OMG

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

The performance is a fascinating one, tho frequently more of an exercise, and there are smatterings of '70s European road movies and sitcom.

But the second half goes on kinda forever, and God do I hate Judd Hirsch.

really, Glenn Heath otm

this film is also set in 2008 election season and thank Christ, Penn turns the TV channel before we see Obama.

thank Christ

i can't remember what it's called but this guy is in the shittiest looking mob movie ever, i saw a trailer, he's hilarious

he's mickey cohen! i forget what it's called too. i want someone to make a youtube that's just every second of the movie w sean penn as mickey cohen and i'll watch that.

there's something so terrible about sean penn's persona. like the bob dylan moustache & the kinda scrunchy aloof & wizened expression. he sorta reminds me of johnny depp, in having some of the mannerisms of, & affording himself the dramatic space occupied by, really great male actors, but w/o really having the facts to back this. i probably need to see him in something he really kills in but he is not so interesting afaict.

this must be the place is okay. i like the line about that's life

it looks so bad. like he is snarling & he is doing a sorta christian bale batman voice?

it looks like it was made in 1995

it looks like a Moonwalker remake that the studio cut michael jackson, dancing & robots out of

lolololol it's called "gangster squad"

i like sweet and lowdown and the falcon and the snowman and i dunno prob something else. i could probably still get some lols out of hurlyburly, a movie i've always been kind of proud of for its sheer level of repugnance. at the end sean penn doesn't fuck anna paquin and that's how you know he's had an epiphany.

sweet & lowdown's a good call, yeah. i always have this argument about johnny depp & have to concede a few, but even still you can end up being all "is that all you got, dead man & arguably donnie brasco but really not donnie brasco?"

the unwatchables xp

wow thread went south fast

lol

He insisted on smoking on Letterman sometime in the 90s, even as a teen I thought he looked a complete dick. C overall tho

For being miscast he's fine in Milk. I actually quite like his early performances: Bad Boys, Racing with the Moon, At Close Range.

so not Jewish enough?

If there's a better American film actor in the last 30 years I'd like to see 'im.

based on the jean-patrick manchette novel 'the prone gunman'. looks pretty solid albeit quite a hollywoodized version of the original story i'm guessing.

dud

I took some comfort in a unique aspect of El Chapo's reputation among the heads of drug cartels in Mexico: that, unlike many of his counterparts who engage in gratuitous kidnapping and murder, El Chapo is a businessman first, and only resorts to violence when he deems it advantageous to himself or his business interests.

uh

kinda like W, eh kids

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.

...dud

sean penn sharted in relief at surviving

"picardfacepalm" not quite covering it

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

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.
