I could never watch a movie with Stav, I would lose my fucking mind.
I don't know why but Stav mistaking David Lean as Ang Lee and sounding excited that the Bridge on the River Kwai was made by Ang Lee is possibly the funniest bit ever on this show.
I love how Stav just doesn't get storytelling.

Stav seems not to understand that there were no mass produced machine made clothes back in 1940s and even 1950s, wasn't until the 60s that it started to become the norm. All the suits back when everyone wore suits were tailored hand made by a tailor who would measure you and make you clothes that fit, much like the cobbler who measured your foot dimensions and cobbled you a new pair of shoes. This is why everybody wore suits and nice shoes all the time because they fit properly and were indeed very comfortable. We can hardly even fathom it now because we've become so accustomed to this world of machine made garbage "one size fits all" bullshit "Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large" garbage. Vietnam war was just a scam by the military industrial complex to get land secured in Vietnam to set up textiles manufacturing factories, easily done once the army burned down the jungle with the DuPont made napalm. War is a racket.

The girls are Thai. The actual bridge is in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. The movie is based on a book by the Frenchman Pierre Boule and is a great story that never happened. The bridge was knocked out by American bombers from Chongqing China.

He's just there as a glorified laugh track. Least Adam can occasionally be funny, Stav just sucks.

Somewhere along the way I made the mistake of think Stav was actually secretly smart. He went to one of the better schools in Baltimore (it was Poly but that's the best you can do in Baltimore). He went to college. I tricked myself into think he wasn't a complete moron but he really is.
