Sean Penn-classic...or dud?

He's dangerous. But I'll give him the Classic nod anyway.

he was married to madge-donna. i liked him in shanghai suprise in which they both starred.

his narration of the dogtown and z-boys documentary is c-lassic.

I must see Dogtown and Z-Boys

i have the dogtown dvd (it came free with my shoes!)

stacy peralta laughs at sean penn's flub in the dvd commentary.

More or less.

the all the king's men remake is getting tepid reviews, no surprise as it seems like ho-hum oscar bait with typical Sean Penn overacting. the original version was not so hot either (big surprise from an oscar winner, huh?) but was watchable for mercedes mccambridge.
since fast times, he's been mostly dud, but i know legions disagree (his dead bro (rip) was alright).

a "Rolling Crappy Hollywood Remake Thread" wouldn't be such a bad idea.....

About that Cure wannabe role:

It’s not subtle: in his forthcoming movie, “This Must Be the Place,” Sean Penn resembles Robert Smith, the goth frontman of the Cure. The resemblance was intentional; the Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, known for the political biopic “Il Divo,” idolized the Cure growing up and decided to make his English-language debut about a rich, depressed ’80s rocker married to a no-nonsense woman (Frances McDormand) who’s a firefighter.

“He’s a child, and she’s the man of the family,” Mr. Sorrentino explained, adding that the story was based on his own relationship and also that of Mr. Smith, who is still with the same woman he began dating as a teenager and married at 29. Iggy Pop was another source of rock inspiration, and David Byrne supplies music and makes a cameo. Mr. Penn even sang a Cure-like song in the movie, but the scene was cut because his co-star for the scene, a dog, didn’t behave, Mr. Sorrentino said.

Oh Lord how have I not seen this before now?

Someone find the "Cure-like" song that was cut. I think I need to hear that.

So this is basically Robert Smith fan fic?

x-post lol

I need to see this.

So this is basically Robert Smith fan fic?

If it is, Sorrentino has some odd fascinations:

...some audience members gave Mr. Penn a standing ovation at the premiere, but others said they found his performance mannered and the story bizarre. It certainly takes an unexpected turn when, with the help of an expert played by Judd Hirsch (a casting choice Mr. Penn suggested), his aging rocker, Cheyenne, becomes a Nazi hunter on a quest to avenge his father. A journey across the American West, another of Mr. Sorrentino’s cinematic inspirations, and into self-discovery follows. Mr. Sorrentino thinks of it as a comedy, Mr. Penn less so.

All those arena tours were just a cover operation for...ROBERT SMITH: NAZI HUNTER.

Which, if the movie was called that, would be the greatest movie ever.

This sounds insane. Also, Judd Hirsch!

yeah this sounds incredible

plus: Nazis!

this movie was great, didn't anyone else see it?

"My article failed"

;_;

In a narrow, dark passage between ours and an adjacent bungalow, Chapo puts his arm over my shoulder and renews his request that I see him in eight days. "I'll be saying goodbye now," he says. At this moment, I expel a minor traveler's flatulence (sorry), and with it, I experience the same chivalry he'd offered when putting Kate to bed, as he pretends not to notice. We escape its subtle brume, and I join my colleagues inside the bungalow.

I had to requote this because omg

can Rolling Stone hire Sean Penn to write full-time about farting on the rich and infamous

god, brume as a word for fart mist has been in my head since i read this last week

this is what I get for ignoring this whole thing on general principle, an entire week without knowing that Sean Penn took the opportunity of this meeting to literally write about his farts

sailor of fart seas (sorry)

he carries Chaucer's legacy in all his assignments

“I am a dog, as keen as can be.
Is there room in the brume
for a dog like me?”

i just like that this tourist fart was part of sean penn's confirmation bias about the nobility of el chapo relative to other drug lords

is it unfair that I am now assuming that Sean Penn just farts on everyone, waiting to see if they call him on it or if they will chivalrously ignore it

http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/15/media/sean-penn-speaks-el-chapo-charlie-rose/index.html

"My article failed"

;_;

isn't his piece like 80% about him and his flatulence, appended with a brief and not very interesting interview at the end?

can someone please make a youtube of pensive penn scenes overdubbed with small fart noises ty

Penn has been cropdusting the American moviegoing public for 35 years.

I throw my satchel into the open back of one of the SUVs, and lumber over to the tree line to take a piss. Dick in hand, I do consider it among my body parts vulnerable to the knives of irrational narco types, and take a fond last look, before tucking it back into my pants.

surprised he could see his dick through this

Of course he did.

the less subtle brume of domestic violence surrounds him

no escaping that brume, either

Matthew Broderick seems like an odd omission from that list

well the reason I ask has to do with more recent events that mr snrub may have come across in the course of googling that cracked article xps

idk what yr getting at

the recent defamation suit where both he & madonna attest it never happened, also stuff like

On the Media was both fair and ruthless about Penn last episode.

I still think about this every once in a while and laugh.

Heartfelt thank you.

You have to admit that it's a kind of perverse accomplishment to have written prose that awful. I'm not sure I could write anything that ugly either on purpose or by mistake.

Where did all the laughs go?
Are you out there, Louis C.K.?
Once crucial conversations
Kept us on our toes;
Was it really in our interest
To trample Charlie Rose?

I thought it was just Eastern European drug dealers that were laundering money through Amazon publishing.

Couldn't find a better thread for this, so here it is. "At Close Range" has haunted me for long enough, ever since I was a kid, that even though I haven't seen it for a few years that probably makes it one of my favorite movies. I have no idea why I ever saw it in the first place. Was it a staple of cable? I didn't have cable. Were there scenes from it in the Madonna video? I don't remember the video. At the time I definitely was not a fan of either Sean Penn or Christopher Walken, and even though the based-on-a-true story movie is set 20 minutes from where I grew up, I didn't learn that until much later. Anyway, this movie has an intensely ethereal vibe unlike many others. The closest I can think of is "Near Dark," but of course that is a slightly different beast. "At Close Range" is just such a dark depiction of people at their worst, with this air of menace hovering over it like a shroud.

Never got around to seeing it, always meant to. I had to check my memory, but the "Live to Tell" video has lots of clips from the movie. James Foley directed a bunch of House of Cards episodes; he's most known for Glengarry Glen Ross.
