"This is a movie you are likely to hate, unless you love it for its crazy, feverish charm..."
--Roger Ebert
Don't Box Me In--the main theme from Rumblefish--has been knocking around in my head for decades.
It's the lyric about the goldfish.
In a jar. At the end of the bar.
The song clip above captures some of the flick's premium teen gang moments. Matt Dillon, Nic Cage, Dennis Hopper, Larry Fishburne and Mickey Rourke as "Motorcycle Boy."
Francis Ford Coppola. Say no more.
It was an angst film. It was an art film.
It seems to be nowhere on streaming services, tho it was on U.S. Netflix.
Copeland's percussive soundtrack, and his ear-worm song stalk the decades.
Every kid has been that goldfish.
Every old kid knows about the chilly moment bartender Tom Waits voices. "I've got 35 summers left. Just 35 summers."
What day did you start the count?
Many clips on YouTube. The fight scene is here...
And the goldfish lyric is below...
