A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Miss T, I'm assuming that "Shaft" was a nod to Skip Pitts's titanic performance at the Pondo Stomp a week ago, broadcast live by His Spazzitude. If not intentionally so, it still works.

Yes Depp is his usual great self but my problem with PE, aside from the unsteady cam, was the soundtrack. Sure there's Billie and that's fine but what's with that modernized electric guitar folkie thing going on in a film showing life in the '30's(not to mention Krall's updated 'Blackbird')? Threw me off somewhat.

My own opin is that "Public Es" was very good for what it was -- a whoelly conventional, big-budget, big-studio Hollywood ganster movie, breaking zero new ground and offering zero variants or upgrades on the genre's standards. I like strange movies, thank you.
Annie, Google-news "New Jersey" and all of the first hits will be about the arrests.

From:

55mm, i agree with you!! i thought the song just didn't fit at that speed. just an excuse to get them slowdancing.. and tag it at the end.. pitiful.. and if i recall, i really don't know this for a fact, but wasn't billie holiday kind-of kept out of the mainstream? like radio?

I suspect that the Krall track and similar tracks were put in simply because they're popular. For every person who says "Diane Krall? Isn't that kind of an anachronism?", there are four or five (or more) who say "Ooh, Diane Krall, I LUVVVV Diane Krall, she's SO-O-O beautiful!" and like that. These guys are running a business, after all.

Whatever else you say about her, Diana Krall has good taste in husbands.
