in his tracks
Connolly’s character Noah otherwise
known as ill duche gives him an
even-steven chance of making it out of
the situation alive by snapping shut two

as weapons the group comes to
realizations at the worst moment
possible oh come on we all know you’re
in love with knees that is not true

described as exhausting
she broke our nnk novato Barsotti
modernity and omens Hannah McKay each

Yolanda what’s Fonzie lights cool what
who wrecked amundo cool as a cucumber
however Jules utters a certain Bible
quote Ezekiel 25:17
and manages to strut out unharmed the
path of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil men who
needs bullets when you’re a badass mofos
like Sam Jackson and I will strike down
upon thee with great vengeance and
furious anger those who attempt to
poison and destroy my brothers and you
will know I am the Lord when I lay my
vengeance upon you
number five mirror image face off I
don’t know what I hate wearing worse
your face or your body this standoff
takes place in one of those rooms that
seems only to exist in movies it’s
around foya filled with mirrors like a
hotel lobby funhouse the FBI agent and
the notorious criminal go face-to-face
or should we say back-to-back against
one of those mirrors and each is wearing
the others face and I enjoy boning your
wife with taunts and insults coming from
either side

other just kill each other and face the
music
number four don’t make me do this

normal you lost you good night in this
who can you trust scenario a gang of
thieves and wiseguys goes head to head
to head as they try to figure out who
the rat is mob guys nobody wants this
we’re supposed to be professionals
visually this standoff is brilliant as
we get some eerie extreme close-ups and
a wide shot of all those involved
including
them bleeding out mr. orange on the
ground I don’t have the slightest an
idea what you’re talking about but
ultimately it’s a difference of opinions
between longtime associates Joe mr.
white and nice guy Eddie that leads to a
triangle of barrels and a textbook
Mexican standoff god damn you Joe don’t
make me do this large deployment
conjoined my dad number three
waterlogged wipeout Pirates of the
Caribbean at World’s End sons
after they flip the ship and managed to
return from the next world to the living
one it’s understandable that everyone’s
a bit on edge but at first it seems like
waves of awkward laughter we’ll settle
this predicament all right
however everyone is quick to draw again
in constant disagreement and agitatedly
shifting their aim all five involved are
getting a little trigger-happy and
Captain Jack Sparrow decides to cast the
first stone count on that but fails
miserably and so does everyone else
well what gunpowder don’t work seriously

use Oh miss Kraus sorry fake tip done
number two testes situation inglorious

quicker than one big three guys 50 or so
paces and a hell of a lot of squinting

the scowling faces of those involved
including a cigar chewing Clint Eastwood
