Seeing Public Enemies, with all its shots of familiar El-covered intersections and buildings, reminded me of this antique store find my mom and I made years ago, a book chronicling "the Chicago that's not in the guidebooks." I love the chapter headings, like "The People's Friends: Politicians are the same the world over, except in Chicago, where they're worse." Although it can get tiresome for people to know your city as a criminal haven, it is kinda cool to have lived close to the Biograph, where Dillinger was caught (whether he was with a woman in a red dress or not).

So? Is the movie as good as it looks? I can't imagine a bad Johnny Depp film. Sigh.
That is all kinds of awesome.
How was the movie?
The movie is good. It's not perfect. But as usual Johnny manages to carry the entire movie away with him on his charismatic shoulders.
Sigh. Oh, for the love of the Depp.
Cool book cover.
Also, yes those were leggings on Clover! I reeeeeally want a DSLR, I just don't know if it's in the budget yet, but we'll see.
