Forgot that the Remy Zero song played over the scene with the girl in the car. I love the dialogue in Suicide Kings, and I so need this on DVD for the alternate endings.

"You cut his fucking finger off, oh my god! He's going to kill us!"

And now I want to watch Killing Zoe again. Christian and I watched that out in the garage the first time, and we were gaping, perched on the edge of the couch through the end. Wild. Plus, Eric Stoltz.

I want to see a marathon of old Bogart films, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Casablanca and such.

Bogart Marathon. Cate's place. Definitely!

Woohoo!
Remind me to bring my notebook so I can work on my novel! :D

Eric Stoltz is always a plus.

You can't go wrong with the red haired man. He's in so many odd movies.

Just saw Casablanca again- I'm so glad there has never been a remake (brushing aside the David Soul TV thing, Havana and such.)i

Me too. Some movies just can't be redone. There was that lame remake of Sabrina a few years ago, and it made me want to throw things at my television. I understand why people want chances to play certain roles over and over in theater, but somehow it just doesn't seem to work with the movies. I don't know why that is.

In a word, chemistry. For all that, say, Bogie did dozens of forgettable contract roles for Warner's, he had an aura- a certain jaded romanticism- that no one's come close to capturing, any more than they can replicate, for examply, Mitchum's fatalistic cool. Mind, it's not impossible to recapture a performer's magic- Robert Downey Jr. in Chaplin comes to mind, as does Jessica Lange in Frances- but you need the luck of the gods.

Between Sabrina and Havana, Sydney Pollack- who's not untalented- should know better.±

You should go with a Jim Jarmusch marathon, now that I think on it.

As soon as I can scraggle up a complete copy of Twin Peaks that isn't eleven years old with a lot of horrid MC Hammer commercials, I may just start a Lynch marathon over here. But no one would want that. And I also need to find a few more elusive Lynch videos to honor my completist side.

You can't go wrong with David Lynch.
And that's another reason I love VHS, all those weird commercials.
