dirty pretty thangs
great writers and directors who can't wait to work with me, a fat check with my name on it, oscar & tony, a rebuilt new orleans and gulf coast that includes and focuses on the people who had to leave, a credit card balance of zero, a bigger apartment for the same rent, bush and co. behind bars, and so on and so on
is always on
Baby Doll, Nights of Cabiria, Be With Me, Dog Day Afternoon, Crooklyn...making it a point to see more movies- on foreign classics (pbly what they'd be called) right now. But I get sleepy, so it takes a few days for me to watch one.
