'How would you like that,' Robert
Mitchum playing Eddie Coyle in the movie of the same name akses it better, of
his bartender, 'your wife and kids / on welfare?' It's a solid movie, and though its title
doesn't qualify for any of the 'we're going to make' - What Would Jack Say - 'a
new rule' / The Category, namely that editions of this Take This Thing Back
to Baltimore (f) / (b) / (s) / Plan (c) / log hulk-smashed on a date that
falls on the 7th of the month is brought to you by music and / or movies that
begin with the letter 'g' because 7th letter of the alphabet, 'The
Friends of Eddie Coyle' will still get horroreviewed up on out on up on out up
here, seeing as it's a rental from Cin's new video store, and is due /
tomorrow.
Cin's
new DVD / video store is a comedown from the previousone, Invisible Cinema, a
store whose identity, like those of certain of his fellow-sufferers, can be
revealed, now that it / they ®IP'ed.
It's a name that cries / for cintax of course, and Cin has surely done
the store name that favor over the course so far and millions of pages and
pixels of this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore (f) / (b) / (s) / Plan
(c) / log, matter of fact as Slingblade would say it better, it already comes /
cin-taxed. It was a great business, and
worthy of a good free ! flog even after its demise. Cin e-mailed the place from its web-site,
offering money to try to keep it / afloat, as a competitor had done down the
road from Invisible Cinema several years ago, and successfully, but he has yet
/ to hear back.
New
place is decidely lower tech, though its selection appears to be just as
encyclopaedic (little help ? -id.), It's
one of the two or three last film rental businesses in town, along with its'
aforementioned, back-from-the dead competition around a few corners, 'you guys'
Cin said it better to that struggling store as it fought its way back, successfully,
from insolvency at first, 'are the reasons that I moved / down here', and it
was no word / of a lie, then or now.
Loss of video rental stores are not dissimilar to losses of libraries
and movie theatres, all should be designated historical sites and protected /
as such, before all towns turn into box-store and strip-mall / horrors. 'Banks', you said it better of New York City
these days, innit Cash just before you moved out from Hell's Kitchen - of the
establishments where Irish bars and strip clubs that mint their own money used
/ to dwell - 'just / banks', cinsolvency is all / we gots.
Great
script, 'I've always had an interest' the FBI agent says it better to Mitchum's
Eddie Coyle, as all the small-time crooks and feds try to ensnare each other in
each others' rackets, 'in / machine guns.'
Locale is Boston, innit perfesser, and the movie is a precedent to your
man Ben Affleck's recent films, the Dennis Lehane ones. Masshole and Southie accents are brutal,
though the drinking scenes are well done, 'how much drinking do you think
there'll be', Cin aksed the rest of the Ten Day fellow-sufferers the night better
before during and after leaving for your ®IP / fune®al last year, the week
after the Boston Marathon bombings and your own bombing, referring to your
likely grievers, 'between the Irish folks, the writers, and / the rugby
players?' Everone in Ten Day laughed
nervously at Cin's line, laughing nervously at Cin's lines is all / we gots.
He was
right, mind, everone drank white wine of all things all after at the Dorcester
Club in downtown Boston, not five minutes by foot from the site of the
bombing. It's a beautiful town even
under these gruesome cincumstances, even Edgar Allan Poe and Boston kissed and
made up as of late by the pounding of / my heart (don't quit / your day job,
whatever / that is -id.).
'One of
the first things I learned', Mitchum's Coyle says it better to a young 'un gun
dealer in the movie, 'is to never aks a man why he's in / a hurry', dyxlexia / is Cin's. Course these days all petty hoods is drug
dealers, but they must procure their weapons from the likes / of these guys,
the aforementioned young 'un arms dealer played the same role in Scorcese's -
from Paul Schrader's script - 'Taxi Driver', 'we got bazookas' he tells de
Niro's Travis Bickle in the hotel room in that movie, 'you want LSD,' he goes
on, sensing that his pitch to Bickle is fading, 'or / smack?' 'Will that' the voice actor playing Watson in
Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes audio book 'The Hound of The Baskervilles' from
Cin's adolescence akses it better of his famous mentor, 'or cocaine'? Cin swears it was a line - they listened to
those audio books until they broke, that one and the one about the 'venerable
goat', innit MC, 'of Mendes' - despite his Take This Thing Back to Baltimore
me-moirs and (s) / (f) / (b) / Plan (c) / log memory not being what it used to
be, what with all the cincussions and booze and heroine, and cocaine and LSD,
and smack, and we weren’t that bright, innit DD, to begin with.
'What
gives?' you might well aks, dear reader, dyslxeia ('get it?' Brad Pitt's
Detective Somerset akses it better cute of his wife, played by Gwyneth Paltrow
in David Fincher's immor(t)al Se7en , 'got it? good') is / Cin's. Isn't Cin 'assuposed to be at the Rugby Club
monthly meeting, taking as he does / notes?
