You're thinking of Alexander Acosta. He's the one who sprang Epstein.

And they are reasonably historically accurate!

Interesting thoughts. I had been under the impression that it was supposed to be a dark comedy (my favorite kind) but maybe that was incorrect. I did think it was funny when the conductor was awakened in the middle of the night and he thought the secret police had come for him only to find himself dragged to the podium to conduct in his bathrobe. I thought Steve Buscemi was very amusing.

I'm against human sacrifice, in principle anyway. But if Trump's gonna do it, it would probably be best for ratings if he took Azar to the top of a pyramid for the ceremony, like a common Aztec virgin.

Only a matter of time until one of these scumbags infects the rest.

I thought it was funny but I did my B.A. in the early 80s when Chairmen kept dying regularly while we were trying to study the government of the USSR. It made things interesting but I could also see just about everything in the movie having a basis in reality. A little heavy on the slapstick though.

It was a very interesting looking dog but very sweet and liked to play with my two mutts (mutt is not a bad word at my house). He laid on the ground with his paws under his head (very cutely) and looked at us. His owner said he thinks he's invisible.

Part 2. I have an unusual looking dog too. We had his dna tested -25% jack russell, 12%poodle, 12% golden retriever and the rest unknown. That explains it.
