In Lieu of Listening in Class...A List


this installment finds me in Employment Law class, discussing the merits of a sexual harassment case that strangely makes me think of gangster films. Maybe its the abuse of women or maybe its the supremacy of the Boss in the workplace. anyway, here is a list of what i think are the best films ever in the gagster genre, in no particular order. let me go on the record as saying that i think the true gangster film genre didnt begin until Hollywood discovered the Real Mafia in the 70's. Fuck 1950s Chicago gangster films, see? Feel free to add to.

Godfather I & II (not III)
Goodfellas
Miller's Crossing
Road to Perdition
Gangster No. 1
Once Upon a Time in America
Scarface
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
King of New York
Snatch
City of God
Heat
the Usual Suspects

Bullet Proof Judge: the Revenge of the W

Harriet was a wash. True, she had boobs, but that isnt enough to make us say "Hey, a girl! Come on in!" Besides, they didnt seem to be very NICE boobs. So W sits back in his saddle and says "Fuck with me, will ya? Okay, lets see you hippies whine about this one!" Well I being one of the liberal douchebags that W would likely call a tree-hugger (though i find bark rather un-cuddly) i must admit that this guy is a juggernaut. Ivy league, young appointment, Atty General's Office. If Jesus had retained this guy, Pilate would have overruled his OWN objections and we'd all be Buddhists. So why is it that i feel the whining is about to begin in spades? i find that a nicely aged gouda goes best with a winter whine, don't you?
