Step 56. Watch Angel Heart.
When you reach this step you must watch the movie regardless of how many times you have seen it before. Alan Parker's mystery horror hybrid movie, Angel Heart (1987), starring Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro, fared poorly at the box office, only just breaking even. Despite this, the film became a hit once released on VHS, and has become something of a cult classic ever since. Known for its spooky tone, excellent cinematography (by Michael Seresin), a sad and spooky score (by Trevor Jones), and an unusual but effective blend of genres, it attracted controversy due to a very graphic sex scene and should not be watched by children. Keep practicing the previous steps until you are able to watch it. This step includes all previous steps except the other movie steps. After successfully completing this Step, proceed to Step 57 the next day. If you fail on any step, start over the next day on Step 01 and when you get to Step 56 you will have to watch the movie again.
Dear Mongo: I accidentally ate bacon, cuz it was served with my spinach salad at Lord Bennetts. Do I have to start over on Step 01 ? Mongo: Yes.
Dear Mongo: I love the curly fries at Bandon Bait & Tackle, and I love the onion rings at Dairy Queen. I guess I'll just eat at each place once a week, alternating weeks. Is that okay ? Mongo: Yes. That's exactly what I do.
Dear Mongo: I love to eat those chocolate truffles in a box of See's candy. Is that okay? Is there a limit? Mongo: Eating See's candy is wonderful, and this diet has no limit. Use your discretion and common sense.
