Mindless Ramblings of The Cool Ones

I think you'd scare people away walking around with a Tommy Gun in hand. haha I forgot about that Hoodlum movie lol

Honestly, my face does that enough on it's own. But a Tommy Gun would certainly increase the effect by 300 points.

My first exposure to Gangster films were with my dad who would force me to watch Spaghetti westerns, and old black and white war and gangster movies. The war movies were the only ones that I liked until I caught the first Godfather by which time I was a pre-teen and could better appreciate what 'dad' was trying to put me on to. So while I'm in the more modern cinema camp for gangster films, I have a wide collection of good films from Godfather series to Road to Perdition and a whole lot in between and beyond.

I used to avoid westerns beyond all reason. Then one day I sat down and watched one... I felt like such a tool. All these years I'd been thinking they were boring old flicks filmed in dust bowl towns... Within a mere hour and a half I understood how guys like Charlton Heston and Clint Eastwood became so prominent in those genres. How shows like Bonanza could be such a big deal. Never again would I look away from a man wearing a stetson carrying a six shooter... Never... again. o _O
