Never one for psychosexual infantilism or paedophilic fantasy, after their sex he said, ‘Good vagina. Maybe more Vietnam.’

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.
