For me, it's more of a common man theme of struggle and choices and survival...and some psychopath thrown in with "Peg's Leg" and the likes.<BR/><BR/>Interesting review regardless, and you could do worse than being compared to the Coens...though I think you got your own thing goin...and I do agree that with found locations like the mountain valley and flume you avoid creating anything most folks have ever seen before in presenting your narrative.<BR/><BR/>Cool spot on the moose too...lucky bastard...been trying to spot one since moving here...very cool...now if you could work her into a c-scape, then I'd be impressed.<BR/><BR/>JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
