I adore Woodrell. Love his work so much.
Gift article of the NYT Woodrell obit: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o...
In the early 2010s, Esquire described him as “one of American literature’s best-kept secrets,” and The New York Times said that he “writes about violence and dark deeds better than almost anyone in America today.”

I keep seeing posts on the passing of Daniel Woodrell, but I see no mention of it in searches.
If so, RIP, genius. Loved WINTER'S BONE; TOMATO RED; THE OUTLAW ALBUM; BAYOU TRILOGY; GIVE US A KISS.

Some ppl already talking about favorite neo noir Christmas movies
Sure, I LOVE 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.' Love 'Bad Santa,' but I don't consider it in the same vein. It's more a black comedy movie to me.
My fav is this one, based on the excellent Scott Phillips novel. Everyone involved is wonderful

I have 0 love for Charlotte but currently live here. ICE arrested 100 people, "Operation Charlotte's Web," HOW LAME. Anyhow, they're still here
They arrested 1 guy w a REAL ID & he's a citizen. Smashed his window & dragged him out. They invaded a Home Depot, a grocery store lot. FUCK ICE!

Rewatched a favorite tonight. It never gets old, Barbara Stanwyck is lights out every time I watch it. One of the greatest villains in classic film noir.

Me, Laurel, Brian, and Mary played the Newlywed Game on Brian's podcast last week, it was a lot of fun.
Reminiscent of 1970s gameshows. You know, when they drank, smoked, cussed, etc, on air which were the best of all gameshows.

Hijinks ensue, chaos reigns, and things go terribly awry when Brian Keene and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social face off against @laurelhightower.bsky.social and @frank212.bsky.social in a Keeneversations version of The Newlywed Game! Which couple knows each other better?

Happy birthday to the one-of-a-kind, Kurt Vonnegut
Also, Veterans Day, added a photo of Kurt from WW2. His experiences as a POW, having witnessed the bombing of Dresden, inspired nearly everything he wrote
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be"

Rewatching THE GREAT OUTDOORS because I love John Candy & it's a classic and hilarious.
The movie came out in 1988, & I've been singing the damn raccoon song from the movie to myself for the last 36 years. Why? I dunno, I'm not right in the head. "Ba ba ba boom. Ba ba ba boom."

Happy Birthday to the singular Sam Shepard. I consider the man's writing HOLY. He holds a special place on my shelves.
“I’ve heard writers talk about “discovering a voice,” but for me that wasn’t a problem. There were so many voices that I didn’t know where to start.”

Mamdani's win is NOT the rise of communism. It's Democratic socialism. Something we lived under from FDR up until GW jr. The rich still rich, but the working class lived a decent life too. My grandpa, a janitor, could afford a decent home, feed his kids
