Martin?  Hot?  Really?

Haven't we talked about this before? I totally have a Steve Martin thing.

Dude is funny, but he's also HELL OF SMART, I love that. And that shock of sexy white hair, holy crap. And he has probably one of the ten best smiles in the history of film. Definitely top fifteen, no question.

Navin R. Johnson? Sounds like a typical bastard.

It's like Lost in Translation meets The Sting.

I'd pick The Spanish Prisoner rather than The Sting, for reasons that should be obvious.

Not if you haven't seen The Spanish Prisoner.

August, that needs to be corrected immediately.

I'll watch Lost in Translation if you watch The Spanish Prisoner. Deal?

The Spanish Prisoner is quality watchings.

I'm a little surprised the $-themed film festival I went to a few years back didn't show The Sting. But they did show both Italian Jobs back-to-back and The Million Pound Note so I suppose it all works out.

Did they show the original Thomas Crown Affair? That's a solid film, and it has the master of cool (he once got arrested in my hometown!).

Sadly, they are filming a sequel to the remake.

Maybe, I don't recall. They did have this film where the actual bank break-in was shot in real-time. It takes like 26 minutes and there's no dialog during. Supposedly the movie was banned in France for years because they considered it a how-to on bank robbing.

I conflated the bank robbery with France and fondly remembered Killing Zoe.

I think JL's dream sounds kind of like Intolerable Cruelty.

Also I can't picture Steve Martin being suave and dangerous, the closest I can get to is him in LA story kind of self-consciously putting on an act of being sauve and dangerous. Which I'd still like.

He's suave and dangerous in the Jerk, just not at the same time.

I liked the book, but didn't see the movie because my friend (who gave me the book) said the movie a really terrible adaptation.
