Caught THE LINEUP on TCM a while back when Ellroy hosted some of his fave films. A pretty standard cops & robbers set-up that's bolstered big-time by the performances of Eli Wllach as the psycho gunman after a doll full of H and Robert Keith as his equally psycho but in a more mannered fashion handler.

I'm having a poll on my LJ on what story I should revise next. Included are a few noir/horror stories, including a mad cap tale of a Latvian bodyguard in the Russian mafia. Would be great if the folks of the Big Adios could go and represent the noir side of the street.

I see it's based off of Edward Bunker's novel. Has anyone read any of his work? I sure dug the movie, and want to read the novel.

Got a question for the writers, but also any reviewers and anybody else out there. I've been lurking in the shadows of the board, darting out now and again, but mostly I've gotten so many cool book recommendations here my wallet is whimpering.

Had a ball at the Ellroy reading last night at the Tattered Cover Bookstore. First time at the store (it's in a very shady part of town) and got to meet Stuart Neville beforehand and get my copy of GHOSTS OF BELFAST signed by him.
