Damn it. Met Kinky a few times in the 90s. He was funny & counter-cultural & smutty & easy to talk to. In latter days he became kinda Trump-y, which was difficult to see happen. But he will be remembered as a great songwriter & a fine pulp novelist. Damn it.

Bob Swaim's MASQUERADE..."carries suggestions of thrillers such as Purple Noon and Strangers on a Train. It has a sweet malice....What makes the movie seductive is its calm surface and conniving, film-noir subtext. It doesn’t tell you too much." -- Pauline Kael Good movie!
