"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

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

Mr. Snroombes (mattresslessness), Friday, 15 January 2016 18:11 (eight years ago) link

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

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

nomar, Friday, 15 January 2016 18:20 (eight years ago) link

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 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.

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?

two years pass...

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.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 28 July 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link

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.
