How 'bout Lone Star ?
[FYI, double checking the title on IMDB, there are five separate guys listed as aka Lonestar. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Dread Cowboy Lonestar.]
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The Coen Brothers' Blood Simple could surely be thought of as Texas noir.

happy now?
Because I crushed your spirit? Yes. But only because it's the noir thing to do.
Now go Netflix Detour. And make sure you get the original from the 40s.

Kinda like fish in a barrell, wasn't it? I wouldn't go feeling like a heavy or anything, Hec. It was at least dented before you got here.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Bit of DETOUR trivia: the lead actor, Tom Neal, later went to prison for 10 years for the "involuntary manslaughter" - interesting term for a .45 slug to the back of the head - of his wife. [link]

Question--is there any way to put together a list of authors and be notified when they have a new book out/coming out? Amazon suprisingly doesn't seem to be able to do this (or maybe I'm just a moron who can't get to the right help file). You'd think it would be easy enough, but...
