My favorite scene from Bonnie and Clyde ('67), the special edition DVD of which is in stores today. Speaking of stupid, I'm guessing I'll probably hem and haw another year or two before I discover and then write down the name of the software-for-dumbasses that'll make it easy to capture and transport frame-captures from DVDs, instead of my current method.

My favorite Gene Hackman/Buck Barrow dumbass line: "You know what they say. It's the face powder that attracts a man, but it's the baking powder that keeps him at home."

I still need to catch up on this year's films like THERE WILL BE BLOOD and ONCE, but I love Bonnie and Clyde and haven't seen it in years. Maybe when I retire in a few years the wife and I can catch up on the old greats.

My favorite piece of software for capturing images is the "Print Screen" key. On my Mac I like "Apple-Shift-3" or "Apple-Shift-4" for selections.

Wow, I haven't seen B+C, but that's clearly another shot QT ripped off for Pulp Fiction.

Your laptop has a dvd player, right? Download some software like Screenprint32 and you should be able to capture whatever image is on your screen.

D.Z., sometimes you push it too hard. You're a joke.

You haven't seen one of the greatest American films of all time, DZ? Come on, man, turn off that anime!

Judging by the scanlines, he takes a picture of his TV.

One could play a SIX DEGREES OF DOBIE GILLIS game regarding BONNIE AND CLYDE: Beatty and Michael J. Pollard both had recurring roles in the early portion of the series' run and Tuesday Weld--material girl Thalia Menninger during the first season--was considered for the part of Bonnie.
