It’s Christmas every day in Orwell’s surreal nightmare.

How long can you stay at the top?

Can’t control the bull in or out of the ring.

A perfect match for dysfunctional members of society.

A nice layup from Scorsese but no slam dunk.

A psychological spinoff of the Batman franchise... without the psychology.
