I’ve heard people say, “it’s good to talk,” but others have told me, “it’s good shut up.” It depends on what we have to say.

I know you think Sam Rockwell is the finest actor of his generation, but don’t you dare open PowerPoint. No, thank you.
(I kind of agree with you, though. In fact here are my top five Rockwell movies: Moon, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Cowboys and Aliens, The Way Way Back , and Some Number of Billboards Outside That Small Town in America.)
