******************************************
i want to see the movie. we're going to stay out on the boat
this weekend and its supposed to rain, so i'm going to stop
by blockbuster and see if i can't pick up a few good movies
to watch. i've got the following on my short list: touch of
evil, double indemnity, they shoot horses, don't they? i've
also got my eye on the newer screen adaptation of _the
postman_, with jack nicholson and jessica lange in it. i've
seen the earlier one, and loved it. its time to give jack and
jessica a spin. i'm wanting to see armande assante in i, the
jury, but i'm reading the book now, and i don't wanna spoil
the ending.
i'm walking thru a number of the older classics right now. as
you can probably tell, as recommended by several on the list,
i got that 30's and 40's noir collection from terrill out in
los angeles, and i just finished up the 30's part with
anderson's _thieves like us_. some of the books i like, and
some of them i don't.
