Rob the Mob (2014)

[justforbooks]

The path from successful character actor to becoming a star is difficult. It’s even harder when you’re self-destructive. Tom Sizemore, who has died aged 61 after a brain aneurysm, will be best remembered for his roles in Saving Private Ryan, as Tom Hanks’s wise sergeant, and in Heat, as the muscle in Robert De Niro’s bank-robbing crew.

His characters were often informed by their volatility: affable nihilism could explode into violence, which made him a natural player of bent cops and detectives, as believable in straight roles as in over-the-top variations, such as Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers. But his own personality bore many of those same traits. His career was sidelined repeatedly by addictions to heroin and methamphetamines, and his peripatetic drug-fuelled sex life led to repeated cases of domestic violence.

In 1998, after starring as the criminal gangster boss John Gotti in the television film Witness to the Mob, Sizemore received a visit from De Niro and his mother, who forced him into rehab. Steven Spielberg then hired him for Private Ryan, provided Sizemore be drug-tested regularly, and threatening to reshoot all his scenes if he failed a single test.

Five years later, on the verge of television success as the lead in Robbery Homicide Division, he was kicked off the set of a movie, Piggy Banks, accused of molesting an 11-year-old female actor, and convicted of domestic violence against his then girlfriend, “Hollywood madam” Heidi Fleiss. The double scandal contributed to the TV show’s cancellation.

The two sides of Sizemore’s talent could be traced back to childhood. Born in Detroit, he was the son of Thomas Sr, a lawyer and philosophy professor, and Judith (nee Schannault), who worked in the city ombudsman’s office. A self-described “wayward, angry teen”, he was drawn to acting after watching Montgomery Clift, James Dean and Marlon Brando playing such roles, and by De Niro in Taxi Driver.

He was also influenced by his father’s two brothers. His sober father won a scholarship to Harvard; his uncles were exuberant denizens of a world of drugs and crime. Sizemore tried for years to produce a script about them, An Honest Thief, written by his lawyer brother Aaron, which nearly got made in 2014, starring Sizemore and Danny Trejo. It fell through; a much different version, Good Thief, eventually appeared, without Sizemore, in 2021.

He studied theatre at Wayne State University, Detroit, taking a master’s at Temple, in Philadelphia. He began in off-Broadway theatre in New York; his friends included James Gandolfini, John McGinley and Edie Falco, with whom he had a relationship.

His first film role was in Lock Up (1989), and among his other three roles that year was a part in Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July. He did Blue Steel (1990) and Point Break (1991) for Kathryn Bigelow, the Wesley Snipes vehicle Passenger 57 (1992), and the Quentin Tarantino-scripted True Romance (1993), directed by Tony Scott, where he turned down the part originally offered him because he did not want to beat up Patricia Arquette on screen, and suggested Gandolfini, in his first Hollywood movie, for the role.

During the filming of Natural Born Killers (1994) he and Juliette Lewis began an affair; for four months they stayed in her mansion, doing drugs and having sex. “Temptation is impossible for me to resist,” he said. “Come on, this is Hollywood … it’s in the job description.”

From there he played Bat Masterson opposite Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp (1994) and was excellent in Bigelow’s overlooked Strange Days (1995). He had earned a lead role, which came in Peter Hyams’s The Relic (1997), but another small though telling part in Enemy of The State (1998), along with Private Ryan, seemed to lock him into supporting roles.

In his memoir By Some Miracle I Made it Out of There (2013), Sizemore detailed a long affair with the actor Elizabeth Hurley. In 1996 he married Maeve Quinlan, who had also been in Natural Born Killers; they divorced three years later amid accusations of drug use and physical abuse.

He had leads in three TV movies before Robbery Homicide Division, based on the original Michael Mann script that eventually became Heat. When he was not charged with molestation Sizemore returned to Piggy Banks (retitled Born Killers, to capitalise on his notoriety). Fifteen years later, the child actor, now 26, sued him for $3m, but a Utah court dismissed the lawsuit; Sizemore dismissed the allegations as “misconstrued”. His 2003 conviction in the Fleiss case resulted in seven months in jail after he failed drug tests during his probation.

