of course you've seen Redbelt.
Ah crap, he's in Salt. Now I have to see it.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I haven't seen the biopic where he's a DJ, but I'm dying to.
And you have to sit through Amistad but you get him and Djimon Honsou and Morgan Freeman all in the same movie.

He's just... I don't know. I heard a story one time, I don't remember who it was, but they were talking about working with James Dean, that just being in a scene with him made you a better actor. I imagine that's what it's like to work with Chiwetel.

oh yes! Talk to Me. Looking at his filmography I realize I have quite a few gaps. And I need to watch Amistad again now that I know who he is.

Yeah. I think him being in Redbelt made Mamet a better director, and I'm a big Mamet fan.

I didn't really like Glengarry Glen Ross but he's had me since House of Games. I think Redbelt is a better film than House of Games.

I think Redbelt is his best film yet. Have you seen Spanish Prisoner?

I did see it but I hardly remember. I think it might be time for a Mamet film fest at my house.

I didn't know this...
During the scene in the airport near the end of the film, the fussy child drops his book in front of Joe (Campbell Scott). The book is "The Giving Tree" by the late Shel Silverstein. Silverstein was a close friend of Mamet's and the two co-wrote the film Things Change (1988).
