In memory of Alan Arkin, lets catch up on the rest of the cast of Glengarry Glen Ross...

Alan Arkin will be much missed; a legend of stage and screen since the early 1960s. He kept working right up until the end.

Jack Lemon was far more than that other guy in drag who gets abducted by an elderly homosexual at the end of Some Like it Hot. He was in the Odd Couple too.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In His Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

The fricks Ed Harris does not give could fill oceans. Seen here in the criminally underrated George Romero film Knightriders.

Jonathan Pryce is a Bong actor. He is also not Vietnamese which is why he wasn't allowed to play a Vietnamese character when Miss Saigon moved from London's West End to Broadway. He was also in Brazil (seen above) which is basically the anti-consumer take on 1984 made by Terry Gilliam- well worth looking at.

Well I suppose things had to go wrong for someone. I mean, it's not like someone else could have turned out worse...

Brazil's theme song is so incongruent with the rest of the movie's theme, but I love it so much.

I think it's because Terry Gilliam wanted to use the cha-cha-cha bit for the scene near the beginning where they introduce the office. It plays again everytime you see the mindless paperwork, red tape and bureaucracy of the state in action:

I agree, I think the incongruity is a metaphor to how incongruous the system is to the human spirit. Idk though, i just really like the song

I think Giliam just really liked the song too and that's why he named the movie after it.
