new stills from "Bull Run" ex Discussion Materials (2024)

"DISCUSSION MATERIALS is an existential comedy that takes place at an exclusive investment bank in the aftermath of the mysterious death of one of its managing directors. It’s based on the book Discussion Materials: Tales of a Rookie Wall Street Investment Banker by Bill Keenan. The film follows Bobby Sanders (Tom Blyth), an ex-pro-hockey-player-turned-junior-banker, as he navigates the peculiar and somewhat surreal world of high finance and faces life's meaning within this gilded cage."

Slavery, that bane of human progress, was long since abolished. The gap which separated the North from the South is almost closed. The wound which threatened the life of the nation is almost healed. The scenes of Bull Run and Antietam are almost forgotten. The cold iceberg of oppression has been melted away in the warm Gulf Stream of a Nation’s love. The world moves on forgetful of the past. Peace and prosperity meet us on every side. Then let it be the desire of every student—aye, of every citizen of this land, that this prosperity should continue on, and that the North and South may continue to stand, as they stand to-day, upon the firm basis of universal liberty and equality.

“Northern Student,” in a letter to the editor of the Princeton Press, March 1, 1873

I saw a lot of people starting to park and sit right outside the hotel this afternoon. Coupled with the food trucks who were right around the corner, and people camping out on the lawn, there was a pretty good indication something was about to happen. I got my answer walking towards town as someone asked me where the bullfight was.

Me: Oh! Is that what's going on?

Him: Yep. Starts at 3:00.

Me (pointing): Well, I assume it's down there where all the people are.

A bit later on, I'm meandering and looking at people, looking for shots to take, feeling a bit sorry for myself that the restaurant I'd chosen to eat at had closed for the afternoon (guys. It's really hard to find a salad around here.) I look at my watch and note it's almost three and I think my other lens might be more appropriate for this particular environment. I assess how I'm going to get there, as all the routes above me are full of people, and I hear a canon shot and people cheering. "Ah! It's started." I think to myself and continue on the road I was walking on, a switchback, the most direct route to the hotel.

Except all of a sudden, there's a fucking bull there. Like, an honest-to-God, fully grown bovine with ALL his manhood. And he's aggravated. I froze, because suddenly it was very clear I'd walked straight into the makeshift arena. WHICH WAS JUST A ROAD. And I know as sure as I'm sitting here I can't outrun an angry bull. I couldn't see the whites of his eyes, but I could hear his footfalls. Thankfully a man saw me and yelled at me to move.

"MOVE!! THIS WAY!! IT'S TOO RISKY HERE!" Well no shit, Sherlock. What are you doing letting loose essentially wild animals in the middle of a mass of people, anyway?

He helped me up to the level above. When I could breathe again, it became very clear that the mass of people was the whole point. Because it wasn't just trained professionals down there with him, but your average Joe (read: crazed adrenaline junkies) *taunting the bull to chase them*.

Four bulls. Up to 15 minutes of them running around (this time frame is very loosely defined), and unhinged people getting in his bubble for the sole purpose of fame? Fortune? Death?

I asked the woman next to me if they let anyone who wanted to go down there do so.

"Yes, " she answered. "You just better make sure your legs work."

(PS: The bulls don't die, not even close. And neither do the people. Well, except for the grandiose 70-year-old man that apparently died last week on the mainland.)

Spending time with friends and family in Maryland over the last week. We have parked the Lance at my Aunt’s house in Glen Burnie, Md.

We have also been working with Cummins in Manassas, Va. to get our Onan generator repaired before we head further north. The travel back and forth between Glen Burnie, Md. and Manassas, Va. is horrendous! We’ve made the trip twice now and not looking forward to doing it again but Cummins still hasn’t figured out what’s wrong. They have multiple techs looking at it. I hope they figure it out this week. We are planning to continue north on Saturday.

We were able to do some sight seeing in Manassas last week while we were there. The Manassas Battlefield Park at Bull Run was a great visit. We walked the trail over the infamous Stone Bridge at Bill Run. It’s amazing when you think about all that occurred and all that gave their life for the cause at these historical locations. Where would we be if they didn’t? Check out the Stonewall Jackson statue overlooking the battlefield at Manassas below.
