Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Today's movie - Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore starring Ellen Burstyn and Kris Kristofferson, directed by Martin Scorsese (1974).

I liked it quite a bit - particularly the relationship between Alice and her son.

imdb / wikipedia / netflix / buy or watch on Amazon instant

The beginning was an homage to The Wizard of Oz.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is a 1974 American comedy-drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Robert Getchell. It stars Ellen Burstyn as a widow who travels with her preteen son across the Southwestern United States in search of a better life, along with Alfred Lutter as her son and Kris Kristofferson as a man they meet along the way.

The son kept reminding me of Sponge from Salute Your Shorts. 

IMPORTANT NOTE - Salute Your Shorts is available to watch on Amazon.

So when Harvey Keitel first shows up, I think that he's actually playing a nice character. A kind character. "This is a first," I say to myself.

But I was wrong. Not so nice! Typical.

Just as dangerous as the scorpion he wears around his neck.

I hope that this restaurant still exists so that I will be able to find it and eat at it. Stay tuned for the future instagram.

Jodie Foster!

She asked him if she could touch his beard and it was pretty awkward.
