I never paid much mind to Ordinary World by Duran Duran. I had heard it a hundred times or so. It was a fairly popular song in its day. And despite being a Duran Duran fan, I really didn't care all that much about that song.
It wasn't until I saw Layer Cake and heard Ordinary World set to a vicious beating scene that I really found the beauty. The song is about or sounds like loss. And then the character, Morty, exacts a brutal and accidental revenge for the loss of ten years behind bars. It all takes place in an ordinary diner and finishes with a nice cup (pot) of tea. Brilliant.

Scuff Marks
I intend to showcase favorite movie scenes from now on. Here's my first go at it.
With No Country For Old Men on my mind, I had to include the "scuff mark" scene. The scene starts at 50 seconds but feel free to watch the whole, beautiful clip.
Scary, yes, but really hits a few senses. I really get claustrophobic when I here those boots scuff uselessly against the floor. The big, black scuffs that are drawn illustrate a good fight, but not toward stopping the strangling. And the hollow, click-clap of the boots against that tile floor was haunting. Nothing was going to save that cop.
This movie has a thousand amazing scenes. I should just embed the whole thing.
