"Now that you've read the last one, I don't think the others will 'amaze' you. I repeat, to me they’re all the same; even if some have better jokes, they might have a 'bad guy' that's built a bit worse. My favorite is Two Bears Mambo because there isn't a page where they don't make fun of someone, and especially there's something that never happens in the others (of course I won't tell you because where's the fun in that?). It seems obvious that the style is always the same, but as you say, there will be differences in the quality of the story, the villain, the jokes, and the descriptions. I’ll look for those differences at my leisure. Anyway, great comments."

Beautiful cover. Next week I'm going to the dentist.

I absolutely loved it. Books that you can devour in a flash, that entertain you and even make you smile several times while flipping through... bring them on. There are some passages that I underlined because I liked the description so much, and I'm sure that sooner or later I'll feel the need to read it again. I simply expected more from the rather bleak, predictable, and overly simplistic story (I realized right away that the blonde girl was dangerous) and it doesn't start with a brilliant spark. More than Vanilla Ride (which you are right to say seems taken from a video game), I liked the character of Tardo more; well-built. As for the Texas storyline, to be honest, it’s mentioned almost in passing. A bit of hope, a joke, a song, a photographic description of ever-changing skies. Here, more than anything else, guns are smoking, curses are flying, and coffee and Dr. Peppers are ingested in abundance. I would call it a modern western! I think I’ll go back and read the previous ones because I have the impression, though unsupported by anything, that the best is further back. Whether it's on the decline, whether it has run out of steam even though it’s well written.

Started last night and finished just now "Under a Crimson Sky" by Lansdale. You're right, Bartle writes really well: the reading is almost satisfying. Fiery rhythms, excellent use of slang, and an ocean of swear words, sometimes excessive and pointless. However, the plot limps along, seeming contrived to highlight the characters. Hap and Leonard. They are tough, yet sensitive. Indestructible, cool, and equipped with a total dark sense of humor that almost becomes overwhelming in the end and they never lose it, not even in front of a loaded magazine. Thinking back, they remind me of the twins of Dirk Pitt from Clive Cussler that I was reading a dozen years ago. Only it's written better.

F and V are neighbors on the keyboards....I think it's wrong. Enjoy the broadcast.

What for you was one of the reasons that pushed you to go to the cinema, for me is one of the most obscene scenes of the saga.

It could be NES. There’s a truly sublime citationism in a couple of scenes (the dance among the bullets, the dream, and the arrival on the beach) in "Apocalypse Now," and as a result, your thesis about the attempt to depict a war and its tearing effects can gain strength. Maybe I saw something that wasn’t actually there, but I still stand by my opinion. The beauty of stimulating and well-crafted cinema like this is that it encourages and pushes you to find interpretations that can explain the structure of the film.
