Speaking of hard-boiled westerns, supposedly in production is
Quention Tarantino's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's FORTY
LASHES LESS ONE, one of his westerns. It's about two cons cut
loose from prison to track down some even worse guys.
As for Puffy, if he really did pull a gun, let 'im rot in
prison for a few years. I can wait a few years for a KING
SUCKERMAN movie, if it means one less asshole out on the real
streets with a real gun. Seems like a fair exchange.
And has anyone heard anymore about Singleton's remake of
SHAFT, starring Samuel Jackson? I dunno, I hear about all
these intriguing film projects, but half the time, they just
seem to fade away....
(Notice the spiffy, easy-to-read use of both upper and lower
cases?)
