No luck. So went out of my way (ON a Sunday) no less to a little old fashioned hardware store in a near by community. It was open, they had what we needed and as usual the owner was pleasant and courteous. I love the small time old time ways most of the time.

It was produced in 1996 and written and directed by Lars von Trier. It is not easy to watch. It is long. It is without doubt one of the most powerful films I have seen in years. It should be required in any class on film or screen writing.

I was thinking of cold things. Like this movie Cold Comfort Farm..."I saw something nasty in the woodshed" or "It will be a cold day in hell," "cold as a witches tit," icey cold coca cola, you break my cold cold heart.
