How about Farrell as Pretty Boy Floyd in Michael Mann's next flick?

Good to hear about In Bruges. I can't wait to see this. Ed Douglas gave it a 9/10.

McDonagh is someone to look out for...not that he wasn't prior to In Bruges.

Awesome. Im seeing this at a screening next week here in Chicago. McDonagh is going to be answering some questions...I think I should try to come up with some.

Best script ever.

The trailer looked okay to me, but all I really needed was to see McDonagh's name. His track record is so good that's enough.

Asshole Elsewhere

Jeffrey Wells skipped THE ENTIRE LINE AT THE IN BRUGES PARTY...

...WALKED UP TO THE PERSON AT THE DOOR and they said, "you'll have to wait in line, sir." He said, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"

Jeffrey Wells is a goddamn asshole. Goodnight, everyone.

yikes!..... wanna see where this goes....

Jeff,

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who dug "In Bruges." Seems everyone I was talking to afterward was so-so on it. Agreed that it's the best film to open Sundance in I don't know how long.

What pissed me off about the trailer is that in showing a specific with Ralph Fiennes late in the movie, it ruins the tension of an earlier scene. You know which one I mean.

Missed you at the Yarrow tonight. Too good for the press screenings? Elvis Mitchell was there, but you couldn't be? :)

Hopefully will catch you at something else.

All of this is immaterial. What are it's OSCAR CHANCES? AWGSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHASDFASDFh Blam.

Speaking of which, the DEFIANCE trailer. Plenty of milky white light, English spoken in a foreign accent, uplift, etc. Wells' worst nightmare.

Rothchild, someone wants to buy you a drink, either in Park City or LA afterwards.

You know how sometimes you squirm in your seat on someone elses behalf? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEI7ekLjLSc

McDonagh's provided some of my favorite moments in the theatre of late. THE LT. OF INISHMORE was terrific fun, as was BEAUTY QUEEN OF LENANE. THE PILLOWMAN had real emotional heft to it. So happy to hear that he might be making the transition to movies with his talent intact. Doesn't always go down that way.

So it's better than Smokin' Aces?

"...looks like nothing but fastballs, is actually about curves, sliders and change-ups."

I'm assuming Nolan Ryan fastballs, Bert Blyleven curves, Randy Johnson sliders, and, of course, Hoyt Wilhem change-ups.

I have never understood the pass that Colin Farrell gets on this site. His Oxycodone addled performance in the laughably pretentious Miami vice was somewhat ameliorated by watching his Eugene levy-like eyebrows dry-humping his forehead. The guy looks like the spawn of an unholy coupling between Ernest Borgnine and Tyne Daly, and he emotes as well as a 10 pound sack of damp dryer lint. BTW I saw Jeffery yelling insults at fat people at a Whole foods hot bar.

Wells to Rothchild: I was at the back of the line and a woman in front of me asked me, "What's this party for?" I told her it was for "In Bruges" and she told her three friends, who were ahead of her, and they all giggled with excitement. I realized all of a sudden that this was a lookie-lou, pretty-please?, I-want-to meet Colin Farrell line of people with NO POWER, so I said screw this and walked to the front to ask what the deal was...not to get ahead of everyone, but to ASK. At that very moment Geoff Gilmore and his party pulled up to the curb and I figured, well, maybe I'll just join this group -- I had my laminated invite anyway and I would just flash it as I went in. So I did that. Gilmore was cool with me joining up. I can't wait in line to get into a party under anyt circmstance. It's against my principles.

Relax, everyone. We all know the life of an internet blogger is marginal at best, so if Jeffrey needs to skip the line and crash the party every once in a while to avoid the cold, clammy grip of inconsequentiality, I say let the sun shine free, my friends, as a dog's ass is surely waiting.

Wow, can't wait to see In Bruges. The trailer made it out to be a fun movie...now I expect something serious. Farrell's did great, interesting work in The New World, Miami Vice and Ask the Dust and I can't wait to see him here.

actionman, are you def seeing Floverclaw this weekend, cuz it's playing next Sunday. Is there a trend in movies starting as one thing and becoming another? I can think of two, L-C and TWBB (as Gaydos has said so well, way back when).

T. Holly is a visitor from the future, speaking a form of English we only half understand.

"actionman, are you def seeing Floverclaw this weekend, cuz it's playing next Sunday"

I don't follow this...

I am seeing the film tomorrow...Cloverfield that is...I'm looking forward to In Bruges.

"At that very moment Geoff Gilmore and his party pulled up to the curb and I figured, well, maybe I'll just join this group -- I had my laminated invite anyway and I would just flash it as I went in."

Why did I just flash on the scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure where he follows Milton Berle into the studio and pinches the security guard on the cheek?

He said, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"

And in a line of red-staters with NO POWER to boot;]

I feel like you haven't actually lived in Los Angeles until you've honest-to-gawd heard somebody say, "Do you know who I am?" trying to gain access.

Once, I was in an oversold line at the DGA, waiting with a pissed Sean Penn and Dennis Hopper, to get into the screening of a film I was actually in, and lo, I heard those magic furious words (but not from Penn or Hopper) to the doorman. Life is too short, so I took that as my cue to leave and grab some food at Toi. Where nobody knows who I am.

Wells to Christian: I did not say nor will I ever say, "Do you know who I am?" TO anyone. Under any circumstances. I will, however, occasionally say "eat my ass" to this and that talk-backer.

I didn't think you actually said it, Jeff. I was just riffing on the phrase.

I hate any line to get into a "important" party/club/bar...if you can slip in without blatantly fucking the other people in line, more power. I declare a pass to Jeff Well.

I can't wait to see this now, it looked like there was a quiet potential when I saw the trailer in front of There Will Be Blood. And it is good for Farrell to stop taking the paycheck, he was good in Tigerland, Vice, The New World and a few others...even Minority Report.
