Have you seen "In Cold Blood"? A truly memorable film.


I haven't seen that, but it's on my list.

I watched Get Shorty. It was an interesting diversion. Carried the same momentum all the way through. Lacked a bit of spark or urgency. But even middling movies back then had so many charismatic actors on screen to make it worthy of a watch - this one had John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Danny De Vito and Dennis Farina, plus the likes of Delroy Lindo, James Gandolfini and David Paymer in smaller roles. Harvey Keitel's cameo at the end cracked me up as well.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
