RIP Larry McMurtry

[Tskware]

Wrote Lonesome Dove and Terms of Endearment

OT: His son James, is a singer and songwriter who wrote "Levelland", covered by Robert Earl Keen, Jr. and is one of his best songs ever recorded, although McMurtry's version is good as well

Lonesome Dove is the best thing I've ever seen on TV in my 44 years of life on this planet. The sequels and prequel were pretty damn good too. I agree, the guy could write. His character development and storylines are second to none. I hate to hear of his passing.

I feel bad for his three sons. RIP

Ah, shoot. I always get those two mixed up. RIP nonetheless.

How utterly tragic. Please stop this insanity, 2021.

Fare thee well, sweet prince.

Great, great show. And Diane Lane, Lord Almighty. sheer perfection.

Now back to making fun of someone passing.

He had an attractive wife but I am guessing that she didn't get much action from him.

Lonesome Dove is my favorite book, read it twice and seem the movie over a dozen times.

It’s because Diane Lane was in it.*

* I know DL has already been mentioned, but Catpaw bylaws clearly state that a pic MUST accompany any reference to Ms. Lane. It’s science, people. YWIA.

No Cormac McCarthty? I really liked Hemingway when I first read his books in HS or college, might pick one up someday soon to see if I still feel the same way.

[wyomingcat]

My favorite author, he was very good writer

 

[entropy13]

May you forever rain those 3s down from up in heaven, big guy.

 

[Kooky Kats]

His father, Arthur Digby Sellers (who currently has health problems) wrote the best episodes of the TV series, “Branded”.

He has learned the hard way that this is what happens by being a little **** and effing strangers in the ***.

I love The Wire. RIP

I still can't believe they killed Wallace off like that. RIP Wallace, too.

Lonesome Dove is the best book I have ever read. Even the mini-series, which is excellent, doesn't touch it.
