Yeah I know Buffalo '66 is strange (some might say pretentious) but still
I like it. I just felt really sorry for the guy, he obviously felt
REALLY bad. And he threatens his hostage that he will never talk to her again
if she doesn't do what he says. I think that must be the greatest threat ever
from a kidnapper.

Finally, a little quote from one of
my favorite movies: (yes, I'm under 20 :)
Scott: Why don't you just shoot him?
Dr. Evil: I have an even better idea. I'm gonna place
him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly
elaborate and exotic death!!"
(Yes, I know this hasn't got anything to do with
anything, but I love this quote)
