On Walter's recommendation I'll go see it. We have, it seems, very 
similar tastes in movies.

One of things that attracts me to this movie is that it's a period piece 
on LA. As a city, I've never liked LA. Perhaps it was a combination of 
New Yorker prejudice that many NYers harbor about LA or it was lack of 
seriously good pizza. I certainly didn't like it when I lived there. I'm 
not sure. But LA has such a fascinating history that almost all the 
movies I've seen that are done seriously that involve historical events 
or periods have been excellent. The two movies I'm thinking of were 
Chinatown and LA Confidential.

Also, the fact that Clint Eastwood directs it makes this movie even more 
attractive.
