"The Proposition" from, like, 2005 and starring guy pearce was
for me
one of the best little surprises I can remember movie-wise

I rented it thinking.. oh this'll be a snooze
like a ramen-western

and ended up loving the whole thing

that was a couple years after it came out
but I was still mildly annoyed when sub-par garbage like the 3:10 to Yuma remake got so much attention

but anyway
I found out today that "The Proposition" was written by fuckin NICK CAVE
like Nick Cave and the Badseeds nick cave
Grinderman nick cave

just fuckin nuts!
Well I guess, even though I don't like his inexplicably popular (albeit underground) music
he is sort of a badass type from australia
so I guess he would be capable of writing a movie so salty and raw

but I guess it's just another case of the worst disease we have today in popular culture
distribution
if they'd popped that movie down the throats of as many frat boys as they did 3:10 they'd all be sluthering through a case of coors light watching that instead

finished that Russell Brand 'bloke's autobiography
crazy fuckin sex/heroin/crack/'wankin'/grass/booze addicted crazy man
shit he's had me even goin 'you are a piece of shit'
but still
that dude was rock bottom all while running around on tv and the radio
people just egging him on and on then, suddenly going
'well the barbie up your ass and the smack in my bathroom was one thing..
I mean cutting yourself onstage, rus, was ok..
but this is just socially odd.. you're fired'
and to come back from all that and really make something of himself

great read
absolutely hilarious
