Scott Feinberg: Now another big influence on you was one of the great classic crime-doesn’t-pay movies, 1931’s The Public Enemy, right? David Chase: They used to have a thing in the New York metropolitan area called Million Dollar Movie, and they played the same movie for five days, right in a row, at 8 o’clock. And if you were interested in film, which I didn’t realize I was, it was great, because you could watch the same movie, and if you’d miss something, you could go back and you could study it, in a way. It was fantastic. And I saw that movie there. I was probably 8 or 9.

Ugh, I have so many Things scheduled this week. I don't know if this has come across, but I do a lot of dicking around work in my studio on my own, and am largely left to my own devices, with my days largely unscheduled other than, say, "throw mugs" or "work on glazing". But this week, I have at least one Scheduled Thing every day. Every day! Including Saturday! I had to lay on the rug for an hour after the Thing today. What the fuck. I mean three days in a row, it's lunch with people I like, so no real hardships, but I am trying to get back in the habit of using my calendar, so it's more noticeable.

Anyway, apparently I'm not done watching pre-code Hollywood films.

The Public Enemy (1931)

Just to be clear, we are not glorifying crime or criminals. Yes, it's an exciting, roughly true-ish story about gangsters, but...but this one is just trying to give a real impression of what life is like for some people, not just some cheap titillation for people that are somehow entertained by that sort of terrible and wrong thing. Just so we're clear.

Lol, I keep reading the subtitle on impulse, and they...are in Spanish.