At the same time he began a relationship with Janelle McIntire. In 2005 the couple had twin boys, named Jaden and Jagger. Yet at that point he made a video film called Triple X Tom, with Jersey Jaxin and three other porn actors, in which he claimed to have slept with Paris Hilton. When the celebrity denied it, he said he had made it up to impress the other actors . He did receive an XRCO award nomination as “Best New Stud”. When McIntire divorced him in 2006, he began an affair with Maxine Entwistle, the former wife of the Who bassist John.

Arrests for drug possession and spousal battery followed. He appeared on two Celebrity Rehab shows in 2010 and reunited with Fleiss on Dr Phil (2013). He ping-ponged between scandals and small parts in as many as 16 films in a year, yet still held recurring parts in series such as Hawaii Five-O and Shooter. He was dropped from Shooter when, after accidentally running over a stunt man, he was convicted in 2017 of two charges of domestic abuse against a girlfriend. He was allowed to finish his probation sentence despite a 2019 arrest for heroin possession. His last big film was playing Liam Neeson’s FBI rival William Sullivan in Felt (2017).

Sizemore wrote in his memoir: “There are so many guys who had good lives, great lives, and blew it … I think there are some guys who think they don’t deserve to have good lives.”

He is survived by his sons.

STARS & STRIPES + PHASE 2

AGENT 13 (2014, dir. Phoebe Waller-Bridge) 

Agent Audrey Carter-Rogers is transferred to the Triskelion in February 2014.  But she’s not the only Agent Carter in D.C., and certainly not the first Agent Carter that S.H.I.E.L.D. has had.  Jodie Comer and Hayley Atwell reprise their roles alongside newcomer Emily VanCamp in this neo-noir Marvel Oneshot, which serves as a backdoor pilot for the hit ABC series Agent Carter and unearths the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Peggy Carter’s legacy.  

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014, dir. Joe and Anthony Russo)

After the cataclysmic events in New York with his fellow Avengers, Steve Rogers and his daughter, Audrey Carter-Rogers, move to the nation's capital as Steve continues to adjust to modern times. An attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague throws Rogers into a web of intrigue that places the whole world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow and a new ally, the Falcon, Captain America and Lady Liberty struggle to expose an ever-widening conspiracy, but his team soon come up against an unexpected enemy.

HAWKEYE(S) (2014, created by Rob Thomas) 

Clint Barton and his protogee, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), move to Los Angeles after a series of attacks they suspect may have been at the hands of Enchantress, a young Enhanced that has been on S.H.I.E.L.D.’s radar for almost a decade.  After setting up shop as fake-P.I.s, Barton and Bishop aren’t expecting any other cases—but when a woman named America Chavez (Tashi Rodriguez) asks for their help, that all changes.  

THE FALCON: SEASON 1 (2014, created by Barry Jenkins) 

After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sam Wilson moves to New York to assist the Avengers in fighting HYDRA and help Steve Rogers track down the Winter Soldier.  During his time in the city, he inadvertently entangles himself with one of New York’s most powerful mafia families by accidentally pissing off mob princess Annie Esposito (Doja Cat) and falls in love with bakery owner Olivia Perales (Aimee Garcia).  None of this was part of the plan—but that’s just the way things go when you’re a superhero.  

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (2015, dir. Joss Whedon) 

When Tony Stark jump-starts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go terribly awry, forcing him, Thor, the Incredible Hulk, and the rest of the Avengers to reassemble. As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, the team is put to the ultimate test as they battle Ultron, a technological terror hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.

