    I think the private investigators all drive bugs because they’re like the bugs that gather around a body. My friend told me my takes on coen brothers and sopranos aren’t based in evidence and are “just vibes” and I’m so embarrassed that it’s really hurt my feelings. Makes me want to just make content about my takes and relate them to my politics. Theres a saying in 12-step that all it takes to start a new meeting is a resentment and a coffee pot.

    I love Miller's Crossing, one of their best films and that is saying something. They are known for only shooting things that were in the script and nothing ever ending up on the cutting floor, but I spoke to somebody who worked on it online several years ago, and he said there was a car chase scene or something that he worked on that is not in the movie, I'm very curious of where that would be.

    • @Studeb

    This is surprisingly good. The Coens' take on noir is a winner of a discussion focus. And not just their take; the lady is very, you know, yeah, switched on, too - summa cum laude to borrow an American superlative, top notch in the role. Joel Coen seems to find her nimble-minded explorations and parlays of their and the genre's ideas stimulating, as do many viewers I'm sure. Now I'm going to find out her name and watch some more of her interviews, because I feel a bit sexist for not having done so already.
