    more like a complete asshole!

    timothee did wonders as bob and really captured a kind of determined coldness i love to see on screen. went in w/o reading the book its based on or knowing much about dylan beyond a few songs and its willed me to listen/learn/read more on bob, which i suppose achieves james’ purpose w the film.

     i think this can be spruced up a bit, particularly in favor of more on the erosion of the ship…
