Eccentric Gentlemen of SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS: Sam Rockwell

I am really hoping for a dance scene in Seven Psychopaths, because while Christopher Walken likes to dance, so does Sam Rockwell. He gets it in most of his roles, even in on the moon in Moon, which you should see if you haven't).



Rockwell's Batman shows up for "Robin's Big Date."




And holy cats, he's a hooligan in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!




SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS' world premiere is tonight!
Fri., Sept. 7 11:59PM:  RYERSON THEATRE

Repeat screening:

The Eccentric Gentlemen of SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS: Tom Waits

Seven Psychopaths premieres tonight, featuring the talents of many an eccentric artist and performer, including, singer/songwriter/raconteur, Tom Waits, a man of many talents and singular taste.

Tom Waits performs "Eggs and Sausage" in 1976.




A scene from Waits' Brechtian musical, The Black Rider, that makes me think that Waits would make a great Devil in any film.




Waits' "Jockey Full of Bourbon" opens Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law. Wait's starred in the movie along with John Lurie, Ellen Barkin and Roberto Begnini.




There's been speculation that Tom Waits was an inspiration for Heath Ledger's Joker. They both like a good story, it's true.




And if that isn't enough, here's an interview with Waits on NPR.

Eccentric Gentlemen of SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS: Christopher Walken

 Seven Psychopaths looks to be full of gentlemen of the eccentric persuasion, which is a good excuse to remember some of their best hijinx.  You might remember Christopher Walken dancing in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice":



But Walken dances like nobody's business and does a strip tease in Steve Martin's Pennies From Heaven (Thanks, Keith)





Also, Walken would like to have a tail, really: "I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive." (Thanks, Miguel!)

 I've heard that Walken would really like to have a show where he both dances and cooks. Get on that, please, producers.



 Make Christopher Walken's chicken and pears before Seven Psychopaths and you'll have leftovers to savor the next day!
