I just finished the book, and was very impressed. I've read many books about Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Ray Hamilton, etc., but this book put it all together. Somehow I hadn't digested the fact that all this happend within a couple of years. I'm seriously pumped to see the movie.

Last week I was in my hometown of Fort Worth, Texas and went by the Mulkey street house that Machine Gun Kelly stayed in for a while. Pretty cool.

Now where did I put that Tommy gun? lol

i reconized indiana in a few of those pics.

I am really keyed up to watch this movie. Unfortunately, it seems this one is not presented in Europe simultaneously with the US. :rage: So, until September, nothing...

Very atmospheric pics, BTW. It is good to see a Browning Automatic Rifle together with the stereotypical Tommy Guns (BARs were used in the well known Bonnie and Clyde ambush, for instance).

In one photo a hat with a pleated ribbon (instead of the prevalent bow-shaped style) is visible, which is an interesting detail, too.

One of you ladies HAS to swipe this pic and crop it for your Avatar! :eusa_clap

I don't know if this has come up before.........

Does anyone know, in this film, do they pronounce John's name correctly?
He actually pronounced his name Dilling -ER, not the Dillin - JER
that we've come to know.

I'm anxious to find out if this historical accuracy is held-up (no pun intended!) in the film.

From the Chicago Tribune Article:

–The Biograph Theater in Chicago is now a live theater called Victory Gardens Biograph Theater. Spokesman Jay Kelly said they hope to run 1934’s “Manhattan Melodrama” around the time “Public Enemies” opens. Dillinger was watching the film on July 22, 1934, at the Biograph before he walked out and FBI agents shot him to death.

I'm jealous.

Hesitant on getting excited about the "Public Enemies" movie... don't want to be excited and then end up disappointed.

So like Shilling-er on HBO's "Oz".

WOW... I had not seen any trailers untill now.

The BAWMHRS group we're part of are looking at a bunch of us going to see the film this week in vintage garb. Many in the group also have vintage cars and hopefully may get to have them parked out in front.

Wonder how many vintage clothes and vintage car enthusiasts around the country may do the same.

The NYT weighs in
http://movies.nytimes.com/2009/07/01/movies/01enemies.html?hpw

Mr. Depp looks good as Dillinger — few contemporary actors can wear a fedora as persuasively — but the performance sneaks up on you, inching into your system scene by scene. The same holds true of “Public Enemies,” which looks and plays like no other American gangster film I can think of and very much like a Michael Mann movie, with its emphasis on men at work, its darkly moody passages, eruptions of violence and pictorial beauty. Mr. Mann’s digital manipulations, in particular, which encompass almost pure abstraction and interludes of hyper-realism, is worthy of longer exegesis, one that explores how this still-unfamiliar format is changing the movies: it allows, among other things, filmmakers to capture the eerie brightness of nighttime as never before.

What's wrong with the caption to #10?

What's wrong with the caption to #10?

Those ain't .45 casings. Look like rifle casings.
