We watched an old-fashion
Mickeky Spillane- style detective murder and other crimes on HBO last night. MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN. It starred Edward Norton, who also directed
it. It was written by Jonathan Lethem,
and took place in New York City in 1957.
It also starred Bruce
Willis, Michael K. Williams, Alec Baldwin, William DaFoe, and others I didn’t
know by name.
Ed Norton was an investigator
with Tourette Syndrome. I knew a person
in the Atlanta Post Office with Tourette Syndrome. It seemed at any time a word association
would triggered his mind and he would loudly start yapping. And that is what Edward Norton did, which
made conversations interesting, but it
seemed to bother no one, New Yorkers have seen everything.
It was a good movie I
thought.
It also reminded me of
certain rich ruthless poweful New Yorkers that was mentioned in Mary Trump’s
book. The book was written in 1999 so I
don’t know if that was intended or not.