Well, yes, that was the original plan, only the aforementioned meeting was advanced an hour, and Cin /
missed it. 'Good' was the line he
dropped upon arrival and was told of same by the five people still there - wtf else can you say ? - but it was a hassle,
he's down to one meeting a month these days, which is still one meeting / too
many, after his cinsigliere-suggested (had to -id., it means his lawyer) House
Arrest the Horroregime of four meetings a week for well over a year, and when
he misses that one meeting he goes all kind of coocoo / for coacoa puffs.
Haha he
lies / like a rug, he still gots two meetings a month with his cinsellor, and
as a result of missing that meeting this evening, dear readers - 'you people',
his cantankerous relative says it better when he's all kind of Just Another
Manic Monday - you get this extra-special Tuesday night edition of this Take
This Thing Back to Baltimore (f) / (s) / (b) / Plan (c) / log.
Course
he was of half of what's left of his mind - between the booze and the drugs and
(that's enough -id.) and we weren't that bright / to begin with, innit DD - to
go over to the Quebec side via the Quyon ferry, after he heard the news that he
had missed / the entirety of the meeting, which was over in its entirety in an
hour, 'a new' the choir practice chorus has it better, innit Mo, when the
singer shooting the boot doesn't shoot it fast / enough, 'world record'. Cinstead he waited around at their sponsor's
bar until everyone paid / their bills, made small talk, and then went straight
on Terrry Fox Drive cinstead of taking the left to get to the / Quyon Ferry to
take him back / to Luskvegas.
Meanwhile
back on Planet Hollywood, Eddie Coyle just bought it, compliments of the
bartender, played by Peter Boyle, who also played a seminal role playing the
senior, well, taxi driver, in that Scorcese movie of the same name - he knows,
he knows, you can hardly wait for the day of the month when this Take This
THing Back to Baltimore me-moirs and film reviews is brought to you by the
letter 'T' or 'D' - Cin can't be too anal when it comes to the new 'we're going
to -make' - WHat WOuld Jack Say - 'a new rule' / the category, either letter
works, he's entirely un-plugged the cord as they say from cable TV since he
moved up on out on up on out of Luskvegas, and is somewhat successfully staying
away from Netflix and its $500 monthly wireless usage bills as well, though
Bell.ca isn't helping much with its encycloepadic (little help ? -id.) on-line /
offerings - and trying to mentor young Bob deNiro's Travis Bickle.
Course
deNiro later honored Mitchum when he reprised Mitchum's role in Scorcese's re-boot
of Cape Fear, and succeeded brilliantly, both versions true horror
movies within the pages of and pages of quasi horrors (and the real / thing -id.)
to be found in the pixels and pages of this Take This Thing Back to
Baltimore me-moirs and horroreviews.
Director Peter Yates now gushes about Mitchum's Southie accent in the
Commentary version of the film - it's a keeper, and worth videeing with the
Director's commentary, 'I prefer to work with theatre actors' the British Yates
says it better, 'they don't want to be driven around / in Rolls Royces', where
Robert Mitchum fits into this philosophy is hard / to tell - and Cin will have
to start horroretail-therapying DVDs from Amazon or whatnot for his permanent /
collection - though it's an awkward accent at best, who wants to talk about
Hah-vahd Yahd, innit Mo, with make-belive marbles / in they mouth, only your
man from Dorcester ever gets it / right, innit perfesser, and that's because
he's from / Dorcester, though Casey Affleck came close enough, and Ed Harris
tried his best in 'Gone Baby Gone', 'where I come from' Harris' corrupt cop
says it better in that movie to Affleck's quasi-good-guy protagonist -
reflecting the general horror received too by Cin's Irish Catholic guilt-ridden
relatives upon coming across the spilt guts of this Take This Thing Back to
Baltimore flog - 'we take our secrets to / the grave.'
'George
Higgins' writing' the director Yates says it better, 'is fantastic', and he's
right. What it is is that Mitchum's
Coyle is looking to get out / the gun-running game, and in order to do so has
to make all kind of mad moves on the street.
Before - spoiler alert after / the fact - buying it, Coyle comes close
to fulfilling his dream, though he's sort of doomed from the start, the Man
will catch you out, son, before 'the walls' John Mellencamp sang it better,
'come tumbling / down', and Out Come / the Cuffs, and worse as is the case in
this film, though cinarguably Out Come / the Cuffs is worse for some, 'I found
out' Shane McGowan of the Pogues creaks it better in their version of 'Waltzing
Mathilda' after the narrator of the song comes home limbless or at least mangled,
'there are things worse / than dying.'
Thanks
for reading this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore me-moirs and (f) /
(s) / (b) / Plan (c) / log and reviews.