QUICKSILVER & THE SCARLET WITCH (2015, created by Dan Harmon)

Wanda and Pietro Maximoff were anarchists just months ago—now, they’re the world’s newest Avengers.  This sitcom follows the Maximoffs as they navigate the road to heroism, their respective romances with medic Mattie Rowland (Normani Kordei) and security guard Oliver Modi (Avan Jogia), and the winding force that tethers the twins to each other.   

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (2016, dir. Joe and Anthony Russo)

Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Lady Liberty must pick a side.

Y’all are getting tunes whether you ask for them or not

1. A song that reminds you of your childhood

Orinoco Flow - Enya

One of my favorite songs as a kid. I still listen to it because I love the otherworldly feel it has to it. Plus now I associate it with Myst because the instrumentals are a lot like the Myst classic soundtrack. That matters because the Myst series is the only video game my mom plays and I have fond memories watching her play.

2. A song to sleep to

Bad Wings - The Glitch Mob

The Glitch Mob has a lot of tracks I find to be rather soothing. This one especially because it is slower than most of their other tracks. I actually found this one when I was playing my bed time Pandora radio like back in ohhhh 2014 I believe? So it works.

3. A song that your best friend loves

We’ll roll with Isa over @ aiiizawa 

Pay No Mind (Feat. Passion Pit) - Madeon

Feeling is pretty mutual on how much this song rocks. It is nice, bouncy, and the song just makes you feel warm all over.

4. A song that hypes you the fuck up

Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy) - Rob Zombie

I will not be surprised when I get a speeding ticket due to this song. It’s just that good and I will never not go apeshit to it. I also love the bass in the intro, it sounds fucking killer in almost every car/truck I’ve been in.

5. A song you like to daydream to

Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics

It’s soothing, it has a sweet vibe to it, it also has a longing feel to it. It works for almost every ship of mine, it instantly puts me in a mood. What else could I want from it?

6. A song that’s on at least 3 of your playlists

Bite Me! (Chrom Remix) - Hocico

This one was recommended to me by a very dear friend and I just love it. It’s on my personal playlist, a playlist for a friend’s character, and my general VtM playlist. It’s just a really cool song.

7. A song that you love from a genre you don’t usually like

Train, Train - Blackfoot

Rockabilly is something I want to get more into, but I really am so choosy. This was one given to me by my Dad and he was absolutely right to. The song fucking slaps.

8. A song that you liked when you where 10 that still slaps

Imaginary - Evanescence

I’ve loved Evanescence since I was a little one and I’m still right on that. Amy Lee’s voice is amazing and I still listen to her very often. This one was my favorite as a kid because on the Fallen album, you go from Tourniquet with it’s full orchestra ending and then it drops to this single violin in the intro and that rocked. I was always so excited to hear it as a kid. I also loved shouting “FLOWERS”. Didn’t really know any of the other lyrics until much later.

9. A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

Uncharted Worlds - Sam Hulick

Is it cheating to pull from a game OST? Either way, this song always makes me want to explore the galaxy. Lucky bastards in ME.

10. A song you’d want to dance with your partner to ( or future partner )

Ragtime Cat (Ft. Lilja Bloom) - Parov Stelar

I’ll take my L on this one, but I do genuinely love electro swing, I love swing dancing, and this one feels like the perfect one to dance with. It has a fun tempo and I also love the jump between new and old in this song.

11. A song to stomp around and pout to

Happy? - Mudvayne

I mean really, what else do you need beyond a passive-aggressive nu metal song to be angry to?

12. A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow

Wheel in the Sky - Journey

Sounds like the perfect place to contemplate, and Wheel in the Sky is the perfect song to do that with. Think about the future and fate while enjoying a good tune by Journey.

13. A song that reflects your views on love

Sparks - Faith and the Muse

Kind of my go to love song? There is a reverence and a hesitance in this song that really speaks to me. Love is scary, but it’s alive and well.

14. A song to sing to the sun

I could have been cheeky and picked The Sun by Gothminister, but I won’t

Honestly, I’m not sure how to read this, so take something that is definitely a daytime tune with Song 2 - Blur

Not a “sun” song, but I always associate it with the kind of sports I like and that as close as I can get.

