The New Bruges

.


I can't remember the context, but I was just talking about In Bruges earlier this week. I was probably calling somebody a cunt and smashing a telephone to bits, is all. Anyway it's next on my list of "go back and watch that movie again, fool!" is the point. And now, more incentive! Its director Martin McDonagh, a playwright that wasn't even sure he'd make another movie after he was so successful with his first one, is working on a new project. Huzzah!

It's being shopped around Cannes, is how we know - it's called Seven Psychopaths and his Bruges star Colin Farrell's already attached. Along with Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, and Mickey Rourke, which well can you picture a more perfect cast for McDonagh's sensibilities? It's about a screenwriter that gets involved in a botched dog-napping scheme. I want to eat this movie's face off with my love already. As a side-note, did you know that Martin McDonagh is a sexy bitch? I just learned this. Huh.

Do yourself a favor and find a full-color photo of Mr McDonagh. His blue eyes/prematurely gray hair combo is really something.

This is fantastic news. Thanks!

I just rewatched In Bruges for, what?, the third time (I guess) last Saturday, and it gets better every time. easily on my Top 10 movies from the last decade, I just love it so much!

Agree w/Fer--it's on my top 10 for the decade, too. After you watch it, follow up w/"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and "Lucky # Slevin", and you've got yourself a brilliant little mini-festival.

@madge bettany
agree! I saw him at A Behanding talking to David Duchovy and Tea Leoni and he's even better in person.
And Tea Leoni is beauteous.

Shawmp, you saw him in the flesh?!?! Omigod! Plus, you know, it's great that you saw the play and all.

I posted some photos to my tumblr:
