For a brief period in the '90s, legal thrillers were all the rage. They were as ubiquitous as superhero movies in the 2010s and they attracted top-tier filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Altman and Alan J. Pakula. Then Hollywood ran out of John Grisham novels to adapt and turned to comic books instead. Juror #2, sadly rumoured to be Clint Eastwood's final film (he is 95, after all), somewhat fittingly arrives at a time when audiences seem to have finally tired of watching men in tights punch one another. It's a throwback to those '90s thrillers, complete with obligatory Southern setting, and a reminder that while those films were no less hokey in their own way than a Batman movie, they were a fun time made for adults and a dream for the actors involved.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
