Title: Hap and Leonard — Joining the adventure is Hap's unlikely buddy Leonard Pine, an openly gay black Vietnam War vet with a bad temper and little use for Trudy's feminine wiles. Soon enough the simple get-rich-quick scheme snowballs into bloody mayhem. My spoilers are super minor, nothing that will jeopardize your viewing pleasure. This show keeps getting better and better. I have just finished watching the 4th episode and there is something so quirky about it. It is supposed to take place in the 80's thereabouts and centers around crime - trying to locate stolen money and dealing with the results. It is set in Texas with the 2 main characters wearing cowboy boots and hats, giving it a westernish vibe. But then you throw in Hap and Leonard spandex wearing, spike-haired, blue eye-shadowed, 80's murderous Hap and Leonard and the show becomes a little more off kiltered, but in an entirely good way. The violence reminds me of this combo as well. It is extreme and bloody but done with flair and frivolity. There are some excellent and well-known actors in the show: James Purefoy, Michael Kenneth Williams, and the ever lovely Christina Hendricks. Michael and James have really good chemistry together and It is completely believable that they have been best of friends since childhood. I do have to say, though, that Enrique Hap and Leonard acting was cringe worthy an ex-lover to Leonard Michael's character. It was so over the top. But I have to wonder if the director wanted it to look like that because otherwise one would think that he would have redone the scenes. Fortunately Enrique's role is very minor. I am rating Hap and Leonard a 8 because Hap and Leonard how entertaining, quirky, and amusing it is. The show is not up there with such monumental TV like Breaking Bad or The Wire, but I am surprised that more Hap and Leonard aren't watching this and proclaiming its superb entertainment value. Shows like this and Fargo demonstrate that TV can be even more than good writing and acting, they can be art. Looking for some great streaming picks?

Lansdale : The Big Blow before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Big Blow: 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lansdale at his best, which is as good as it getsBy Timothy HallinanJoe R. Lansdale is the writer I want most to meet. He has every tool a skillful writer needs, but more importantly, he has the talent that makes a great writer -- the ability to see inside people and present them, whole and breathing (often, in this book, panting) on the page. From its hilarious, unquotable first line through the greatest depiction of a hurricane I've ever read, this is Lansdale at his best, which it to say on a par with the very best living American writers. I haven't even mentioned that he can write practically anything, from "serious" novels to "Bubba Ho- tep" and everything in between (including sci-fi, horror, and westerns) with total conviction and great flair. Try "Paradise Sky" if you like westerns or the Hap and Leonard books if you like thrillers, or "Edge of Dark Water" if you'd like a modern take on "Huckleberry Finn." But if you're not reading Lansdale, you're cheating yourself. (And the way he writes the storm in this book is on a par with the great James Lee Burk in "The Tin Roof Blowdown."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

    Praise for Hap and Leonard: Blood and Lemonade “Blood and Lemonade is the best of Lansdale and the best of Hap and Leonard. As urgent as it is timeless. As fun as it is thoughtful. It haunts you while it kicks your ass. Joe never lets you down, just shows you over and over why he’s the best.” —Jim Mickle, director of Cold in July “A brilliant ‘mosaic’ novel. An amazingly vivid style that feels like Hemingway. Themes that are especially important for our time. With these early adventures of his compelling Hap and Leonard characters, Joe R. Lansdale hits a new high.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art “Magnificent storytelling.” —Char’s Horror Corner “Joe Lansdale is our East Texas Hemingway, and here’s another example of what makes him great. In Hap & Leonard: Blood and Lemonade, he carves out beauty with plain words and direct sentences. Some of the stories in this mosaic novel are horrifying, others gritty, sad, thrilling, and funny, but all of them are beautiful. I ate it up.” —Daryl Gregory, author of Spoonbenders and We Are All Completely Fine HapAndLeonardBloodAndLemonade.indb 1 1/20/2017 1:10:50 PM Praise for Hap and Leonard “Seven laid-back adventures, one of them brand new, for “freelance troubleshooter” and good old boy Hap Collins and his gay black Republican partner Leonard Pine. No one currently working the field demonstrates more convincingly and joyously the deep affinity between pulp fiction and the American tall tale.” —Kirkus «“Last seen in the novel Honky Tonk Samurai, Lansdale’s incomparable East Texas crime fighting duo show their chops in this remarkable story collection.
  • L'ultima Caccia

    L'ultima Caccia

    Joe R. Lansdale L’ultima caccia Traduzione di Seba Pezzani L’ultima caccia Parte prima I. Accadde nell’estate del 1933 tra le paludi del fiume Sabine, nel Texas orientale. Quelli che ancora se lo ricordano, lo chiamano l’anno del Cinghiale del Demonio. Fu anche il periodo in cui Richard Harold Dale diventò uomo all’età poi non cosí matura di quindici anni. So quello che dico perché probabilmente quell’anno e il Cinghiale del Demonio me li ricordo meglio di chiunque altro. E ne ho ben donde. Sono io Richard Harold Dale e ne porto tuttora le cicatrici. Erano tempi duri quelli. Davvero duri. La Depressione infuriava e sopravvivere non era molto facile. Immagino che, sotto molti punti di vista, a noi gente della campagna e delle paludi andasse meglio rispetto ai fighetti di città. Eravamo sempre stati poveri, e quando le cose si fecero difficili non ce ne accorgemmo quanto quelli che avevano lavori stabili e li persero. La nostra famiglia viveva dei prodotti della terra, come era sempre stato, coltivando ciò che mangiava e vendendo l’eccedenza. Negli anni Trenta era proprio l’eccedenza il nostro problema. Non si riusciva a realizzare granché. La gente era davvero rimasta senza soldi. Ovviamente, il ’33 non fu un anno tanto buono nemmeno per il nostro raccolto. Quello che non era stato rovinato dal gran caldo, se lo mangiarono le cimici. Fu come se tra le varie razze di insetti in ogni angolo della terra si fosse sparsa la voce che nei nostri campi si offriva un bel pasto gratuito a tutti: dovevano solo venire fin qui, portarsi appresso un amico, prendersi una breve vacanza, e mettere in pancia qualunque cosa riuscissero a mangiare.
