I'm sure the topic of "cocktail lounge" conjures up images of swingin' little cozy hideaways where a cool cat can order a hip martini-du-jour and smooth-talk a sophisticated chick. Think Frank Sinatra, Buster Poindexter and Dean Martin with a bit of Lord Buckley's silky speech.
I admit when I saw the topic, the first thing I thought was "loser".
I don't drink. I haven't been in a bar or cocktail lounge in twenty-five years. And my only frame of reference is Steve Buscemi's directorial debut "Trees Lounge".
The film, Trees Lounge, was about a cocktail lounge filled with losers, talking about their loser lives, hanging out with their loser friends and screwing up every opportunity to better themselves. It was a really depressing movie.
I highly recommend it.
