So I have rented two new-to-me Tom Waits movies, and one I haven&#8217;t seen in almost thirty years.  Here&#8217;s one that nobody I know has seen, landing in between McDonagh&#8217;s <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/1707\">In Bruges<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/12370\">Three Billboards<\/a><\/em>.  It&#8217;s the perfect connection between those two, with Colin from <em>Bruges<\/em>, Woody and Rockwell from <em>Billboards<\/em>, and all the bad behavior from those movies (violence, sexism) with some meta- distance (Farrell is a screenwriter named Marty, criticized for all his violence and sexism).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image21\/sevenpsychos1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Michaels Pitt and Stuhlbarg are killed as a gag before I even recognized them.  Christopher Walken kidnaps dogs for the reward money, with Rockwell&#8217;s help, has a sweet wife in hospital, and I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s even a psychopath.  Waits plays a bonus psycho, always carrying a white rabbit, eager to tell the screenwriter his story.  He&#8217;s seeking his partner in crime from back in the 1970&#8217;s when they used to be serial killers of serial killers.  Unfortunately, in the flashback where she leaves him after burning Zodiac alive, he&#8217;s played by a younger actor, but I think the rabbit makes up for Tom&#8217;s minimal screen time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image21\/sevenpsychos2.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two great things happened at once: I activated Tom Waits Mode and was downtown long enough to visit Videodrome again.
