Anyone else ever see Highway 61. Great move that flirts with all the dark questions we drift over in daily life. Underated classic. Satan is brilliant. The cast is edgy and poorly defined in some ways, but, you still feel like you're watching them, standing right there, constantly on the edge of their vision.
Great quotes for your entertainment:
Pokey Jones: I never left home, but I know every inch of this highway. I know it inside out. Ask me a question if you like: ask me anything.
Jackie Bangs: Do you wanna have sex with me?
Pokey: What?
Jackie: Do you wanna have sex?
Pokey: No, I'm fine, thank you.

Bingo Angry Woman: He must be cheating that's how.
Mr. Skin (A.K.A. Satan): Lady, you can't cheat at bingo. If you could, I would, but you can't. I won because I was lucky - lucky to wind up in a town full of losers!

Louise Watson: I'm going on tour this year until I get a record contract, then I'm going to make a video. Then they're going to make a video of us and we're going to be famous. Then Mommy's going to come back and live with us. And when I grow up I'm going to do solo projects and get married to someone famous but I'm not sure who exactly.
Mr. Skin (A.K.A. Satan): Who told you all this?
Louise Watson: My Daddy.
Mr. Skin a.k.a. Satan: You're Daddy's lying. None of this is going to happen. You know why? Because you're ugly. I'm sorry to say it, but you're an ugly little girl. Just ask anyone.
Louise Watson: My Daddy says that I'm pretty and when I grow up I'm going to be a beautiful lady.
Mr. Skin a.k.a. Satan: No. You're going to be an ugly lady. You'll probably be fat and work as a cashier and no one is going to want to marry you. You see, parents aren't allowed to tell the truth about certain things. Now don't cry. Don't be upset. I don't want to see you crying. You really want to be famous?
Louise Watson: Yes
Mr. Skin a.k.a. Satan: Well maybe I can help. Would you like that? I can make you pretty and all you have to do is sign your little name. Can you do that?
