NP - Blood Meridian

[Charles Albert]

I thought we talked about some rumor that Ridley Scott had picked up the
rights a few years ago...

Don't see why you couldn't make a remarkable movie of it, but it would be

Has anyone read The Getaway?
If you wanna see the industry avert it's eyes to give you the ending you
have the strength to handle....


love,

cfa
