I also caught Domino recently, which I enjoyed, although I do wish that the director had allowed the audience to focus on some of those extraordinary images—in particular, those involving Keira Knightley—for more than three seconds at a time, and without any jump cuts, flare outs, or jittery camera moves. There's a great movie called Domino somewhere on Tony Scott's cutting room floor, and it occasionally appears onscreen, in moments that are like a mash-up of my own subconscious—with Keira Knightley, Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, Mena Suvari, and Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green occupying the frame simultaneously. Unless I'm very much mistaken, Tom Waits also shows up at one point, somewhere in the desert, looking very, very grizzled.
