September 30, 1955

Is it just me, or does that kid look like Tom Cruise? Anyway, I saved this during my James Dean phase, so around the first week of March. I recorded a biography of James Dean and the above film was mentioned. IMDB says "when Jimmy's idol, James Dean, dies on September 30, 1955, the small-town Arkansas college undergraduate goes berserk...". So far, I find this film awesome for two reasons: 1) James Dean 2) Arkansas. IMDB also says it "would not recommend this film", so I'm totes def gonna watch it. If I can find it. That's something that's really been bugging me lately; no one sells any well films anymore.

Yes; well.

But apparently there's four trillion other movie stores here that I've never heard of. Also a heckuva lot more stores in general I've never heard of. Take the bike shop, for example. We were having Brown Girls Picnic at Wilson Park, but Karina asked us to stop by this bike shop to check out a bike. I made eye contact with an underweight man/woman in a black wifebeater who was smoking a cigarette and I pretty much wanted to barf on its face. Besides that, the place is kinda cute. It's behind the Tea Shop and this nice old man was helping us out. Old as in forty. But it smelled like liquor and tires, so I'm really not in a rush to go back.

Moral of the story: I need to find this film, James Dean films, and James Dean posters. Like the one Becky Cox has.

HEH
