ATTN NYCISTAS!
Film Forum is currently in the middle of a Billy Wilder programme, and tonight and tomorrow they will be showing Ace in the Hole, which I raved about for weeks after seeing it there during their last Wilder-a-thon. This is a devastatingly brilliant movie that's not available on any home video format (I believe there are rights issues), so if you have time this weekend, GO SEE IT. I'll be at the 5:20 show tomorrow evening.
Betsy and Brenda - mine too.

Jan Sterling has some of the greatest noir tough-chick lines ever in this movie.
Reporter: "Hey lady, you wanna pray for the kid trapped in the well?"
Jan: "I don't kneel. It wrinkles my nylons."
Last night, I watched Jarmusch's
Mystery Train
for the first time since Joe Strummer died. I've seen it several times, and each time it's as funny and wonderful as I thought it was the first time, but this time it was a little bittersweet and sad as well.
Also, I came into it (it was on cable) most of the way through Far From Yokohama, which is my favorite piece in the movie, but the other two sections are still wonderful.
Has it been mentioned that Del Toro and Pearlman are back for
Hellboy 2,
yet?
Whoohoo! I'm ready for more Hellboy, anytime.
That's great. I enjoyed the first one.
I'm just going to throw this out here for Deadwood fans: Steve the Drunk is played by the same actor who played Xander's father.
