Jackie Brown is one great film. Sure wish Tarentino would use crime novels

[zonkers]

as source material more often. It suits him. I like his uncoventional films but not as much.

1. Yeah, that was a good movie.

Saw it for the first time a few months ago.

:thumbsup:

[speedoo]

2. I don't know if it's possible to make a bad movie from...

an Elmore Leonard novel.

Elmore's the best.

3. You can't go wrong using an Elmore Leonard Novel as a

jumping off point...

He is one good writer...

One of my favorite books by him is Get Shorty and another one is Maximum Bob....

[speedoo]

4. I think I've read almost everything he's written.

Cuba Libre is one of my favorites, but they are all great.

5. Even the Westerns....

I liked Touch...

I listened to Get Shorty on tape with Joe Montagna reading it...

It was great...

[speedoo]

6. Did you read John D. MacDonald?

His Travis McGee series was excellent.

Not as good as Elmore, but very good.

RIP, John.

10. I'm not a big detective genre type although I will pick one

up now and then...

Leonard just struck me as a god writer no matter which genre he choose to work in...

7. It's been a while since I've seen it

I loved Samuel L. Jackson's gun salesman pitch he was giving to DeNiro while watching the video.

Quotes like "they need to show more bad guys in the movies using that gun because it's a better gun, but everybody wants to buy the same guns as the bad guys in the movies", something like that and "AK-47, when you absolutely, positively have to kill every mother@#!*&er in the room"

8. Another great Ordelle line. In the scene before he kills Beaumont....

"Look, I hate to be the kinda nigga does a nigga a favor, then, BAM!, hits a nigga up for a favor in return. But I'm afraid I gotta be that kinda nigga."
