I watched a documentary on Charles Bukowski last night. It made me never want to drink again. I wonder what his liver looked like at the end. Probably like a charbroiled steak with A-1 steak sauce. The point is, at some point someone will try to make a movie about his life (Barfly not included. Mickey Rourke sucks.) And I thought it could be really amazing if they did it like Todd Haynes did Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. Yeah, that movie confused the shit out of me and I had no idea what was going on and Richard Gere sucked nuts, but I thoroughly enjoyed Cate Blanchett and Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams in it.
So far the people I think should play Bukowski are Willem Dafoe, Tom Waits, Crispin Glover, and for some reason...Gabriel Byrne. And maybe Kathy Bates. Just throwing that out there. So Mr. Haynes, let me know when you're ready to start pre-production.
