Glengarry Glen Ross (film)
Glengarry Glen Ross is a 1992 American drama, adapted by David Mamet from his 1984 Pulitzer Prize- and Tony-winning play of the same name, and directed by James Foley. The film is set in either New York City or Chicago, and filmed in New York City. It depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen and how they become desperate when the corporate office sends a trainer to "motivate" them by announcing that, in one week, all except the top two salesmen will be fired. The film, like the play, is notorious for its use of profanity, leading the cast to jokingly refer to the film as "Death of a Fuckin' Salesman." The title of the film comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.
The world premiere of the film was held at the 49th Venice Film Festival, where Jack Lemmon, one of the film's stars, was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. The film was a commercial failure, making only US $10.7 million in North America, just below its $12.5 million budget. Al Pacino was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his work in the film.
Coffee's For Closers
I can't explain a thing
I want everything to change and stay the same
Outside doesn't care about anyone and anything
Now come together, come apart
Only get louder when you read the charts
And oh baby, when they made me, they broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around, then I got cold
Fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Well, change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We will never believe again
Kick drum beat in my chest again, no
We will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand, no
I'm the mascot for what you've become
Our love for mayhem more than the love
And oh baby, when they made me, they broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around, then I got cold
Fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Well, change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We will never believe again
Kick drum beat in my chest again, no
We will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand, no
Fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
Fly your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh, oh, oh, change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We will never believe again
Kick drum beat in my chest again, no
We will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand, no
We will never believe again
(I will never believe in anything again)
Kick drum beat in my chest again, no
We will never believe again
(I will never believe in anything again)
Preach electric to a microphone stand, no
We will never believe again
