Great idea, BG. It’s a shame Portis is not more well known!

I can’t believe that y’all haven’t mentioned the likeness of Hulgas and Madonnas Bullet Brassieres! Although, Hulga IS carrying hers higher…

Hah! I have interviewed Portis, and he was great fun. I’ll never understand why nobody has managed to turn “Dog of the South” into a very fine movie, though if anybody could do it, it’s the Coens.

much the same. I felt it did justice to the humor of the original better than the 1969 version. “I am struck that LaBoeuf is shot, trampled, and nearly severs his tongue, and not only does not cease to talk, but spills the banks of English!”

I loved it. I thought it had more damned fun with my mother tongue than anything I’ve seen in years. I wish they had kept the original Portis closing sentence, which was lovely, but I’m sure they had their reasons. It was worth ten times the ticket price just seeing Jeff Bridges say, “Well, that did not pan out.” What did you think of it?

I’m guessing you may be a Charles Portis fan as well, jclimacus?
