'Seven Psychopaths' loose in high desert
The high desert, with its boulder-strewn landscapes and the haphazard limbs of the Joshua tree, stars in the forthcoming “Seven Psychopaths,” the second feature film to be shot in the desert in recent months.
The movie, described as a twisted comedy, stars Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken.
Shooting on the film wraps today in the high desert near Yucca Valley.
Production began Nov. 7 in Los Angeles, but the 125-person crew arrived on Monday to film three days of action and driving scenes around Pioneertown and Joshua Tree.
…
he film is written and directed by Academy Award-winner Martin McDonagh and revolves around Farrell’s character, Marty, a screenwriter with writer’s block who gets caught up in a dog-kidnapping plot gone awry with friends Bill, played by Rockwell, and Hans, played by Walken.
Harrelson plays Charlie, a psychopathic gangster whose beloved Shih Tzu disappears….
The Desert Sun has a cameo in the movie, too.
As Farrell and Walken leave a grocery store, Farrell sees a stack of newspapers with the headline: “Actor sought in fifth jack of diamonds slaying.”
The prop newspaper stays on Farrell’s lap while he and Walken drive through the desert.
Movie officials were tight-lipped about the film and what exactly was shot in the desert Tuesday, but according to reports, the movie is dark, funny and — quite possibly — confusing.
“If you held a gun to my child’s head, I wouldn’t know how to break down that (expletive) plot,” Farrell told reporters before filming began, according to VirginMedia.com. “Martin (McDonagh) wrote a great and really original script.”…
So Colin Farrell can act wonderfully, sing beautifully, and dance amazingly.
WHY CAN’T I HAVE HIM???

“Fels calls it the “gender recognition differential.” Men routinely expect their goals and achievements to be valued, and they seek recognition from others when it’s not forthcoming. But then they can always count on an audience primed to appreciate individualistic achievement and the competitive drive that fuels it. Despite 30 years of modern feminism, women still labor as the recognizers: generic listeners and deferential conversational partners. Fels says it flat out: “[T]he mandate that females provide recognition to males is a basic requirement of the white, middle-class notion of femininity.” The idea runs rampant through the mainstream psychological and sociological literature. Study after study proposes that women’s identity is more “relational,” defined by efforts to support, help, and nurture; that men’s sense of self is goal-oriented, based on achievement.”

Took me forever to find this. The ‘flip’ book style can’t be used. At least I couldn’t figure it out.
