Passion Play

Friday, April 29th, 2011

tn_passionplayYes, it’s true, this is a movie about Mickey Rourke and Bill Murray fighting over Megan Fox because she has wings. Mickey plays a jazz trumpeter (the serious type who always wears colorful suits, a fedora and pointy shoes) who gets in trouble because he accidentally slept with the wife of a gangster named Happy (Murray). So he gets beat up and left in the desert.

When he wakes up he wanders and finds a carnival with a sideshow. That’s where he sees this winged lady. Not riding a ferris wheel – she’s in the sideshow, because she has wings. Not sure if you got that.

  • Hey bud, thanks for reading.

    Don't feel obligated, but there are

  • 5. My exciting line of fashion and leisure products

    (I get a couple bucks per item, you get a cool t-shirt, mug or lifestyle item)

  • WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THE SHIT OUT OF VERN & OUTLAWVERN.COM

    if that's your thing:

  • 1. Patreon

    (A crowdfunding type deal where you toss me a few bucks monthly to help me take time off from the day job to write more of this good shit.)

  • 2. Buy my books from your local bookseller or somebody

    click here for my Amazon author page

    (I get residuals and/or the respect of my publisher, you get to have your life changed forever by the power of my words)

    EXTRA CREDIT: Review them on Amazon! That would really help me out. Unless you didn't like them, in which case forget I said anything.

  • (I still have this Paypal donation thing you can use if you hate the name Patreon or something)

  • 6. Spread the word

    Tell your friends about my reviews and my books and everything. Only cool people though please, we don't need a bunch of suckers around here.

    THANKS EVERYBODY. YOUR FRIEND, VERN
