I love NO WAY OUT I also love that this man is Chris D. of the 80s punk band The Flesh Eaters (still going strong), one of the stars of BORDER RADIO (populated w/other LA musicians), a scholar of Japanese cinema and the author of many pulp novels (MOTHER'S WORRY is my favorite) https://t.co/eLSWxAKT9s https://t.co/PDt85Vynbd

It's easy for writers to have their characters discuss classics, but I love it when characters in books have thoughts on the trash culture of their very moment... like in Barry Gifford's NIGHT PEOPLE they go out to see SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO and talk about it for a bit. https://t.co/9bgQI3WTYM

CHOPPER, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD and BLONDE really are of a piece... just imagining Pitt or de Armas reciting Bana's "I must be a bloody disappointment" speech in their respective roles and it fits seamlessly https://t.co/aFWhYGQEGh

@pattonoswalt @criterionchannl I first saw WOLFEN right after reading MONGRELS by Stephen Graham Jones and man did those blow my mind back to back. Loved hearing @SGJ72 talk about WOLFEN https://t.co/3xF97vFiSf

Went blind to see BREAKING and was completely caught off guard by seeing Michael K. Williams on the big screen one more time. I got a little emotional https://t.co/AvM9lbm05F
