Now watching Red Rock West (1993), nice little Western neo-noir, and it’s got the distinction of having three David Lynch stars from 1986-1990 in the same movie (Dennis Hopper from Blue Velvet, Lara Flynn Boyle from Twin Peaks, and Nic Cage from Wild at Heart) 📽️

Now watching Miller’s Crossing (1990), and whom do I see? Speaking of Lynch/Coen connections (JE Freeman in both Wild At Heart and MC). Also have Frank Collison in WAH and O Brother Where Art Thou?📽️
