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.

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.±
