A shout out to this black comedy noir not enough people saw. Joe Pesci plays a wiseguy (gasp) transporting a duffel bag full of heads (double gasp) who subsequntly gets involved in hijinks.

if anyone in here was waiting to participate in the final exciting pages in the absolute shitshow that is the 50 best games of all time thread, now would be a great time to do so
Next time I voluntarily track one of those things, can someone slap me? Like, physically come to my house and just remind me I'm a goddamn idiot?
hey here's a stupid question about My Cousin Vinny
I have heard here and there over the years that the movie's legal details are surprisingly accurate and that it basically gets everything right
I'm not a lawyer, but two of the finer points of the trial always stood out to me as weird, and I'm curious if they are in fact accurate to how it might work in real life:
1. When the prosecution introduces the automobile expert, Vinny objects, and very thoroughly explains the grounds for his objection. The judge congratulates him on his thorough and cogent argument, and then overrules him and lets witness testify anyway. Specifically, Vinny's objection is that he was given no advance notice of this witness, and has had no time to research the subject he'll be testifying on or field an expert of his own to counter his arguments, basically arguing that the prosecution has violated discovery procedures by surprising him with this witness. Is the judge... allowed to overrule that objection? If he did, would that be grounds for appeal? Vinny ends up winning the case anyway, but suppose he didn't. The judge's ruling here seems very clearly motivated by personal animus toward Vinny and not based on any legal reasoning. I know judges have a lot of latitude in the courtroom they preside over but letting the prosecution violate discovery rules seems to me, a layman, like an overreach.
2. Vinny eventually counters this maneuver by calling a surprise expert witness of his own, his fiancee. Would he... be allowed to do that? As soon as he admits that she's his fiancee it seems like the prosecution should object on the grounds that it's a conflict of interest, that she's incentivized to lie on the stand for the benefit of her boyfriend. They test her knowledge and the prosecution is satisfied (and embarrassed) enough that he agrees that she's sufficiently knowledgeable to act as an expert, but all that means is that she's knowledgeable enough to make a lie sound convincing. I guess again it's a bit of a moot point because her testimony is backed up by the revelation that a criminal in a nearly identical car was arrested with a gun matching the murder weapon, but it's just always struck me as weird that Vinny's allowed to put his fiancee on the stand and the only pushback is whether she's qualified to testify.
These aren't like, meaningful plotholes that sink the movie for me or anything, I adore My Cousin Vinny. I wouldn't even really put much thought into either thing if not for how much I've heard that the movie is really legally accurate. I'm just curious if these are two points where the movie bends the rules for the sake of jokes/storytelling
the plot shortcut in My Cousin Vinny that DOES bother me is when Vinny looks at the photo of the tire tracks and, apparently, has the exact same epiphany that Lisa does, even though they don't really establish that he's got the same depth of car expertise as her. He has a throwaway line about working in her dad's garage but you're not ever given the impression that he can just endlessly rattle off facts about cars the way she can, which makes the fact that he even thinks to call her to testify when he looks at the photo feel weird to me

1. Yes, it would. The objection preserved the matter for appeal. You must object, have it on the the record, and have the judge rule on it on the record in order to preserve it to appeal. And yes, small town judges do power-trip like that all the time.
2. It was exceptional circumstances. Experts are treated differently than normal witnesses, voir dire is normally used to qualify experts. He was calling her specifically as rebuttal testimony, and there is are particular exceptions carved out for calling rebuttal testimony. Vinny narrowly defined the scope of what his fiance was testifying to and put the impetus on the prosecution to challenge her via voir dire on the stand. That whole setup is stuff that wouldn't normally happen, because normally the prosecution isn't going to be able to ambush you like that at trial.
A remind that a small town judge once completely shut me down and refused to hear any arguments when the other side didn't show up because he thought I needed to be put in my place.
EDIT: He has the epiphany, but he cannot testify on the stand. Which is why he calls Marisa Tomei to the stand. He knows she'll reach the same conclusion as him once she looks at the photos.

My Cousin Vinny is the second most accurate depiction of the law in a movie.
The most by far is Anatomy of a Murder. It's the only movie I know of that shows the research aspect of the law and makes it interesting. It's a very good movie.

No yeah that part I get, I know he can't just start droppin' car facts as a lawyer and has to establish his conclusion from testimony/evidence. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me that he has the epiphany in the first place.
I low-to-highkey hate more John Hughes movies than I don't, and it always really cheesed me that everybody finds love except for the kid who attempted suicide and got laughed at for it
