your WTT top 3 things about Alexander Payne’s The Descendants:

1. after an hour of suffering, trying to place him and finally figuring out that, my god, Cousin Milo is Sheriff Truman from Twin Peaks! a moment of pure joy that surpassed the inclusion of Laird Hamilton as the best use of stunt casting in the film.

2. Payne needed a way to immediately connote that the philanderer Matthew Lillard was a pompous asshole. wisely, he chose a Stanford t-shirt.

3. the whole sequence of Clooney following Lillard up the beach, stumbling over sand, ducking behind hedges, his antic capering reminiscent of his sly movements in a better film, with a much more effective voiceover: Fantastic Mr. Fox.

(that these three things are my favorite parts of The Descendants should indicate that you need not see it unless you’re desperate for something your older relations might think is “a nice movie.”)
