"How was the movie?" she asked as she flopped down on the couch and flipped on the television.

"Good. Really good," Matt replied. "Interesting."

"Interesting? Why interesting?" Melissa said. She started flipping channels.

"It's about a writer who writes himself into his work. Colin Farrell plays this struggling screenwriter named Martin -- and the movie was written and directed by this guy, Martin McDonagh, who wrote that play we saw on Broadway with Christopher Walken in it."

"Right. That was weird."

"It was," he said, nodding. "Weird but good. So, anyway, Colin Farrell plays this writer named Martin. He's come up with a title he really likes for a screenplay -- 'Seven Psychopaths.' But that's all he has, the title. He doesn't even have the seven psychopaths. But then these people in his life -- or perhaps these characters he's invented -- are all revealed to be psychopaths, and he gets caught in the middle of this elaborate gangster-slash-revenge comedy with them involving a kidnapped dog."

Melissa yawned again. "A writer writing himself into his work? That sounds like a terrible idea." 

After appearing in just about every other movie between 1990 and 2005, Christopher Walken has been quiet lately. So what’s the 69-year-old been up to? Apparently he’s been playing old school video games, like Super Mario World.