15. A song you like that sounds like its on the soundtrack to an indie coming of age film

Volcanic Jig - Natalie MacMaster

Feels like the kind of light, bouncy stuff they would play in an opening scene to me.

16. A song that you like that romanticises being a teenager

Electricity - Red City Radio

At least part of it. It has a growing up with someone you like kind of feel to it and part of that would have to be being a teen. Beyond that, evidently nothing I listen to matches this either.

17. A song that makes you want to grab your friends jump up and down dancing and screaming the lyrics

Devil’s Dance Floor - Flogging Molly

Mostly because it’s just the song stuck in my head really bad, but that chorus, it sounds so fun to sing!!

18. A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry

Oh I regret using Sparks already

Love You To Life - Grace Jones

Might as well be a poem really! Just take a listen and enjoy.

19. A song that you can imagine listening to in an abandoned church ( if it isn’t hozier im judging you, but whatever )

Listen to more artists

Sunday Morning - The Bolshoi

I would pick this one for a number of reasons - first off, it has a good sort of distant feeling to me that matches an abandoned place, second it has to deal with negative feelings with Christianity, which would match my mood best while standing in a church, abandoned or not.

20. A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it

Warrior Falls -  Ludwig Göransson

Yes, it is a Marvel movie soundtrack, but consider - The drums in the Black Panther Soundtrack rock. Now to be honest, this is like one of the only movie soundtracks I have saved. If we went video game, then god it might have to be

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Main Theme - Brian Tyler

AC soundtracks in general tend to fucking rock, but this theme is so powerful every time I hear it, I’m fuckin ready to be a pirate.

21. A song for when the sun has gone down and you are feeling absolutely buck-wild with exhilaration!

Augen Auf - Oomph!

I have so many songs that work for this. This is normally when I listen to music so I have many Manic Energy Songs. 

22. A song that makes you feel like you’re strolling through Ancient Greece living your best life

Very specific indeed, but perhaps Antvmnos - Eluveite ?

Tell me it wouldn’t be perfect to stroll a Greek shoreline with.

23. A song that when you listen to it you’re transported to a liminal space, time is pointless and you must sit and wallow in the void that remains

Black Car - Beach House

I listen to this song and my mind is instantly somewhere indescribable and unknowable and all I can do is listen, relax, and go through it. It’s very pleasant to me.

24. A song to listen to on a long drive when you have the really strong urge to keep driving until you find somewhere to start a new life (preferably a europian city whose language you don’t speak)

Perhaps not that exactly, but a song that makes me want to be a weary traveler seeing sights most can only dream of is Far Horizons - Jeremy Soule

BRUJAS WORLD SYNDICATE

BRUJAS WORLD SYNDICATE Join Us. BRUJAS WORLD SYNDICATE is an experimental union for cultural producers. Since BRUJAS was established in 2014, we’ve been building a political program influenced by sobering experiences of reality and our wildest dreams. Three guiding principles we’ve built up, don’t sell out, don’t snitch, and together we build our own survival networks. We are starting by providing efficient access to all of our best tools. Our first ever public facing membership program is designed to build a collaboration with y’all in the defense and change of the world as we know it. In order to grow our public offerings and free programs, we need to both distinguish and defend what we do as bigger than streetwear. We’re only making as many hoodies as there are BRUJAS. Only the BRUJAS WORLD SYNDICATE will have access to ordering BRUJAS through our catalogue, making it more of a militant, sustainable style and allowing us to continue manufacturing in the USA. To be a card carrying member of BRUJAS means you’re WITH US.   This membership model gives you exclusive access to our ready-to-wear catalog, syllabus, monthly podcast, and a bi-annual publication. We are leaving the push for growth model behind and building more meaning into what BRUJAS means together. Defend, Build Power, then Win.

