  • The detective fixates on Keaton and never finds it suspicious that the one cripple survived the boat explosion without a mark, likened to a bad-job moment.
  • Soze described like a tall Glenn Danzig does not match Spacey, who is not cool like that; the other host counters that the mythology is a shield, so this nit is disputed.
