Why can't I live in a world where I see this at bus stops instead of movie posters with the star's head cast in a warm and cool light?Robert Goodinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578493704682972069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087336294557920557.post-39436016546905540512009-03-03T11:15:00.000-05:002009-03-03T11:15:00.000-05:00CRITERION IS THE BEST !!!

You absolutely should pick up some Imamura, you won't be disappointed--Vengeance is Mine might still be my favorite of his films, but Intentions of Murder (included in this forthcoming box) is possibly an even better film...<BR/><BR/>Mark--<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that link! Cool font!
