Acoustic noir? They certainly don't play that on my new-oldies station.
will there be cheerleaders?
Cheerleaders is a great idea.
i gut a million of 'em. just leave the ol' ladies at home and let me handle everything. it'll be the most un-dull writers assembly in history. It'll be the Hollister of writers gathering. They'll make a movie out of it six years later. "'The Boring Ones.' writers take over an empty field in Texas for a multi booksigning and summon the Antichrist. Who shows up. And does their bidding. The writer/hidden monster duality is made manifest on earth and wreckage and womens' clothing are strewn across the globe in a fest of carnality unprecedented. Two days later the writers stroll off the grounds, dusting their hands and brushing their clothes and head off to start a new planet for themselves. Marlon Brando wanted the lead so much he came back from the grave. More astoundingly, he lost weight for the Crider part."
Can we get Chuck Norris for the Joe Lansdale role?
Chuck Norris is too good lookin'. And kinda uppitty.
i think your version is a little too far fetched. more likely itll be "the boring ones: writers gather at a semicircle of tables and sleep and dream the preceeding scenario. then wake up and go home."
Also, Chuck is too young.
Never heard of any of them.
Kasey Lansdale is probably worth the visit. Too bad nobody else good is there. Does she have kung-fu mojo like her less famous father?
Indeed she does.
