    It's so hilarious that people are upset that their favorite pseudoscientific nonsense was passed over in favor of some slightly different pseudoscientific nonsense.

    The movie Lone Star has a great line that's relevant: "It's always heartwarming to see a prejudice overcome by a deeper prejudice."

    In the 90s, he had a meaty part in a John Sayles movie named Lone Star. It's an indie masterpiece; really wonderful. Chris Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, and Elizabeth Peña are in it.

    Anybody remember what happened to Lone Star? 3 episodes, not 3 seasons, for a critical and cult favorite.
