RE: (TV) (OT)Carradine/Seattle Pictures Snafu

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Gregg, 

Glad you liked it, and I admit Alan Rudolph is an aquired taste.  

When I first saw his film, "Choose Me",  in 84-85[?]  I had recently seen a number of Verlaine's tours (band consisting of Fred, Ripp, and J.D. and Daugherty ), and was bowled over by the stricking resemblence between Keith Carradine and Verlaine circa late 70s-early 80s----especially the scenes when Carradine is sitting drinking at the bar.  (It's something about Keith's /Tom's mouths or smiles and cheek bones.[?])   Verlaine claims to be of Latvian and Lithuanian ancestry, not Russian.)

ps: To Mary Duchamp or computer/software mavens:  When I click on your Seatlle Cconcert pictures' site :   http://www.maury.net/tvpics/tvpics.htm all I get is  "This page can not be displayed"

Leo,

I watched 'Choose Me' last night and I'm glad I did. It's taken this long, I
suppose, to get past the dated 1984 fashions (which annoyed me when I saw
the film in 1988) and some of the opening dialogue seemed stiff. It's a very
well made, original film (although Keith never has to stretch from his
'Nashville' stud archetype) with a solid structure and a nice payoff
(resolution). I would even go as far as to say that Hal Hartley was
influenced by this movie. Maybe I'll rent 'Mrs. Parker' in 2024.

Sorry for the OT.

Gregg