FUCK A BRAND PARTNERSHIP - Call BRUJAS WORLD to schedule consultations today Who accepts more work as payment for work? Obviously we don’t accept exposure in exchange for our time or image, but it’s deeper than that. Exposure is code for extraction, compounded exponentially to the benefit of Empire. Exposure works against our interests, allowing us to get robbed and stolen from again and again by marketers and structures built on slave generated capital. Even if you are paid upfront, have a royalty clause, even if you are a partial owner, the truth remains that in order to win, WE, BRUJAS, demand 100% so that nothing remains for them to continue to destroy us and our planet with. We, the workers, produce the value. They need us, and we will never need them. BRUJAS WORLD SYNDICATE is a network that will prove this. When you are looking at a deal you are about to take, don’t hesitate to give us a call, don’t hesitate to say no. First we will really expose what these deals do, then we will ask for more, then, we will expropriate everything. DON’T SNITCH DON’T TELL Mob means: we look out for each other. Mob means: we don’t talk to cops and we don’t act like cops. Mob means: trust, but mob also means: we’ll take out anyone who fucks with our family. You’re family now. The more of us who are unified against the powers that be, the safer we ALL are. Imagine a world where the cops are scared of *us* and don’t EVEN TRY to come into our hoods for fear of having rocks thrown at them and getting surrounded from all sides? What a dream.

This here is the boys and girls club that wants you to DOWNLOAD SIGNAL, DELETE YOUR GRAM, and NEVER TALK TO THE OPS. You with it?  

OUR CURRENCY 

Now that it’s clear that we don’t talk to feds, let’s talk about the federal system of value. In our experience, infighting occurs most when there’s an illusion of scarcity that comes from applying external measures of value onto our worth. However, we know that we cannot use Empire’s tools to quantify the love and care that goes into somebody’s work. Instead, we look to one another for value. We use mutual aid and communities of care to keep one another alive. We can not be bought or sold because we are the currency. We do not wade in the oceans of material prosperity because we raise the tides that shift culture. Shout out to all BRUJAS that have ever made shit happen. Join the Syndicate, make knowledge power again.

The streets are no longer safe. Ladies, when you consider a handbag don't just buy for the looks. Consider instead: how hard can you hit with it when an attacker wants your bag. Hand Bag Self Defense Imagine. You are walking down a nice shopping street. Suddenly there is a flash mob robbing stores. No police anywhere to see. I guess we are in San Francisco or Portland, Oregon. One of the masked crazies runs at you and shouts: "Give me that bag, you ..." (censored: the word hidden is an itch for the decent and starts with a b ).     Finally you can apply what you have learned in self-defense class: You take a swing and hit the attacker on the head with your bag his tooth fillings fly out sideways. And if you have purchased the special edition handbag, the one with retractable spikes and the bullet proof metal that attacker will have to take a long time to get up again - if he ever will. Just to be sure: it also works beautifully against female attackers and will do more damage than just disturbing their bad makeup and meth head hairdo. Fashion Photography without Dictators It's become a new fad to picture dictators with fashion like in the most recent Vogue shoot with the Ukrainian strong man Zelinski who ended the democracy in Ukraine in 2014 with a power grab. We are trying to be more ethical and make sure the right people get hurt. We want the robbers and attackers, the bullies and scumbags to be hurt.     Self-defense by Weaponized Handbag Which is why we urge you to buy the right kind of bag. And what about us, say the men? Well, have you ever heard of a knuckleduster? Which, by the way, fits nicely in the best combat handbags we tested. Instead of a makeup compartment they feature a knuckleduster compartment, a pepper spray slot and, for the really lawless cities like San Francisco, Portland and New York, a gun holster. Just in case the hyped nutcases come by more than one. Fashion designer Desmond Destruct of the new combat handbag brand Crusher said he is working on a version that can release tear gas, pepper spray and some more serious gas should the war conditions in our cities further deteriorate to full blown civil war. Well, I guess that's what you have to do if certain types want to defund the police. You have to fund your own assortment of self-defense means.
