Who would you choose to be your conjoined twin?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! I don’t really comment much either; you and I are like two peas in a pod in that way.

Who would you choose to be your conjoined twin?
If there’s a real-world recognition only 18 people in history have achieved, don’t open a movie saying a character is among those elite few. Tár is a fictional film, but announcing her as an EGOT winner is a step too far. Eighteen people! The most blatant example of this is the oddball comedy Stuck on You; one of the conjoined twins claims to have won the Heisman Trophy … twice. They hang a lantern on it, though, stating anybody with half an interest in football knows Archie Griffin is the only 2-time Heisman winner. [FYI: I’d choose to be Matt Damon’s conjoined twin—sharing his DNA, obviously.] The intent in Tár is to show she’s a badass conductor—a mega star. The rest of the 2-minute introduction prior to her lengthy interview is more than sufficient to achieve that goal. I also dislike that the results of Tár’s legal issues are left unclear. I assume she skips bail, fleeing to a non-extradition Southeast Asian country: Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos. After all, as the famous saying goes, “Music folk gonna music!” Yeah, it’s a real saying! As real as Tár winning the EGOT.
