04.05.06Weird Wednesday In the hour or so since I saw the final shot in this movie, I've been trying to think of what to say about it. It'spretty clearly great, but it's like it's hit me in the chest or something because I can't even come up with a genre for it. I loved the guy laughing about a kid not talking, the telephone dude's "uniform" of a shirt that says "Coors Breakfast of Champions," the one guy yelling out his death count as he unsuccessfully tries to raise it and especially that last shot... what is a last shot like that doing in a movie like this? The bit character that sells the kidnappers an ear has no business being that charismatic and effective in his role. I think this is one that will grow on me like Convention Girls did... Ask me in a month and I will laugh as uproariously as the boss did when he learned the kid couldn't talk.
