    I used to think Mamet was more effective on the stage, especially with his rep group who could really get the rhythm of his lines singing and dancing in live performance.

    But Mamet has done OK as a director. Games is my favorite, followed by the Winslow Boy and Homicide.

    He's a pretty damned good script doctor too.

    • Winslow was a bit dry for me . . . poor Pidgeon just didn't fit in, IMO. * - mr grits 20:58:01 09/30/06 (1)

        ...but I was so immersed in Jeremy Northram I thought she was just fine.

        Pigeon was a graduate of RADA BTW.

• Perhaps Mamet could have made a superior Black Dahlia - dave c 14:15:16 09/29/06 (2)

  Although the thought of Mamet and Ellroy getting together for script re-writes is a little frightening.

    ..I can't see him using Josh Hartnett for the lead for one thing.

      ... I do like the thought of him and Ellroy kicking a script around... or to death.
      Ellroy talks like a Grougho Marks character and I think the trade off might produce something electric even if Ellroy thinks film a second rate medium (at least as far as his books are concerned).
