cold feet?

does anyone remember the movie "cold feet" ? i do but vaguely ..... just remember him and the cast as a very funny group of bungling thieves... i think the "loot" was hidden in the belly of a live horse.... anyone ever see it??

C&C

I always wondered whether Tom Waits and Iggy Pop would actually get along so UN-famously in real life. That segment of Coffee & Cigarettes is one of the most interesting, at least for fans of both men and their oeuvres, because it seems like it could happen like that, that they'd end up not really getting along, despite all their seeming similarities ... but, seriously. Who wouldn't be crushed if they met and hated each other? A little piece of my dirty soul would die.

P.S. I voted for Dr. Heller. Mystery Men: the most underrated comedy of the '90s?
