So true....
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What's the name of the book it's in (the Ellroy story)?
I think I read it in Hollywood Nocturnes, but he's also got a collection titled Dick Contino's Blues and Other Stories.
Brief synopsis: Dick Contino, a 50s accordion player, a star in the making, is destroyed by a draft-dodging scandal. His life is on the skids until he comes up with the idea of resurrecting his career with a fake kidnapping scam. Meanwhile a serial killer is on the loose.

Leo was great in Catch Me If You Can. And honestly, I think he was really good in Titanic, too, but so many people hate that movie, just because of the sheer size of it, and the dominance it had. Which is kind of sad, but oh well.

Actually, this reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask, which is:
The only instrumental soundtrack I've ever noticed and liked enough to buy is the one for Requiem for a Dream. Is there anything similar out there?

But what do glasses have to do with Titanic?
Oh, wait, you meant Spectacular Spectacles. Never mind...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From AMG:
Darren Aronofsky's second film Requiem for a Dream features a score from his Pi collaborator, former Pop Will Eat Itself vocalist/guitarist Clint Mansell. This time, Mansell blends his usual electronic/industrial leanings with brooding, evocative performances from the Kronos Quartet. As with Pi, Mansell's compositions play a large part in Requiem for a Dream, which is an adaptation of Hubert Selby's 1978 novel about the harrowing lives of four drug addicts. Impressively, Mansell's score manages to be appropriately dark and disturbing, as well as compulsively listenable. by Heather Phares
So. Try the soundtrack for Pi. Or maybe something by Pop Will Eat Itself. Or possibly something by Kronos Quartet (though they vary quite a bit from album to album depending obviously on the composer).

Hee. I came this close to posting something very similar.
