I watched a movie a couple nights ago, but I forgot what it was called and what it was about. I also forgot who was in it. I think it was good and I recommend it. Watch it if you get the chance... I've seen that movie. I agree. |

I've seen that movie. I agree. I’m waiting for the book to come out. Oh, it’s out. I read it. I didn’t think it was as good as the movie because there were no pictures... Then again, I don’t remember if the movie had any dialogue either...Or was it a slide show that had a pamphlet. I know I loved it, though... |

ALERT--BREAKING REVIEW NEWS:
Last night, Tequila & I watched a GREAT Movie: 'Da 5 Bloods' = Simply amazing = As good if not better than recent hits like The 'Irishman & Once Upon A time In Hollywood'...
No doubt it will get many Oscar Nods--MAYBE, best Picture, etc.
Thank GOD for Netflix...
When you are in LOCK DOWN = No Gals, No Drugs, Nobody Visits, a CRAZY Talking Parrot, etc = NETFLIX Relieves STRESS.
'DA 5 BLOODS' was so damn good = will watch it again.

We have a movie thread guys! Completely forgetting about this thread makes me question my memory. I forgot to pay two bills last month, too. Thinking about some films that I really love. "Sideways" is one of them. It is somewhat because I lived near the central coast of California, and Sarah and I visited many of the places highlighted in the film, but mostly the movie is charming, absolutely hilarious in parts, and poignantly heartbreaking and affirming. Another film from around 1987 that affected me similarly was "Broadcast News" for evoking those same feelings. If you haven't seen either one of these, I recommend them. |

I have so many TV shows to watch too:
Peaky Blinders Ozark Succession
Boba Fett Justified
I hear you on the memory. I have .txt files where I have reminders and bills and such. I write everything down on the computer or I'd forget important stuff too.

Justified is one of my all-time favorites. I never tire of it. The dialogue and the acting are superb. Raylan Givens is a singular character. Elmore Leonard was the real deal. |

I still get paper bills. When they come in, I open them right away. Then I write the amount and due date on front of the envelope and I keep them standing upright (and in order of due date) behind the left side of the keyboard. No forgetting allowed! One thing that’s odd. Most of my money transfers only take a day, but my municipal water bill here in Pueblo West takes six days to transfer from my bank, which is also right in town. And my car payment takes like three days. So I always have to make sure I do those early… |

Justified is one of my all-time favorites. I never tire of it. The dialogue and the acting are superb. Raylan Givens is a singular character. Elmore Leonard was the real deal. I have to lookup Elmore Leonard. I'm on season 3 of Justified. I love Timothy Olyphant and Walter Goggins. |

I don’t know why he’s not more famous. He’s one of America’s greatest novelists. |

Adaptations
Twenty-six of Leonard's novels and short stories have been adapted for the screen (19 as motion pictures and another seven as television programs).
Film
Aside from the short stories already noted, a number of Leonard's novels have been adapted as films, including Get Shorty (1990 novel, 1995 film), Out of Sight (1996 novel, 1998 film), and Rum Punch (1992 novel, 1997 film Jackie Brown). The novel 52 Pick-Up was first adapted very loosely into the 1984 film The Ambassador (1984), starring Robert Mitchum and, two years later, under its original title starring Roy Scheider. Leonard has also written several screenplays based on his novels, plus original screenplays such as Joe Kidd (1972).
The film Hombre (1967), starring Paul Newman, was an adaptation of Leonard's 1961 novel of the same name.
His short story "Three-Ten to Yuma" (March 1953) and novels The Big Bounce (1969) and 52 Pick-Up have each been filmed twice.
Other novels filmed include:
3:10 to Yuma (1957 film) (with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin)
Hombre (with Paul Newman)

Quentin Tarantino has optioned the right to adapt Leonard's novel Forty Lashes Less One (1972).[38]
Television
In 1992, Leonard played himself in a script he wrote and, with actor Paul Lazar dramatizing a scene from the novel Swag, appeared in a humorous television short about his writing process which aired on the Byline Showtime series on Showtime Networks.
The 2010–15 FX series Justified was based around the popular Leonard character U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, from the novels Pronto, Riding the Rap, the eponymous Raylan, and the short story "Fire in the Hole".
The short-lived 1998 TV series Maximum Bob was based on Leonard's 1991 novel of the same name. It aired on ABC for seven episodes and starred Beau Bridges.
The TV series Karen Sisco (2003–04) starring Carla Gugino was based on the U.S. Marshall character from the film Out of Sight (1998) played by Jennifer Lopez.
The 2017 Epix series Get Shorty is based on the novel of the same.[39]

Hombre is an underrated film. Jackie Brown is a classic movie. |
