lonesome_jim_ver2  

"Lonesome Jim," written by James C. Strouse, is the third feature film directed by Mr. Buscemi, whose 1996 movie, "Trees Lounge," depicted a similar state of ennui gripping a town in suburban Long Island. 



Mr. Buscemi also wrote and starred in that small [gem] of a movie, which [had] more psychological nuance than this emotionally cauterized slice of minimalist malaise

slag

pyrethum

Personally, I prefer a pyrethrum job to a fluoride. With the pyrethrum, you kill the roaches right there in front of God and the client. whereas this starch and fluoride, leave it around, the roaches eat it, come back a few days later, they're running around fat as hogs. 除蟲菊,除蟲菊粉

Plus, I’m really proud of this film and am so [stoked] to be in it. 

Indeed, if anything, he is more so—more stoked [up] with anger and defiance at the reasonable efforts of the reformers to get him to be good and conform.

The opening sequence is by turns manipulative- [stoking] our indignation at the policemen’s casually insensitive and implicitly racist handling of the confrontation between Jean and Amadou- and naturalistic, artfully [thwarting] our desire to reach easy judgement.

Careful with that brazier.
