Tonight we're (re-) watching the grim (neo-) #western / #thriller #TheThicket, which is based on a story by Joe R. #Lansdale. I really liked the #film the first time around – the author is brilliant! I think it fits very well with the modern classics #HellorHighWater and #WindRiver. #movies #filmsky

#TheThicket is based on a book by #Lansdale! I am unarmed. You think I care? I don't know the original, but there are #films where you know after a few moments that you're going to like them. This looks like one of those. I like #neo #westerns like #WindRiver, etc. #Movie #filmsky #Western

米ヤフーニュースの記事によると、ペンシルベニア州モントゴメリー郡ランスデールで、ピックアップトラックと貨物列車が衝突し、線路が塞がれる事故が発生しました。ランスデール警察署長のマイケル・トレイル氏が火曜日の朝、メディアに最新情報を提供しました。警察によると、トラックが赤信号と踏切を高速で通過したことが原因とされています。 #Lansdale

Latest read, The Pit (1987) and Not From Detroit (1988) by Joe R. Lansdale, from High Cotton.
In The Pit, a small town imprisons lost travelers and forces them into gruesome death matches, much the way dogs are forced to fight.
In Not From Detroit, an elderly man fights Death itself to keep it from taking his wife of 50 years.
'Natural storyteller' comes to mind with Lansdale--and that's a rare gift.
