i wish more true crime was in this vein-- so tired of the new american gothic serial killer crap, it is a tremendously callow and crass fad. give me Jack Black playing well out of his depth, every variety of grifter, white collar crime by blue collar perps. and give me schwartzman as sidekick all day long.
Do you know any truly honest charismatic people? does the nature of charisma itself involve airbrushing the details enough, a lack of allegiance to inconvenient facts? or am i just trying to make lack of charisma commendable? probably more the latter, but still, anytime someone is trying with gusto to charm a room, my ears are up for slips, fallacies, uncitables. Nuance is so loathed in America, and that creates opportunities for the all-american con man, the archetypal harvester of the seeds of greed.
