You probably shouldn't tip your hand, Joe.
Please, anyone else, feel free to take this song. I hate it. I don't want it. You can have it. Let it live on forever in your heart and in your potential victory. It's legit one of the worst pop/rock songs I can think of.
Even Bruce's version?
No, you're right. I'm being extreme and hyperbolic for the sake of humor again. Bruce's version is solid. I just have a visceral hatred for the more famous version by whoever that was. Manfred Man? Is that right? Anyway, fuck that version. Bruce's version is good.

Taking Because the Night in round one is reaching. It's an amazing song. I love that tune. But round one? And I'm not even sure I've heard Atlantic City. If no one else has taken it and all my other picks are gone, I'll take that one for you, buddy.
I don't really like Bruce Springsteen so I'd just be going for the half dozen or so songs of his that I enjoy.
Yeah, that's pretty much my play here, too. But shhhhh! Don't tell anyone what my strategy is here.

Real talk: I really need to stop with my wild "mood swing" hyperbole posting. It's getting me into trouble. This is like the Zemeckis debacle all over again!

You know, it looks like Bruce never even released a studio version himself. Just the Patti Smith release. So it might not even be a legal pick.

Shows what I know.

Nevermind, I should have finished the paragraph.

The song was originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen during sessions for his Darkness on the Edge of Town album. He was not satisfied with the song and later declared he already knew he wasn't going to finish it since it was "a[nother] love song";[2] the Patti Smith Group was working on Easter in the studio next door, with engineer/producer Jimmy Iovine working on both albums. Iovine gave Smith a tape of the song, she recast it, [3] and it was included on Easter, becoming the first single released from that album.[4] Though it was never released on any of Springsteen's studio albums, in concert beginning with his Darkness Tour Springsteen would often perform the song with his own lyrics. The song was first performed live at a Patti Smith concert at CBGB's in New York City on December 30, 1977, with Springsteen joining on vocals and guitar.[5] The only two commercially released recordings of a Springsteen version of the song were in the 1986 box set Live/1975–85, where Smith was listed as co-writer; and the 2010 compilation album The Promise (using the original recording from the Darkness on the Edge of Town sessions, but using Smith's lyrics).

Ooh, I did not know this. Between that and the Coen script, I am totally in. And Fuqua has made a couple movies I really like.

Right? I'm actually pretty excited for this. We'll see what the trailers/marketing materials look like.
