And watching it in the past year, I was impressed by how well it's aged given that it's such an of-the-moment flick. Well done.</p> Go is definitely my favorite thing you’ve done, John.

One of my all time indy favorites. I love the soap opera actors storyline. I thought they were straight until the liquor store scene. But when you watch it the second time it makes just as much sense and ads more tension to know that they are a couple. The switch/reveal was flawless. Makes sense both ways. Still have not scene a film do that better. 10 Anniversary DVD?</p> Great Film. One of my all time indy favorites. I love the soap opera actors storyline.

Loved it. Friend of mine was the gaffer. When I found out he worked on it I was kinda proud of him - felt warm and fuzzy that he'd lucked into such a cool film.</p> <p>Bot</p> This is a fantastic film. Loved it.

It's one of those rare screenplays that engages like a novel. I thought the director did a great job bringing it to the screen and watch it once or twice a year. I never tire of the Amway subplot, or the drug dealer (great performance) or the talking cat.</p> I taught myself screenplay format back in 1999/2000 using a draft of GO.

Olyphant is finally coming into his own, as is Polly and Mohr and Fichtner. I was quite surprised to see Jane Krakowski of Ally McBeal fame as the coquettish housewife. The painfully awkward scene between Fichter and Mohr in the bedroom still makes me chuckle when I think of the final reveal.</p> <p>...I caught my 1 year old holding the DVD case for Go and caught a picture of it to show to you, but there's no place to upload it. :)</p> I rewatched Go about two weeks ago and loved it.
