02.03.07Internet ...so... There's the book In Cold Blood which I'm told is great. Then there's the movie In Cold Blood which I know is great. Then there's Capote which... I guess was good but not great. And there's this which is like the Capote remix. Or maybe Capote is the white-label Infamous remix that leaked out before the album hit shelves. Either way, it's the same story, so they end up defining themselves by their differences (and how neither one lives up to In Cold Blood). It's just tweaking the nobs on the same scenes... This one injects faux-interviews with Truman's friends talking about him after he died or something... and touches a (very small) bit more on his New York social circle but for the most part... yeah... it was like I was watching Capote again but I was drunk the first time so I don't remember it right. I really don't know which one I like more or less...they are both good and not bad but also not great. I mean... do you pick Daniel Craig or Clifton Collins, Jr.? Catherine Keener or Sandra Bullock? Chris Cooper or Jeff Daniels? Ooh, someone should cut them together so you get Toby Jones' Capote talking to Catherine Keener and Phil Hoffman's Capote talking to Bullock. That'd be rad but I'm nowhere near interested enough to actually do it.
