@HeerJeet Nope. The plot is from The Glass Key. They're not Tarantino. The Coen Bros can read.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet Coppola films based on family, Scorcese on neighborhood, Coen's about art they've consumed. One approach not inherently superior.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
