nobody thinks those '90s Guided by Voices albums would be better if they didn't sound like they were recorded on a beat-up four track.

the coolest part is when a tape just disintegrates completely and starts making spooky ghost noises. my copy of Fables of the Reconstruction by R.E.M. did this real well.

On the one hand this sounds really exciting, but on the other I don't want to have Villeneuve forever hired to do sci-fi book adaptations and sequels.

that's the sense I'm getting and I really hope not.

Villeneuve is a really good fit for Dune though, I'm getting franchise fatigue as much as anybody (I still can't get at all hyped for Villeneuve's Blade Runner), but I can't help but be a little psyched for this. Give Refn the sequel.

Belly's biggest problem is that the gangster lifestyle is shown as so incredibly sexy and alluring that it's difficult to make leaving it all behind look attractive. The plot and the visual storytelling start diverging so hard near the end that the movie starts unraveling. That's not as big of a knock as it seems like, though, because the confusion sort of mirrors the internal struggles of the protagonists. I don't think it really wraps up as cleanly as it could have, but it's a hell of a ride right up until the final seconds. Just so watchable.

I got the feeling that some things were missing from the resolution, but did something happen that prevented Hype Williams from really finishing it?

It's not my favorite Refn but it's definitely good. Pretty much demands you get stoned before watching it more than any of his other movies.

What's your fav Refn? Only God Forgives continues to reign supreme in mine, but Bronson, Pusher, and Neon certainly make for a extremely close ranking. He's so loving good.

I gotta be honest and say it's still Drive with the Pusher trilogy as a close second. I haven't disliked any of his movies, but Drive just has the best screenplay of any of his by far.

INT. Safehouse - Night.

The safehouse is located in a rundown tenement. A haze of cigarette smoke and dust fills the air. The apartment is cluttered and dark safe for a single bare bulb and the flickering neon light outside the window. Four men are gathered around a wobbly and worn table that is covered in blueprints, photographs and messily scrawled notes. HOWARD HOLT mid 30s and ruggedly handsome carefully examines a street map and draws circles and arrows in appropriate places.

Holt
Here's how it's going down.

He takes a long drag on a cigarillo.

Holt
Gibbs, at 14:00 you make a call to the cops from the payphone on 42nd street. You tell them someone is holding up an armored car on Broadway but don't tell them which one.

TOMMY GIBBS, a black man in his early 20s with the mannerisms and clothes of an aristocrat, nods his head.

Holt
Plogojowitz, you need to get the guns and meet us in the parking lot on Fulton Street at 14:30.

PETER PLOGOJOWITZ, a bloated man with ruddy skin, watery eyes, and a huge cigar in his mouth, gives a thumbs up.

Holt
Old Bill, you pick pick up our safecracker, Vatican Greg from his place and meet the rest of us in the parking lot.

OLD BILL, a ragged old man with an eyepatch and a face that is more scar than tissue, smiles with his few remaining teeth.

Peter
What sort of name is Vatican Greg?

Holt
A nickname.

Old Bill
Why "Vatican Greg" though?

Holt
I don't know, why did they call Capone "Scarface"?

Gibbs
Because he had a scar on his face.

Peter
I doubt Greg has a Vatican on his face.

Old Bill
I heard he once shot a prophylactic machine seven times in a fit of rage so they called him Vatican Greg on account of the Papists being known to dislike rubbers.

Gibbs
I heard he once raided the city hall in Dayton, Ohio and tried to make it it's own city state. I assume he had some sort of theocratic angle going since he ain't Luxembourg Greg or San Marino Greg.

Old Bill
Already is a Luxembourg Greg, he's a loanshark up in Corprus Chri-.

The doors BURST open. VATICAN GREG stumbles in wearing full papal regalia swinging a lit censer around like a flail.

Vatican Greg
Ave Maria, gratia plena. Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus!

Holt (whispering)
That's Vatican Greg
