Joe recounts family events 3 years ago, about 2 weeks before New | |||
Year's Eve. His father, drunk, jumped from the balcony of his condo | |||
in Marina del Rey, breaking both heels. 2 days later his mother moved | |||
out. His father told him to put a tracking device on her car. Joe | |||
objected, but the father threatened to cut Joe out of his will. | |||
They found out that she had moved in with a divorce lawyer, John | |||
Tyler. She planned to divorce her husband, marry Tyler. | |||
5:30: Joe and his girlfriend, Linda, went to a New Year's Eve party at | |||
the home of the 'famous writer-drunk' Henry Bulshofsky(sp?)<ref>sounds like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski Charles Bukowski]</ref> | |||
and his girlfriend Carol in San Pedro. They were invited because | |||
Linda worked at Carol's sandwich shop. Linda wore a 'skin-tight | |||
leopard-print spandex suit with a deep scoop back' that | |||
she disliked but made her hot. Carol was jealous. Bulshofsky told | |||
Joe that he'd never make it as an actor because his eyes were dead, | |||
bragged about his drinking exploits. He got angry because his guests | |||
weren't drinking enough, angrily threw them out. A group of Germans | |||
who were hanging out outside relished this display of temper.<ref>The | |||
famous film directors Joe mentioned in this segment, Pascal le Braque | |||
and Friedrich Frisch, are fictional.</ref> | |||
16:30: After they left Linda insisted on changing out of her outfit. | |||
Back at his apartment they got a message from Joe's mother: Tyler had | |||
died at a party, she's at her husband's condo. | |||
17:00: Linda and Joe went to his father's condo, heard the story | |||
of Tyler's death, got drunk, partied. | |||
19:40: Joe explains why he will live his life fully. | |||
22:10: Joe tells us how happy he is. (He has the company of his | |||
faithful companion, Ollie.)<ref>Ollie is the | |||
name of his neighbors' dog in [[Insomnia]], the name of the dog the | |||
guy happy with his 9-millimeter shoots in [[Problems]], his dog in [[Old Man]] | |||
</ref> He blows 3 noisemakers, interprets their | |||
meaning: 'Doesn't that evoke the spirit of the evening, while at the | |||
same time casting into the future the potential of things yet unborn?' | |||
… 'An overtone of life's bittersweet, tantalizing moments, the | |||
frivolousness of nature set against human yearning.'… 'what | |||
does that suggest, if not self-censorship in a world of limitless | |||
horizons?' | |||
23:50: Joe makes New Year's resolutions, some grand, some petty: | |||
'protect the ozone layer and save the rainforest' and 'No more random | |||
midnight obscene phone calls.' | |||
25:00: A TV announcer counts down to midnight. | |||
25:40: Joe recites the [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56964/speech-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow 'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow' soliloquy] | |||
