- No, but do you have an ideal of how society should function? - I don’t know. You remember that movie about Tonya Harding that came out? - I think it was I, Tonya? - Yeah. There’s a scene where she’s not getting scored correctly because they don’t think she represents what America is.

American Gangster

Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan.

Have you ever seen American Gangster? You know Bumpy, the guy at the start who has a heart attack? My grandpa used to work with him, he was his right-hand man in real life. They ran numbers together. Those guys had this drive to go out and make something of themselves by any means necessary. So I look at all of them, and I wonder why does it stop with me, and I realize that it's because I have so many options available.

It's a very snobby, geeky lyric but it has my favourite things in it: one of my favourite movies (The 400 Blows) and a double entendre (Truffaut and "true-faux", as in fake).

The Counselor

A lawyer finds himself in far over his head when he attempts to get involved in drug trafficking.
Donald Glover
Actor, Musician
The Atlanta staff writers’ text-message group is named “Team Bolito,” after a mechanical weapon featured in Ridley Scott’s 2013 The Counselor. Glover says the writers became “super-obsessed” with a clip in which Brad Pitt’s character succumbs to the bolito, and they “watched it every day, probably three times a day.” He predicts, “[The Counselor] will probably become a classic.”
