Imagine how amazing the group were live? ah sighhhhh.

I mean where i could get a copy digitally. a quick bit of band history
Penny & The Quarters are a "lost" soul band which came to prominence in 2010 after an unreleased demo of their song "You And Me" was used in the film Blue Valentine.
Presumably teenagers at the time, Penny & The Quarters were invited to audition by Harmonic Sounds Studio in Columbus, Ohio, recording three demo songs in all. The group consisted of Jay Robinson, the lead male vocalist and songwriter, and a female lead with three or four male backup singers and an accompanying guitarist.
The songs were recorded some time between 1970 and 1975 at either Harmonic Sounds Studio or at the home of studio co-owner Clem Price in Columbus. Relegated to storage, the songs were discovered after Price's death in 2006 when a collection of tapes and acetate records was purchased at his estate sale. They were subsequently given to an archival record company, The Numero Group, after a Columbus, Ohio musicologist came into possession of the recordings. -

I like it when you come out of films and want to just be in that train of thought, swimming in the images and language you just saw, no need for speech.It's from Bladerunner..

Buffalo 66 is good, if you like it check out Badlands by Terrence Malick. One of my favourite films.
-
Seen it. Got any other films about** stockholm syndrome**? Bonnie and Clyde? That's a good theme I think
Dog Day Afternoon.

+1. Brilliant.

I watched The Italian Job weekend before last.. Always a favourite movie of mine and I've lost count of the times I've seen it.. As a kid it was always one of those treat/adventure movies knowing all the one liners and loving the Mini action (I felt the same way about the Guns Of Navarone).
This time I actually watched it. It is a very, very elegant film. The first half lighting and shot set up is just beautiful.. And of course the acting is phenomenal.

I have no idea why some people think Buffalo 66 is a good film. Which as a sentence sort of looks laughable enough on the internet to just forget it, but the other option is to be pompous about it. But to menion Badlands along with it?
Buffalo 66 is pretentious, self-indulgent drivel, made by an emotionally immature and slightly deranged narcissist. Badlands is a rich film which interrogated a cliche and achieved a complex, entrancing beauty. Its only flaw in hindsight was that its presentation of the myth of cool was so cool that it's been copied endlessly by people wanting to be cool who haven't got enough ideas of their own. Buffalo 66 just regurgitates the well-established cliches of cool in order to try to be edgy and indie. It's a shallow, superficial movie. Beyond the bare bones of the outlaw-and-his-squeeze element, I can't see what the two have in common.
There's not point to this post, of course. If anyone's got rights to anything at all it's their right to like things other people don't like..

Fair points Phil, I agree with what you're saying about Buffalo 66 completely but you have to accept it as what it is, I think those things are taken at face value and exploited purposely! I mentioned Badlands because it is a WAY BETTER example of this insight into societal madness. It's always going to be in my top ten I think.
Anyway, anyone in the midlands please come to my cycle thru cinema event on Wednesday! The dreaded FB link....At The Ride In

I might have taken them to be the same if I hadn't ended up at a pre-release screening and a bewildering Q&A with Gallo afterwards. He'd made a big noise in the press about how his film was a masterpiece and a work of genius in the weeks before and I'd taken that to be tongue-in-cheek promotion. But the Q&A revealed the true extent of his self-delusion. He wasn't well-known and had a sympathetic non-press crowd in front of him. He could have shared the joke if there was one to be had. But there was no self-deprecation, just bitter self-aggrandisement. Instead of being cool he drank up the fawning of the sycophants who had turned up to see Gallo the Calvin Klein model and actor (he had no record as a filmmaker, just a niche indie status) yet the one time someone mildly suggested the film wasn't the flawless masterpiece he seemed to think it was Gallo literally screamed her out of the auditorium. There was so much that he thought he was a genius for thinking of including, when they were the very things film students had been including in their first indie-wannabe jerk-off shorts for the previous five and more years.. the split screen sequences, the cutesy dance number out of nowhere, the bullet pausing mid-exitwound so we could all have a look round the room... these were all things he thought were remarkable and couldn't see how they might be considered trite. Even the scene round the family table is one that had been done several times before.None of which would matter if his schtick had been, 'hey guys, this is my first film, I was very much finding my feet and having fun with a few ambitious but well-known technical tricks.. and I wanted to look cool in a movie.. who doesn't..??!?' but that wasn't where his mind was at. You've got to have distance from your subjects in order to exploit them, surely? There's no point making an indie art-house film by numbers, your audience is hip to the elements by default.
sorry, I know that was boring and long-winded for anyone who just wants to post up a film recommendation..
