Every scene featuring Jeff is the least heterosexual thing I've seen since I watched Gilda (also with sovay) (really an unsurprisingly incredible track record here). I came out of this movie desperate to make people watch Jeff's introductory scene as a teaser and was so disappointed that no one had clipped it that eventually I had to do it myself

"Choose between us, Eager, me or your beloved."

Thank you for your service.

It came up that neither Beth nor I had seen this Disney movie about a 1930s stunt pilot who finds a jetpack and is subsequently pursued by a combo of The Mob and evil British actor Timothy Dalton, playing evil Nazi British actor not!Timothy Dalton.

I am incredibly fond of this movie for a whole lot of reasons, but a minor and representative one is that the goon to whom nothing good happens (played by Max Grodénchik! only time I have ever seen his human face! it's a nice one!) is named Wilmer.

But I don't like Hank either because I do actually think you should feel bad for getting someone to trust you profoundly when you know you're going to betray them, and I do think it's interesting that Cody's the only person in the film who shows any sign of having human affection for anybody.

If Anthony Mann had directed it, I am pretty sure their relationship would have been the linchpin of White Heat, because he cares almost obsessively in his film noir period about the moral swamp of undercover work (and when he moves into Westerns, he just finds different moral swamps to drop his characters into), but it was directed by Raoul Walsh and I like him very much as a director, but he's not interested the same way.
