Rat,   Just TVO'ed  "M" the other day. I think I may have seen it several years ago but not sure. Ever have that happen? I do that every once in awhile and often like the movie better the 2nd time around. In fact, I think "good movies" are often better the 2nd time around if you give them a few years. I doubt that was a unique thought. 

I'm curious about "Infamous"?  I absolutely agree about Toby Jones! Always enjoy his work. (Looks like he is keeping that extra weight)  I read " In Cold Blood" twice (years apart) and didn't care for that Phil Hoffman movie. He probably did a good portrayal of Capote but Capote is a boring person to me. The movie was boring,too.

Have you heard the story about how he (Capote) claimed credit for Harper Lee's "To kill a Mockingbird"?  

GL,   Doc

I think the movie is head and shoulders above Hoffman's Capote with Jones as Capote and a then relatively unknown Daniel Craig (in his last "before Bond" movie role) as the murderer Perry Smith.

Rat,    I've got to see "Infamous".  The way I remember it was that both movies came out a few weeks apart and of course Hoffmans' movie was lauded and the other disappeared. I had no idea D. Craig played Perry Smith. That peaks my interest. I thought the Perry Smith character was the best in the original movie. Dammit, can't remember the actors name.  R. Blake was good but... whatever.

D. Craig can carry a movie. I think the Bond movies are much more interesting with the more serious, realistic Bond. I hope they trend more to the Ian Fleming "Bond" and less to that cartoonish crap. I don't care for car chase, explosion, shoot 'um ups, to make a movie. I hadn't bothered with a "Bond" movie in 30 years until recently.  I don't blame Craig for doing them but wish they take advantage of him and make the movies closer to the original books. Not gonna happen but would like to see it. 
GL,   Doc
