What Swanky Things are you Watching?

We saw Branded to Kill last night and I loved it. 1967 Japanese Noir Gangster (Yakuza?) film depicting the dangers of women and drink to a hired Killer who wants to be "Number One." Awsome Art direction, with beautiful and distrubing elements - loved the whole butterfly collection - bird corpse thing. Great to see after seeing Point Blank which was made Stateside in the same year. I think Jim Jarmusch borrowed some from this film to make Ghost Dog.

In any case I loved the film even if Not Afraid didn't jump me when I came home tonight wrapped only in a Fur she had picked up by spending the entirety of my last paycheck while rice steamed in the kitchen - Mmmmm.

Very Swanky
