SCREENING at the AERO in Santa Monica ROBERT CULP in person Feb 18th 2007, 19 January 2007

Author: lemans71 from Starachowice, Poland

One of the greatest films ever made......

"Nobody came. nobody cares. It's still not about anything."

As dark and brilliant as it gets.... ahead of it's time even BEFORE it was ahead of its time. Maybe we'll all catch up in another 20 years.

If Culp had "just let up" it might have made more money and got better reviews.... it might have lead to other directing jobs...... be he DIDN'T let up..... and we have this masterpiece to thank for it....

Cosby gives the performance of a lifetime, Culp does the same on both sides of the camera…

Watch the first few minutes and where Quentin got the opening of Jackie Brown.

I wish he'd had another chance directing….. but this film is so good…… so perfect…. It's almost fitting.....What more is there to say anyways..

If you want to see this film the way it was meant to be seen, on the big screen with amazing sound, Robert Culp in going to present it person at the AERO THEATER in Santa Monica, CA February 18th 2007 at 7:30pm with a Q&A talk afterwords……… it'll be a beautiful print of Hickey & Boggs and then a Q&A with Culp... which will be followed by Walter Hills 48 hours....
