The bit that you skip #208: The Postal Service – Against all odds (Take a look at me now)
It’s no secret that Against All Odds is a perfect example of an 80s remake. Similar to Scarface, it takes Out of the Past, a classic noir film, and gives it a slick, neon and polyester do over. I like the movie but it’s barely mentioned now. What transcended was the Phil Collins hit single, which supposedly helped the movie on the box office by a few millions.
Understandable, since Phil Collins was a hit making machine in the 80s, and the track, as mushy as it is, is perfect. The video, directed by Taylor Hackford (Devil’s Advocate, Ray, An Officer and A Gentleman), intercuts his own film with Phil Collins in a neon lit dark studio. It’s strangely timeless, even if its feels like a Trapper Keeper-friendly fever dream. My fave Phil Collins track too.
When Wicker Park was released in 2004, it didn’t make much of impact. Sure, we got Rose Byrne and the always reliable Matthew Lillard doing great work, but it wasn’t the hit MGM wanted. I blame it on the trailer, really, it did a poor job selling the flick. Oddly enough, it’s a remake too, in this case of a French hit called L’Appartament.
Oddly enough, I also liked Wicker Park, but L’Appartament is a much superior film. Especially with Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel doing their best.
Where Wicker Park truly shines is with its soundtrack. A veritable who’s who of 2004 pop royalty. Mogwai, Aqualung, Mazzy Star, Death Cab for Cutie, Broken Social Scene and many more. The soundtrack wasn’t enough to give the flick a push on the box office, though.
The Postal Service gives an indie-doomed (!) coat of painting to Against all odds. The mournful piano is now replaced by droning synth swells and Ben Gibbard’s distorted vocals. It’s a perfect recreation of Collins’ beautiful heartbreaking intro. The oddly syncopated drumming fits perfect with the urgency of the track, which goes for the right amount of kitchen sink drama stylings.
It’d be interesting to do a movie night with Out of the past, Against all odds, L’Appartament, and Wicker Park. I think I have an obsession with remakes, and how the same tale can be retold many times, sometimes reflecting the ups and downs of the decade it was made on. I know some films are timeless, others aren’t. And that’s all right.

Here's a comparison to the #transit coverage in #Chicago from the #WickerPark neighborhood. DC overlay approximately to scale, but I couldn't find a real tool to compare, so it's based off of an approximated 10mi equivalence.
(I also tried to pick an example that is similarly "in town" but not right in the middle.)
Chicago has ~4x as many people, so it's not a fair comparison, but I think it's a demonstration of what could be.

@punkcoder They are really awesome candles - here are the rest:
Some good ones:
"Roscoe Village: Smells like Double Wide Strollers and Lululemon"
"Wicker Park: I'd name the smell but you probably have never heard of it"
"Bucktown: Smells like Flannel and Gentrification"
"Lincoln Square: Smells like your Bumble date saged her apartment for this"

“I think that there is some kind of utopian ideal that maybe individuals in Wicker Park want to believe, that we are all supportive of the queer community and it’s a safe haven and stuff like that,” Glombicki said. “[yet…] there are these pockets of people who are damaging property, stealing things, slandering, spitting, and this is a lived experience for many queer people.” #Chicago #WickerPark #Bucktown

I'm not sure I'd describe the #WickerPark of 2010 as "affluent, trendy," though by that time gentrification was way beyond the tipping point.
Anyway, Eliza Bleu has #Chicago connections.

Eliza Bleu’s Own Friends Aren’t Buying Her Trafficking Story

As a #Walgreens aficianado, I was never fond of this one. The building itself is grand, and I'm old enough to remember when it was a bank. A better use would have been a performance space, or maybe a mini-mall of some sort ... as a Walgreens, it never quite fit, especially given that there is a great one a few blocks away across near the late, great #BeachwoodInn.
