First of all Scott Rosenberg is a writer, he most recently wrote
October Road (which I liked, don't get me wrong, but what-the-fuck?). He also penned
Domestic Disturbance, High Fidelity, Disturbing Behavior, and
Con Air ...(and
Kangaroo Jack...fuck the heck?)...So, I mean, the guy can write
Domestic Disturbance wasn't really a great flick, but
Con Air, High Fidelity, and
Disturbing Behavior were all pretty much good flicks.
However, I just found out two things about young Scott Rosenberg that startled me. To explain first and foremost, if you know me, you know that I am a huge (
huge) fan of the
Joe Pitt Series that Charlie Huston has put out (as well as his
Moon Knight run) which go by the titles of
Already Dead, Half the Blood of Brooklyn, and
No Dominion. These books came out before
Moonlight and all that shit, so don't get the wrong idea. Charlie Huston writes noir-crime-fiction. Which, I kid you not, is fantastic. It's based on a vamp
yre named Joe Pitt (and that's all you get). I found out that there's a movie in development ...based on the first book
Already Dead....and Scott Rosenberg is behind it. I nearly cried. The cat behind
October Road one of the most overly pretentious shows ever written? Christ on a crutch. Then I started reading about the guy; and I saw that he was once arrested ...
For getting into a bar fight with Vince Vaughn and Steve Buscemi in which he was
stabbed three times in the scuffle.
Right on.
