For those relatively new to the board, these were thrown together by member Dejo maybe 10-12 years ago when John Cusack and Edward Burns were young enough for the part. A fun 30-sec each.

This is being offered on eBay UK (link above). AFAIK there was never a DVD published so I am assuming that this is a burned VHS. The picture quality alone must be awful, never mind the content.

Comments anyone?

Hello, it's dejo, long-lost member. I've wanted to post a picture of this neighborhood entrance sign for a while now but didn't get a chance to take a decent picture of it until recently. This is south of Sedalia, CO on the CO-105 (a.k.a. Perry Park Rd).



Has anyone else encountered a location that is totally out of context but still reminds them of F. Paul Wilson and/or one of his works?

I just finished watching the first season of "Bosch" on Amazon Prime Instant Video -- I came away from that series thinking that it was the perfect template for exactly how Repairman Jack should be brought to the screen.

Forget feature films -- RJ needs to be a television series just like Bosch.

Rather than solve a crime every episode, like most TV police procedurals, with Bosch, they combined two of Connelly's novels into a storyline that threads its way through the season's ten episodes. So you have the main character working on two cases that might be related, deftly woven among subplots involving his girlfriend, his daughter, politics inside the police department, and the city's mayoral campaign. So there's a richness and depth to the story telling and character development that you just don't have time for in a feature film. This is what "The Killing" was trying to do, but failed.

Can people recommend some good podcasts?

I recommend: Serial, This American Life, Radiolab, Invisibilia.

Round #3 through the Secret History continues, and I have another question:
Is there any connection between the Zalesky in the early Jack books and the Zalesky in Conspiracies? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Just want to say I thought it was a great book. His IV was clever, particularly since the victim would likely loose all sense of time, it would likely seem to last forever.

Using the term Mohammedans was pretty clever as well. To me it pegged the time as mid 1960's, when Ginsberg came out with "Howl."

Apologies if this has been asked and buried within a thread. I did a search, but so far it's looking like FPW has not done any of his own recordings. I assume it would be an exhausting process, so I could certainly understand why not.

Does anyone find any voice artists of any of the books particularly good/exciting?

BTW, I am new here, so--greetings, everyone!

...that received FPW's approval that I've recently enjoyed are The Worricker Trilogy and Phoenix Island.

The Worricker trilogy are films starring Bill Nighy as a British spy. I have actually only watched the first two and both are excellent intellectual thrillers. Nighy has fast become one of my favorite actors and he doesn't disappoint in these and they also boast exceptional supporting casts.

Phoenix Island by John Dixon is an intense YA thriller about a kid sentenced to a boot camp type island with some seriously psychotic drill instructors. Fans of RJ will find a lot to root for in the story's protagonist Carl Freeman.
