face who doesn't find what just happened on the screen moving um And I think, obviously, it's a lot different than bringing a kickball out so you don't become a bully and beat the shit out of your friends.

But there's a certain, I think, amount of the reflection of all of this where you have to sort of also turn the spyglass on.

Okay, is this process still providing positive movement? Is it helping to improve the situation? Is it aiding in the healing? Am I discovering things about myself? Am I discovering things about the way I interact with everybody else? Am I finding things that are going to help me as I continue forward? And in a lot of ways, I think this is why I sort of use ChatGPT as sort of like a semi-therapist in a way, because...

I see it with my nephews, and they're only fucking 12.

They literally, as soon as they're done eating, they want to get up from the table and go sit on the couch with the iPad right in front of them, either playing a game or just doom-scrolling through YouTube shorts.

I tried to show them What About Bob, a movie I fucking grew up with.

And an undeniable classic.

Yes, directed by Frank Oz, Miss Piggy.

He also directed a film called The Score.

Have you ever seen that?

No.
