Spade Cooley - Swingin' The Devil's Dream (@320)












It was today that I read the nominations for this year's Golden Raspberry Awards and noticed that Jessica Alba is nominated for four (!) films; The Killer Inside Me, Little Fockers, Machete and Valentine's Day . Well done Jessica, wish you go for more next year.
Jessica's success, made me remember The Killer Inside Me, the only of the four movies that I've watched. An interesting, yet very disturbing film with an even bigger disturbing parallelism. Spade Cooley, whose music is heard in the film, murdered his wife, just like Casey Affleck did with Alba in the film. Cooley's music though, remains an essential chapter in country music, thus gaining him the title of the King of Western Swing.

    Winderbottom at his very best, though extremely disturbing, almost vomited at the scene...
