Usually I can always find anything on IMDB but I don’t have anything to go on with this one. It was a small, independent, very ‘artsy’ little film made, I think, in the 90s about a pair of identical, conjoined twin brothers visiting the city for their birthday. Somehow (I missed the begining) they hook up with a classic ‘hooker with a heart of gold’ character who helps them out. In the end one of the twins gets sick and dies and that’s sort of a mixed blessing because now the surviving brother is separated from him physically but, of course, also emotionally. I think the twin brothers starring in it (they weren’t really conjoined) also wrote & directed it? ---

And [here’s the IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162830/) page on it. Sounds very interesting. ---

I knew it wouldn’t take long! Yes, that’s the film. Thanks. And it was a neat little film. ---

Shot by M. David Mullen, a good friend and mentor of mine. I love that movie. ---

That one was on a list of “Best Unknown Movies of the 90’s” that a coworker at the movie theater gave to me. Man he knew how to pick 'em. He’s writing reviews for some paper in Las Vegas, now. ---

I dig that movie a lot, but I was never under the impression that the woman was a prostitute. Maybe she once was, but not anymore. Am I mistaken? ---

Oh, and in case anyone hasn’t realized it yet, conjoined twins _must_ be identical. Think about it.
