...because of the thread below I pulled out and watched my original laser disc copy of Blood Simple, not the lesser "Director's cut" imo.Wow, what a movie. And I'm reminded yet again of what great character actors the Coen brothers used. M. Emmet Walsh, Dan Hedaya (and later John Goodman and Trey Wilson).
"The world is full of complainers. But the fact is, nothing comes with a guarantee. I don't care if you're the Pope of Rome, President of the United States or Man of the Year, something can all go wrong. But go ahead, complain, tell your problems to your neighbor, ask for help, and watch him fly. Now in Russia, they got it all mapped out so that everyone pulls for everyone else. That's the theory anyway. But what I know about is Texas, and down here... you're on your own."
And now I'm going out to Blind Willie's in Atlanta to hear Rosie Flores and some great rockabilly!
