So is this what I am to expect no matter where I go? Whether or near or far, always castigated as a villain, always shunned for my failures.

Should I rage or despair? Should I struggle or surrender?

No matter. The end result is always the same. Forever untrusted.

Dick Hallorann woke with a start. All night, he had been plagued by strange dreams, dreams of the old hotel. That was nothing new, hardly a week had gone by in the last decade where he didn't have nightmares about what happened. This, however, was different.

This was new.

Dick rolled out of bed with a groan. His axe wound never hurt so bad as right when he woke up, like it was telling him to stay in bed. Somedays he listened to it, but you couldn't live your life that way and still call it living. Grabbing the sturdy oak cane from beside his bedside, he hobbled his way over to a dresser made from the same wood as his cane, from back when he did that sort of thing. With a tremendous effort, Dick knelt down, his knees popping off like it was the Forth of July. Pulling open the drawer and pushing aside a couple layers of ugly sweaters, he saw it and his heart stopped. There at the bottom of the drawer was a small badge, faintly illuminated by some unknown power. "God drat," he whispered, "after all this time."

The Shining had called him back to the force. The glowing badge could only mean one thing, ghosts in a hotel. Not on his watch. Not again. He stood suddenly, strengthened by the power of The Shining. He twirled his cane through a series of combat forms before snapping the thick wood in his hands and throwing it aside. He wouldn't be needing it again, Dick knew this was probably a one-way trip. He walked over to the phone and dialed instinctively dialed a number he couldn't have known.

"Hello, Grand Budapest Hotel? I'd like to make a reservation."

the problem with GBH is that the central plot isn't actually very interesting and mostly serves as an excuse to transition between various settings. the film is carried by anderson's typically impressive visuals and almost universally excellent performances. by no means is GBH close to being a bad movie, but i feel like the writing is lacking any actual impact or message. i should see it again, but at the end i walked out of the theatre thinking 'what was i supposed to take away from that?' i'm not even sure if the characters really develop bc the problem with having eight hundred different talented actors on screen is that if you spend more than two minutes of screen time on any given one, someone gets left out.

i mean ralph fiennes is more or less exactly the same for having gone through prison.

Hello.

1) I did not die. I am merely a projection utilizing a mirror, a smoke machine, and a train set from 1879 that old man Jenkins uses to scare off the tourists to get his farm land back.

2) See above re: vengeance; tourists

Tremendous taste, why should I kill YPM with my dayvig?

Tremendous Taste, if he is town, will try some inane gambit that has a 10% chance of working and a 90% chance of getting at least 3 town people killed. If he is scum, you should kill him anyway.

If I'm scum, I will most likely be more busy talking to my scumbuddies then I would posting here, leading me to being a strong lylo-1 lynch, which means I'm probably going to die anyway if that's the case. If I'm town, I will probably try to lead a charge on another town person, only to have my analysis proven incorrect, which will lead me to slink into the background and follow Mills and Ernie to victory.

In short, I am much less harmful than he is as both town and scum, and therefore you should kill TT.

Plus I will laugh and laugh and laugh.
