Ever since I discovered that Miller's Crossing was released on DVD, my movie nerves have been tingling with a Christmas night anticipation. I got it a couple of days ago through Netflix, and I've already watched it twice. I love that movie so much. There are SO MANY good scenes and lines. I'm not sure why it is I have only met a handful of people who really appreciate how much depth is in that movie. Most think it is just a quirky gangster movie, and are quick to compare it with the 2 G's of the genre (if you don't know, I ain't tellin'), but in my mind that's like comparing Hamlet to Macbeth - you can do it, but you're mostly just spinning wheels.
I also got a chance to see That One Guy, who is one of my favorite performers in the world. It's possible he will be playing again in September, so those of you in the bay area might get another chance to see him. It's a hell of a show that you cannot help but be absorbed into. Nuff said.
