Anyone else notice that there seem to be a hell of a lot of successful bank robberies in the area of late? Any chance we’ve entered a new age of social banditry?

I can dream.

I finally saw Public Enemies, by the way. It was pretty much as I feared. There wasn’t even a pretense of historical accuracy, Johnny Depp was hopelessly miscast, and, worst of all, there was no mention of Dillinger’s, shall we say, most impressive endowment. That said, it was a Michael Mann flick, and he’s pretty competent hand when it comes to crime dramas, so it was fun to watch most of the time.

And Marion Cotillard absolutely nailed Billie Frechette. At least as I always pictured her in my schoolboy’s imagination.
