This man is easily of the most talented and gifted writers of our time. A true literary genius!!! Lonesome Dove is one of the greatest novels ever written.

Amazing how McMurtry would do what appeared to be fan service on the surface level by doing sequels to his most famous works, but then completely change up the characters and themes in the followups. He revived America's love with the stoic American Cowboy Epic in Lonesome Dove, and then completely deconstructed him and exposed McCall as a pathetic sad coward in Letters to Laredo. Last Picture Show about dour isolation and this foreboding sense of doom in Sonny, the the followup Texasville was lighthearted and slapstick. Sonny was the starry eyed protagonist in Last Picture Show, while Duane was the goofy lunkhead. Then in the follow up books Duane became the nuanced and strangely profound central character, and Sonny was broken and pathetic side note character.

6:17 could not contain my laughter-even funnier out of context

It certainly shows why Rose lost his job for harassment. What a nasty, redneck mind. So glad someone took a stand. Rose just can’t comprehend a woman for anything but a sexual object. Glad he’s gone.

Rose needs to shut up and let his interviewees speak!

[@janepatton2907]

As I said, his sexism toward women mirrors his feeling of Superiority to everyone. Glad he’s hi one

You're glad he's gone? I heard the scandal and was so sad to hear it. His show was so good. I wish somebody else could do something similar late night. Serious talk, no laugh track, no stupid studio audience, no crappy audio studio music performance, just straight information about important people from those people. @@janepatton2907

Whatever happened to the screenplay and film? I don't even remember the book coming out in the mid 90's much less the movie. Seems like if they were already mentioning Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio playing him it would have been a big production.
