If Roberts hadn't been so convincing in that role it would've made him a huge star. He was too good for his own good!

Part of me just *knows* I'm going to end up hate-watching that CBGB movie. I weep for future me.

Solid horror anthologies. "The Old Man and the Dead" by a guy named Mort Castle, with a Hemingway-esque character confronting the living dead in Spain during wartime, is brilliant, and beats all the literary mash-ups by a good decade. And Poppy Z. Brite's "Calcutta, Lord of Nerves" is one of the great modern horror…

Looks like a note-for-note retelling of Altman's CALIFORNIA SPLIT! Ben Mendelsohn is the George Segal character while Ryan Reynolds is Elliott Gould. I'm kinda ok with that.

I can't be the only person who doesn't know this song, never even *heard* of it. Be grateful for the little things, I guess.

I admit I didn't really read the article, I just take any chance I can to talk about THE LONG GOODBYE.

I read a bunch of the Hap and Leonard novels way back when they were being published in the late '80s/early '90s and loved 'em, so it's gratifying to see this show happen. As for casting, Bill Paxton has always seemed to me as the perfect actor for any Lansdale adaptation. And if you want an idea of what's in store…

I found baseball's Jim Bouton as Terry Lennox in Altman's THE LONG GOODBYE to be particularly enjoyable, especially his easy banter with old pal Marlowe as played by Elliot Gould. Sure the plot depends on him escaping to Mexico, but I sure wish he'd been in the movie more.

Last. Exit. To. Brooklyn. 'Nuff. Said.

That's not Don La Fontaine in the trailer, it's Percy Rodriquez.

Kastel did that infamous and iconic artwork for the Bantam paperback, published in early 1975. I don't know of any other instance in which a book cover was also later used for the movie poster.

Man that's a good record. "The Only One," "Whatever Happened to True Love," "Giving It All Up for Love," "Hope You Love Me" and yes, "Do You Believe In Love," just a great, great bit of '80s pop.

Last couple months I've been listening to the first two Huey Lewis and the News records, and I am astonished at how much I enjoy them. I think it was when the Pandora station my job played had tons of Huey on it and rather than growing tired of the songs, I was like, "All right, another Huey Lewis and the News song!"…

"Arguably"?

"You move as slowly as a Mississippi detective investigating the murder of a young black male."

Yes! Watched ROAD GAMES a few years back and was totally impressed. I was going thru a Stacy Keach mini marathon (THE NINTH CONFIGURATION, FAT CITY, rewatched some Mike Hammers) which is why I watched this.

Funny things also happened in the past? Huh, I had no idea.

Watched this a few years back and found it to be one of the most solidly entertaining and well-crafted suspense thrillers I've seen in some time. And the Alexandre Desplat score is marvelous as well.

Really?! I'd never heard that! Altho' I did quite like the Sharon Tate lookalike who played that agent instead.
