Smokin' Joe Carnahan: THE CITY OF LIGHTS

THE CITY OF LIGHTS

06/21/2007 at 06:47 PM

No wonder Hitler hit this place so hard. PARTY TOWN. (KIDDING, RELAX)
Christ, it doesn't get dark till almost midnight. What-to-do...What-to-do!
I had a lot of work to catch up on, so I shut it down inside this great suite at The
Lancaster. Never been here before but will most certainly be back. Got my buddy
on his way to hang with me. He just had a birthday, so I thought, letting him do
drunken sprints after disaffected French girls along the Champs-Elysées was
the gift that would and COULD, keep on giving. A day of press tomorrow. The French
seem to love 'Aces'. I figured it would float over here. They have an undying devotion
to all things of a 'noir' extraction and their collective love of American gangster flicks is
well-documented.

Off to Cognac tomorrow to drink myself into a slow, stuporous spiral on
gallons of the city's namesake.

Those posts should be deeply entertaining. I'll do my best Kerouac impersonation.

I'm going to assume that I was on the correct website when I had a look at the hotel.

WOW! Niiiiiice. Obviously not Nice, because that's in the south and you're more north than that.

I'm curious, does it get dark quite early in America during the summer? If so, welcome to Europe, Joe!!

Can't wait to read your drunken posts. Should be a hoot!!

Enjoy.

Damn! That should have said "does it NOT get dark quite early ...."

It's early, and I'm tired.

Hey Joe,

I had the pleasure of working with you on the L'oreal commercial with Matt Fox. I was his opponent in the boxing scene.

Just wanted to know if I could get a look at the final product. I would appreciate any info you could send.

Thanks Joe

Lorenzo

For whatever it's worth, I also say, "More Tremor Brothers!!!"

Hey, Lorenzo! Good stuff bro. I hope to post something to this blog so you can have a look. In honesty, we did a much better version than the French but we go with their cut because it's the run that will run overseas. I will throw ours up if I can. It's quite good. Very good work man.

Bonsoir Mr. Carnahan,

The French Bureau of Intelligence is not buying your purpose for travel to our country. According to your documents you have listed the Cognac Film festival, Hennesey taste testing, a “Smokin’ Aces” press junket and banging it out at the penthouse suite of The Lancaster as your reasons for visitation. Our sources have learned that these reasons are foutaise and you are planning an “Aces” style hit on a douche bag producer known as Pepe Pierre. We have also discovered that you have hired the services of a hit man by the name of Ben Bray to do your dirty work. We are watching you closely Mr.Carnahan, if anything bad happens to PP you will be sorry.

au revoir,
Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau
