Forget Tarantino. This could be the perfect inspiration for Joseph Wambaugh's next novel or work of non-fiction.

Sadek made a $4,600 contribution to the Obama campaign.
Who should feel more slighted? The GOP, which missed out on a member of its natural constituency of people with more money than sense, or the Democrats, who can be bought so cheaply by a guy who laughs off crashing one of the world's rarest sports cars?
Or maybe he just believes in hope and change.

I just finished Wambaugh's new "Hollywood Moon." It's another good one in his trilogy about the Hollywood LAPD station.

There's a possibility that Wambaugh reads this blog, since wacky LA crime stories I've highlighted have shown up in his last two books, although more likely the influence runs in the opposite direction: I find certain local crime stories interesting because I've been influenced by Wambaugh for 35 years.

The amount of cash and training to get a lender's license is ridiculously low compared to what it takes to get a CFA license. Clearly they should be equally regulated, considering the amount of financial devastation they can do. And no I'm not advocating making the CFA easier, I'm advocating higher standards for the lending market.

This definitely sounds like an Elmore Leonard novel, too, I must say (Tarantino obviously is influenced by Leonard, based Jackie Brown on Leonard's Rum Punch). I can imagine Chilli Palmer of "Get Shorty" in this plot somewhere.

Why is this not labeled under the classic Steve category of "Adventures of Men with Gold Chains."

These peoples from the former lands of the Ottoman Empire come to our shores and immediately begin scamming.

Sailer, have you ever read Natural History of the Rich? Fun book. Not much on the race angle, but interesting Darwinian look at the overclass.

Steve, when you review the movie "Invictus" be sure to note if they mention that the New Zealand team (ironically, the "All Blacks") may have been poisoned two days before the final.

crazy stuff. i wondered where that guy came from. he seemed very young to have that much money. enough to produce a wide release film all on his own - enough money to not sweat it when eddie griffin crashed his enzo! that's big time money.

so what happened to the woman cast as the star in that movie? STUNNING woman, but she never got any more roles in films beyond the direct to video level. easily one of the best looking women ever cast, which is probably the problem.

Title "El American Dreamo"

Movie ends in car chase, W as getaway driver. Or just an accomplice in a W mask.

Dirty Dan should have collection of boxer shorts sewed from old American flags. Every hooker sex scene is pomo patriotic.

Open pre-title on pasty lachrymose babushka kissing dirt of Ellis Island, 1884... titles feature legless vets in b.g. dancing to Lee Greenwood.... then flash forward. Dirty Dan looks at wind-whipped Glory over the car lot and gets Big Idea. Our story begins....

Actor playing Dan should SHOUT EVERY LINE. No playing it cool ever. Trust me.

Getaway passengers survive slo-mo launch from high bridge (Hendrix solo under - Danny is queer for Jimmy, collects all his shit, it's his heart). Danny last seen absconding to more understanding country. Changes into redless undershorts?

Redline investors who are still solvent: send me develop money now, before I option this. Quentin, I'm going to kick your ass if you forget your Geritol even ONE f-ing day.

I liked the touch about the guy being treated for extreme panic attacks. Like, when you owe some real scary people a lot of money, and they remind you of your debts by blowing up your car in the middle of the night, or busting down your door and smacking you and your family around, that's the sort of thing that might give you panic attacks.
