Pinks
Still one of my favourite films and the trailer is very exciting too. I just had a Hellman craving but I don't have the time to sit and watch the film right now so this clip will do just perfectly as a taste. Usually, a simple viewing of the opening moments of the film has me hooked in and I'm there for the duration and all the Oatesy goodness but I have avoided that here and now for us all. It's such a meditative film for me that I can't expain why it's so attractive. Like Barbi Benton, it's something entirely personal.
absolutely loooooove this film. so...i dunno...perfect? cockfighter too - harry dean stanton, warren oates, monte hellman - can it get any better?

It certainly doesn't get much better...if it does. Even The Shooting is pretty cool but it's never received a decent release that I know of despite Jack Nicholson being in it. I have a crappy DVD version but I recall liking it. Hellman/Oates is golden.
ReplyDeleteWarren Oates is my favorite breakfast cereal. I got to meet Monte Hellman at the bar at Musso and Frank's one night. It was surreal.
ReplyDeleteFar out! Have you seen 'Ride The Whirlwind'? What's it like?
ReplyDeleteI saw Norman Jewison at my local cineplex place and wanted to go ask him what Warren Oates was like but I didn't.
